Much Ado About Madams Hearts of Owyhee Book 1 edition by Jacquie Rogers Literature Fiction eBooks
I liked this book, I just think that it was missing something to make it really good. I think the premise was great. Lucinda, a young suffragist school teacher leaves Miss Hattie's School for the Refinement of Young Ladies and moves out west for a job. Instead of the group of seven year olds she was expecting,she finds herself working in a brothel teaching a group of prostitutes that want to better themselves. Having been raised in a brothel herself, until her mother had been killed, Lucinda felt the need to help the women make new lives. Reece is a reluctant brothel owner. He didn't know much about his father, except that he was not a very good man, and that he did not treat women well, as evidenced by him marrying then leaving his mother to raise Reese alone. He thought he had inherited a simple hotel, but when he learned it was a brothel, he couldn't simply shut the place down and leave the working girls destitute. Instead, he worked on saving as much as possible, so that when he does close down the brothel he will be able to provide funds for the women to make new lives. Attraction between Lucinda and Reece is instant, but both have big reasons why they could not possibly be together. As a suffragist, Lucinda feels like that she doesn't need a man, plus she is still living with the fear from her childhood experiences. Reece also had fears that he would end up like his father, so he stayed away from proper women like Lucinda. Despite all this, the working girls decide that Reece and Lucinda are perfect for each other, and do everything they can to get the together.It sounds like a very serious story, but it is actually a comedy, and a fairly good one. Most of the humor comes from the working girls. I like that the author gave each of them a backstory, and I would have liked to know more about them. Apparently the author is planning on writing a series of novellas that will tell their stories which explains why we are left with so many hanging storylines.
I think both of main characters were truly interesting, both having very intense and detailed back stories but I wish more had been done with it. The main problems that I had with book was that it seemed to drag on in parts. There are some sections that I think could be cut out completely because they didn't really contribute to the story. Another big problem that I had was the end of the book. It was pretty anticlimactic. Sure it was a HEA, but there were so many things that I think needed to be cleared up, particularly with the fate of the working girls. But again I'm guessing the author did this intentionally for the purposes of the follow up books. I get it, but it is still very frustrating. I was really confused by the way the storyline with the villain ended. I don't want to spoil it, but that plot twist came completely out of left field and was really unnecessary. Also I still don't know exactly who Charlie is, and what his involvement with the rustling was. There were other minor issues, such as use of terms that didn't feel appropriate to the time period, but that wasn't too distracting. Overall it was an enjoyable read.

Much Ado About Madams Hearts of Owyhee Book 1 edition by Jacquie Rogers Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I love this book a story about a innocent teacher tricked to teach a whorehouse full of soiled doves. This book has it all drama, adventure, humor and love. They maybe soiled doves but they have strength, loyalty and dreams of a better life. This book will bring you joy and laughter to your day. I loved it so much now I'm on my way to read Much Ado About Marshal's book 2 in this series. Happy Reading 📚📚📚📚
I was looking for something to read before turning out the lights at bedtime while I was staying at my Dad's house for several weeks. I pulled this book up on my iPad and spent several nights reading it. It held my interest and was pretty entertaining. The main character seemed a little unrealistic at times, but overall, I enjoyed the book.
I enjoyed reading Much Ado About Madams which is the second book in Jacquie Rogers' Hearts of Owyhee series. She was able to have the same humor in this book that she had in the first one and I thought it read just as smoothly as the first book also. I think my favorite character would have to be Lucinda because she tries her best to handle any situation she is in. Lucinda comes to Dickshooter, Idaho thinking she is going to be teaching young children and finds outs her students are closer to her age if not older, but she stays anyway to teach. Then there are at least two scenes where she tries to save Reese, the man who supposedly hired her to teach the "children." I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you want to check out my full review, you can go to bestonlinereviewofbooks.com.
I really liked MUCH ADO ABOUT MARSHALS so I had high hopes for MUCH ADO ABOUT MADAMS and I'm happy to say that I was not disappointed at all. This book was a fun romp of a read.
There was a charming heroine, Lucina, who is very determined and strong-willed in addition to being beautiful and tender-hearted. Also, there was the practically perfect hero, Reese, who was kind and caring as well as handsome and strong-minded. (I fell a little in love with him myself.) Not to mention really great, well-developed secondary characters consisting of three powerful men hired by Reese to help take care of the seven "soiled doves" (whores) that Reese found himself saddled with.
Lucinda and Reese and all the other characters had complex, well-defined personalities and I loved seeing the terrific interactions between everyone. The dialogues were mostly authentic to the time period. (The word "duster" means a lady's short coat popular during the 1920's and was used on several occasions to mean a man's coat.) Unfortunately, there were quite a few editing mistakes (like "looked" for "locked" and "of" for "off" just to name two examples) which sometimes interrupted the flow of the story and is the main reason that I took off a star. However, the dialogues were a lot of fun to read and the imagery was really first-rate so I really cared what happened to the characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book; it really held my interest through the entire book. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes their historical romances to also be amusing and entertaining.
