MUCH ADO ABOUT MINERS is an action-packed, charming, and wonderfully funny Westrn historical romance. Author Jacquie Rogers has given us delightful characters and a story full of surprises. While those surprises are fun and unexpected, they are fully integral to the plot and the personalities of the characters.Our heroine – vision-challenged, suffragist iris – has a mind of her own and an unfortunately itchy trigger finger. Courageous and irrepressible, she proves quite a handful for hunky gunman (and undercover security agent) Kade,  whose run-ins with her keep both of them hot and bothered, and more often than not, careening toward calamity. Kade and Iris are endearing and original characters, and Ms. Rogers does a wonderful job of creating vivid secondary characters as well. The barroom brawl scene is one of the funniest, and best choreographed, scenes I've read in a long time. It's really priceless. And how can you not love a hero who, when confronted by a surly, brawny miner who objects to a scraggly alley cat sitting on the bar, defends the cat, growling, "He's with us."If you love to read Westerns and love to laugh, you'll love MUCH ADO ABOUT MINERS!
