Each time I read a book by Jacquie Rogers, I think she cannot possibly top it. Her next book always proves me wrong. MUCH ADO ABOUT MAVERICKS is such a fun, fast, read. I needed to stop reading and go to sleep, but I simply HAD to see what would happen next.Ben "Skeeter" Lawrence is a successful Boston lawyer who escaped his father's constant disapproval to attend Harvard and establish a profitable law practice. He has been courting his boss' daughter, Patience, and expects to be made a full partner in the firm when they marry. His father's death brings Ben back to Owyhee, Idaho to settle his father's estate. But his father's will creates a disaster for Ben.The ranch foreman turns out to be a gorgeous redhead female almost as tall as Ben. Not only is she beautiful, she is the best foreman anywhere. Her name is Janelle, but no one calls her that. She is Jake and the ranch hands respect her ability. She takes no flack from anyone. At first, she is disgusted with Ben's city ways.The will requires Ben to stay on the ranch for six months. At first, he is determined not to give in, but then he realizes he wants Jake's respect along with that of the ranch hands and townspeople. He pitches in to learn the ropes--which includes roping.Ms Rogers has written a winning cast of characters that come alive for the reader. Anyone who enjoys a fun, fast read or a western historical romance or the Old West or a mystery will enjoy this book. Do yourself a favor and read MUCH ADO ABOUT MAVERICKS!
