FRONTIER CINDERELLA, Book 3 of Frontier Matches by Award Winning Regina Scott

​FRONTIER CINDERELLA is a delightful story. It's not all sugar and lace, and it feels different than Regina Scott's other fictional offerings. Still, it fits in with the previous Frontier Bachelors series and warmed my heart. I love it when a new series has characters that link with an older one. Don't you? FRONTIER CINDERELLA caused me to reminisce about the stories leading up to this one, and when this story ended, I felt euphoric! 

Katie Jo McAllister has that quiet fire about her. I liked her immediately and celebrated her strength and growth as the story's difficulties progressed. Regina placed the right mix of unique character and beauty—in more ways than one—to make this story shine. Harry Yeager—I recognized him from former stories, and Regina gave him such a workout! Well done, Harry, and well done, Regina! 😊 

The Wallin support characters had me smiling. Regina, how do you keep all our fictional friends straight in your head because they were well-rounded and simply amazing! Zeke was inspiring, and Cole McAllister was quite challenging!

I loved the challenges and obstacles faced by Katie Jo and Harry. (Both internal and other.) I'm sure that some real-life people from the past experienced what these characters lived. So reader, if you want a clean historical romance with a story of substance, I'm sure you will enjoy FRONTIER CINDERELLA! Though I was given this novel for a review, I am giving you my honest evaluation and reactions to Regina's story. This one is well worth your reading time.

Questions for Regina:

This is not the most original question but what or who inspired you to write Katie Jo’s character?

Katie Jo just appeared one day as I was writing the previous book in the series, Her Frontier Sweethearts. I suppose I’ve always had a soft spot for Doris Day’s portrayal of Calamity Jane. Katie Jo’s that sort of gal—she may not wear frilly dresses, but she’d be the first one in line to offer help if you needed it.
 
Did you roleplay any of your scenes to create a different direction or choice for any of your characters?

Not for this book, though I have had my sons act out portions of my books in the past. They always loved the sword fight scenes in my Regencies. 
 
What is your favorite recipe made with anise?

I can’t give you one, because I actually hate the flavoring! But it was a common one in the Victorian age and on the frontier, so my characters tend to use it.
 
I would love to know what you would like for your reader to take away from your story since you don’t write fluff and always offer interesting historical information and relationships with resolution or wisdom.  
 
Thank you! I hope readers finish the story knowing they are loved, just as they are. We don’t need fancy clothes or a prestigious job to be welcomed at the table of our heavenly Father. He made us to love and be loved, and He loves us wherever we are.
 
What novel do you have lined up next and what do you want to tell us about it? 

Next up, in July, is Never Admire an Adventurer, the second book in my Fortune’s Brides: Guarding Her Heart series, about four elite soldiers trying to make their home in England during the Regency. Kristof Tanner’s assignment to guard an heiress is hardly the adventure he craves, until Julia Hewett concocts a pretend engagement to keep her father from matchmaking. But when danger arises, they must work together to uncover the culprit. Will they discover the greatest adventure of all is falling in love?
