Cassandra Austin (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Historical | Publication Date: April 1, 1999

She'd Grown Up In Frontier Forts,

so if she couldn't handle a harmless kiss with a soldier, who could? Rebecca Huntington blithely declared. But she hadn't planned on her heart being captured by the likes of officer Clark Forrester, a gentleman whose "casual" kisses were anything but!

If Lieutenant Clark Forrester wasn't careful, he would find himself marching down the aisle with Rebecca Huntington. And while a woman who could ride astride, beat him at chess and unnerve him just by deepening her dimples was a fascinating pastime, wooing the boss's daughter and a court-martial could go hand in hand!

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT STORY!, January 7, 2002

This review is from: Unlikely Wife (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Willful, sassy Rebecca Huntington had grown up in frontier Forts and was anxious to return "home" to her father after six years with her Aunt Belle and her cousin Alicia Evans.
During her six years she has learned the delightful pastime of flirting and the thrill of a "casual" kiss.

After meeting Lieutenant Clark Forrester, she found it hard to forget his "casual" kiss. But she wouldn't see him again, right?
Rebecca talked her aunt into joining the army supply train to make the final leg to her father's fort.
Finding Lieutenant Forrester leading the supply train, she became fascinated in watching him shave every morning. And wasn't deterred by the threat of indians

While Lieutenant Forrester found that a woman who could ride astride, beat him at chess and unnerve him just by deepening her dimples was a fascinating pastime, wooing the boss's daughter and a court-martial could go hand in hand.

You will find this story fascinating and I highly recommend it.
A wonderful frontier characterization and great characters.
