A curious reporter. A charming gambler. Will they accept the love dealt them?

As the newcomer in town, Jessamine McMahon is determined to forge her own path as a reputable reporter. In order to survive in the small town of Bear Grass Springs, she soon learns that she has to peddle local news and gossip as well as hard news. At turns fascinated and repelled by Ewan MacKinnon, Jessamine writes frequent articles about him, calling him the town’s “most disreputable gentleman.”

Ewan MacKinnon lives a charmed life. A successful builder, he spends his evenings at the saloons or at other fine establishments in town. He has no interest in a wife. In love. Not again. However, Jessamine intrigues him with her fiery spirit and determination to prove herself capable in a world often merciless to independent women.

As she learns to read his poker face and he reads between the lines in her articles, they realize theirs is no usual courtship. Will they trust in their love or squander the opportunity given to them?

3. I enjoyed reading Ramona Flightner’s book, Montana Maverick, Bear Grass Springs, #3 as it provided me with a glimpse of life in the late 1800s Montana Territory. I particularly enjoyed the way she blends romance and intrigue into this old west tale. The plot line is well thought out with several twists and turns to create tension and suspense.
Ms. Flightner created mutli-dimensional characters. Her protagonists, Jessamine (JP) McMahon is a strong and independent journalist who resettled into this community from Independence and St. Louis. Ewan MacKinnon is also a strong, dynamic and independent individual. Both are complex and flawed with varying degrees of pain. As the story enfolds, we witness how they are transformed and face their demons. The supporting characters are equally crafted. The interactions and interplay among Ms. Flightner’s characters move the plot line along.
I appreciate Ms. Flightner’s use of descriptive language and dialog. As I immersed myself in this book, I found myself smiling, laughing and getting annoyed with all the characters in this colorful community. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy historical romances in the old west. I also plan to get my hands on the other books in this series.

This author writes interesting plots and the characters are well-developed. Jessamine (JP) McMahon is the new journalist in town. She's really hard to tolerate at the outset because she is so brassy and intent on leaving her mark. She doesn't seem to care about being part of the community; just making a splash with her exposes'. Before long, the citizens are afraid to be around JP because of the bite of her pen. I found it hard to imagine that someone of her intelligence had so little insight into her actions and how they negatively affected others. Even when she was told by others who liked her, she remained obtuse.

Ewan MacKinnon is a carpenter in town with two older brothers and a younger sister. He is being chased by Helen Jameson, who is intent on marrying a MacKinnon. She's been turned down by the older two MacKinnon's and Ewan is avoiding her like a plague too. I must say that Helen didn't ring true. With the abuse she took from her mother and brother, someone in that town would have intervened (with a job or mothering or something) so she wouldn't have to shame herself repeatedly. People in these small towns took care of each other in many ways. Of course, the author wanted Helen to continue so she could tell her story in book 4 of this series.

Generally, the dialogue helped continue the story but sometimes it dropped into sappiness; particularly (at times) in the last 5 chapters. As I was reading the book, I enjoyed it. But when it ended, I realized there wasn't much to the story. This book seems to be rewriting history; so many heroines are pushing to be more than society accepted them to be during this time in America. Granted, Western women had fewer restrictions on them working outside the home. However, this book made them seem that they were all intent on breaking out of society's strictures. Do I plan to read any of the remaining books in this series (there are 12, so far)? No.

Another delightful story from Ramona Flightner. I enjoyed it just as much as the previous one in the series. Her characters are rich and engaging, so much so that I get angry at them, sad with them, and thrilled at their victories. This one follows the new reporter/printer in town as she tries to make a name for herself.

The series follows a Montana community in the 1800s. It’s full of colorful people of various backgrounds and tells the stories of the challenges they faced as they forged new lives in the west. It’s an enjoyable read with a happy ending, and a great setup for the next book in the series.

A very entertaining story. When a new reporter takes over the small town newspaper she doesn't seem to care what kind of trouble she stirs up for whoever she decides to print about in each publication. The town folks were leary of her therefore she was very lonely. She especially targeted one man with her hurtful comments in every newspaper. This leads to some confrontations. A story with lots of twists and turns and complications that make for a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Ewan Is tired of the local paper causing him grief. He storms into the print shop and starts to complain to JP the paper owner.
JP is a woman who will not be told what to do. She prints basically the facts. She doesn’t care if feelings are hurt or not. Her name is Jessamine.

I enjoyed reading this book
