Deep in the Heart of Trouble

Deep in the Heart of Trouble by Deeanne Gist

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Seems to be a lot of books out about feisty, independent women from the 1890s. (I would so love to visit that time!) Gist's comes back with her second in the Trouble series with her main character, sassy Essie Spreckelmeyer, an oil baron's daughter who also runs the company and a bicycle club to boot. Essie is a lot of fun and is quite happy being a single lady in her 30s (spinsterhood in those days, ye-gads)when Tony Morgan starts climbing the rungs in Spreckelmeyer oil business. Determined not to get hurt again, Essie steers clear until the whole town starts claiming him as one of their own.



A fun, enjoyable read - I learned a bit of the oil business in its early days and when "by jingo" was considered a swear word!
