Much Ado About Mavericks is truly a delight! Jacquie Rodgers deftly portrays the old west with her signature style--entertaining, satisfying and laugh-out-loud funny. Benjamin Lawrence wanted a different life than his father's when he was sent away to Harvard thirteen years ago. He studied, worked hard and achieved success. He's about to have the life and the bride he's always wanted when his father dies and he must return to the Bar EL ranch for the reading of the will. A stagecoach ride into Henderson Flats turns his best laid plans upside down when he meets his match in the form of a six-foot, pistol-toting red-head who can shoot as well as any man. Janelle (Jake) O'Keefe might dress in men's clothes, but she is definitely all woman. She has no time or patience for the "city boy" she must train to take over the Bar EL. She'd have an easier time doing her job if she didn't find Jake so darn appealing.Ben and Jake are so fun to watch as they come to terms with each other and unite over the many obstacles thrown in their path. A rousing cast of secondary characters keep the excitement high and reader turning the pages. Much Ado About Mavericks will capture your heart and never let it go.
