Caroline Adams returns to Indian Territory after tiring of confining society life. She wants adventure, and when she and her friend Amber come across swaggering outlaw Frisco Smith, they find his dreams for the new territory are very persuasive. With the much-anticipated land run pending, they may just join the rush.
Growing up parentless, all Frisco Smith wanted was a place to call his own. It’s no wonder that he fought to open the Unassigned Lands. After years of sneaking across the border, he’s even managed to put in a dugout house on a hidden piece of property he’s poised to claim.
When the gun sounds, everyone’s best plans are thrown out the window in the chaos of the run. Caroline and Frisco soon find themselves battling over a claim–and both dig in their heels. Settling the rightful ownership will bring these two closer than they ever expected and change their ideas of what a true home looks like.

Book Title: The Major's Daughter
Book Author: Regina Jennings
What do you like about this book:
3.5 stars
"To the outsider it might look like he was always hunting for adventure, but really he was searching for home."
And Frisco Smith was certain that he had found it. After years of scouting out property in the Unassigned Lands of Oklahoma, the mere sound of a gun was going to make it legal to claim some of his very own; his grand dream of forming the town of Redhawk was at his fingertips . . . until a red headed major's daughter beat him to it. The little minx had somehow managed to out-claim him.
"There were two things she really enjoyed. She liked getting her way and she liked to claim that she was independent and didn't need her family."
Caroline Adams had always been a bit enamored with Frisco Smith. He seemed wonderfully reckless and free-flowing with his compliments, but now? She had a chance to make a fresh start, to make her own decisions regarding her future, and she was only just a little sorry that she had managed to stake Frisco's prized property as her own.
As Frisco and Caroline butt heads over property rights and "doing the right thing", they slowly come to the realization that being on opposite sides of the dispute is not nearly as fun as being on the same side, . . . . . . . except that it always, always, always came back to the land.
Enjoy this witty glimpse into life just outside the walls of Fort Reno during the 1889 Land Run when it was every man (and woman) for himself, and where tender moments amidst the ever-present prairie dust sparked a budding romance which arrived "sooner" rather than later, in spite of going nowhere until it went exactly where it was supposed to arrive; home.
I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above were entirely my own.
