I loved the cover of this book. I thought it was so cute and I hoped the story inside would match... and as always, Regina Jennings provides a fun, humorous story full of history, love, faith, struggle and amusement. You can't help but be intrigued by the stories of the history surrounding the Civil War. The situations that people within our nation came up against were real, difficult and life-changing. In her normal style, Regina brings some of these situations to life and allows us to read about them in her fun stories.

This story is one that I love to read! The setting is during the end of the Civil War and the main characters have one adventure after another. I was able to read it fairly quickly, as I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Thank you Regina Jennings for a beautifully written book!

A Most Inconvenient Marriage by Regina Jennings was such a fun read, I read it in less than 24 hours. I could not put this book down. Taking place right after the Civil War, Nurse Abigail Stuart gives in to a dying soldiers request and marries him. Jeremiah Calhoun was her late husbands name and his main concern was for his sister Rachel to be taken care of. In the bargain Abigail would receive the rights to his farm. Being driven from her own family, Abigail quickly makes her way to the Ozark farm and sets up house with her mother -in-law and Rachel, her sister-in-law. Just to make things interesting, she must also confront Jeremiahs fianc, Laurel, and let her know that he loved Laurel till the end. But marrying Abigail was for the best for his ailing sister. Their lives begin to settle into a new pattern until the real Jeremiah Calhoun shows up back home. Injured himself, he is bound and determined not to let this woman into his life and he wants to pick things back up with his fianc Laurel. This story delivers a delightful tale of antics, a slow burn love, danger, and the companionship of friends and neighbors. Not to mention the mystery of whom Abigail actually married if it was not Jeremiah Calhoun. I highly recommend this one by Regina Jennings and it is going on my keeper shelf. I received my copy from The Book Club Network, Inc. for an honest review and the opinions are my own.

Another delightful novel by Regina Jennings. Abigail and Jeremiah are strong characters, believable, flawed, and likable. I truly wanted these two hurting people to find happiness with each other. And the humor! The incidents with the skunks and the pie doughwell, you just have to read them yourself! I loved this story and highly recommend it.
