Beth Wallin is matchmaking again! But will her heart become
entangled in her plans to find a wife for the handsome Deputy Hart McCormick?
That might not be such a good idea, because this deputy has an excellent secret
reason for not becoming involved with a woman again. After all, he is the very
man who’d rejected Beth’s interest only a year ago! Talk about challenging.
The variety of ages and personalities for FRONTIER MATCHMAKER BRIDE’S victims,
criminals, and main characters complemented nicely. Oh, those villains and
their plotting! Some of my favorite characters—besides Beth and Hart—were:
Scout, Ganzel, Bobby, Mrs. Jenkins, and the Denny ladies to name some. Even if
their part was small I liked them still!
I really enjoyed this book for the storyline, characters
and humor that Regina writes seamlessly into her historical tale. The 1875-time
period is like sampling expensive chocolate for me! I love the culture Regina
takes me to, the dresses, fabric, and horses. The simple life made complicated
by character interaction. Regina ties the situations and personalities into
such a perfectly satisfying culmination of the FRONTIER BACHELOR series that I
must suggest that you enjoy the rest of the series too! At least I hope that
you will! I highly recommend this historical. Yes, I did receive his novel from
Regina to peruse. My statements about FRONTIER
MATCHMAKER BRIDE come from my honest appreciation for Regina Scott’s
ability to entertain me with wholesome, delightful stories that I’m eager to
recommend!

Questions
for Regina Scott:
1)
Was
it difficult for you to hold-out on sharing all of the vibrant and precious characteristics
of Beth Wallin in the previous novels? (Her positive personality reminded me of
some of my friends!)
Because
Beth featured in the background of 6 of the 7 previous books, I’m not sure I
held out all that much—LOL. But I hope this time I was able to bring her out to
the fullest, giving her center stage.
2)
Is
your mind popping with stories, which in my opinion could easily splinter off
of this Wallin series? (I wish there could be more FRONTIER BACHELOR historicals!)
Absolutely!
I’d like to tell the stories of the next generation of Wallins and their
friends. But Love Inspired is closing its historical line, and most publishers
will not pick up a book related to a series with rights held by another
publisher. So, I’m afraid Frontier
Bachelor sequels, prequels, and
other connections will have to wait until I regain the rights, likely many
years from now.
3)
Is
this location, Seattle Washington Territory, special to you? Why?
Very special. I grew up 40 miles south of
Seattle and returned to my roots about
four years ago. I now live south of Seattle on the way to Mt. Rainer, and it
has been a pleasure researching and writing about things that might have
happened in my own backyard.
4)
What
is a theme from this story that you would like your readers to notice and enjoy?
One
theme that flows through most of my books is finding your place in the world.
We all have to learn where our unique, God-given skills and longings fit and
where they can make a difference for others.
5)
Was
there a scene you would like to tell us about that didn’t make it into this
story?
I
would love to have told more about Beth’s involvement with various charities
and causes in Seattle. That girl has energy!
6)
Who
is your favorite or some of your favorite mystery writer(s)?
I am
a huge fan of Elizabeth Peters, who wrote the Amelia Peabody mysteries that span from the
Victorian era to after World War I. I’d love to have Amelia’s kind of spunk!
7)
Can
you tell us about the next novel you will be releasing?
In
May, I’ll be returning to my beloved Regency period with the first of the
Fortune’s Brides series, Never Doubt a Duke. When the mysterious owner of the
Fortune Employment Agency and her matchmaking cat arrange for the irrepressible
Jane Kimball to take the governess’ position with the Duke of Wey, everyone has
doubts. But when the duke must take a wife, thoughts turn to an unlikely
governess who might make the perfect bride.
