I enjoy the warriners. This one was fun but my least favorite of the four stories.

I loved the love story between Jamie and Cassie, though the intensity and detail of some of the drama/trauma was a bit much for my tastes.

Today I finish the 2nd book in Virginia Heath's Wild Warriners series, "A Warriner to Rescue Her". And... I loved it!
I had found Captain James Warriner very interesting when I read about him in the first book, and I was so excited to read about him in this book because I truly felt there was something really special in his heart and he deserved love too.
The book starts with Jamie finding Miss Cassandra Reeves stuck in a tree and in need of help to get down. Which meant that Jamie had to climb the tree to help her out. Sound like a easy solution of course, but things are never that simple. And that's how things beginning.
Cassie is the only daughter of Reverend Reeves, and like Jamie, she has her own demons to slay. Then again, we all have fears and nightmares in our minds, which made both character - Jamie and Cassie - so relatable.
I hated Reverend Reeves way before he talked. I see him as a horrid human being, that recites bible versus at her and everyone that is doing or saying something against him or that goes against his twisted values. And, of course, he doesn't like the Warriner's, like all the people that gossip about them. And with all the rumors about them, no wonder he decides to helped them get redemption and forgiveness from all their sins. Because they REALLY need guidance, the Reverend's guidance.
I'm not even going to repeat what he said or what he did, but I loved how the Warriners dealt with him.And it actually made me laugh, but that may have been just me. I don't want to give any spoilers so I'm not saying anything else about the Reverend.
Now, about Cassie and Jamie relationship. I loved how they met and how they got more and more connected because of her storybook. Although in the blurb it was talking about him helping her out with the storybook, it still is something so amazing that I couldn't help but smile every time they were together.
Once again, Virginia gave me a romance book full of surprises, some sweet moments and a few laughs. That's really something I love about her books, the fact that her books grab my attention and just makes me feel like I'm part of that world.
So yes! Of course I do recommend this book. And my comment about the 1st books is true here "you may fall in love with the characters too". If you love Captain James Warriner in the 1st book and found him mysterious and wanted to know more about what was going on in his mind, you will love this book.
That been said, there is no doubt in my mind that this is a 5* read.

An enjoyable, quick read with humor, charm, and a romance I believed in.

I'm liking this series a lot, and particularly liked this H/h. We meet Jamie in the last book, as the grumpy second oldest Warriner who was injured in the Napoleonic Wars and is struggling with PTSD and accepting his new physical limitations. He meets Cassie in the cutest way, by trying to get her unstuck from a tree. Instead, he gets a tantalizing view of her rear end and garters before she falls on him and flattens him. Cassie turns out to be the new vicar's daughter who is herself struggling with her life circumstances. She writes children stories through the eyes of her pony Orange Blossom. Cassie is so sweet and charming. Her self deprecating humor is charming, and shows how she has managed a sunny life outlook even though her father has done nothing for her self esteem.
Now, I had a few issues with both these books. First, the characters (and especially the heroes) tend to spend WAY TOO LONG in their own heads feeling unworthy of love. This would be tolerable to me IF the endings were a bit emotionally meatier. Especially in this book, but this does apply to both, I feel that there could have been a little more of the H/h together after their drama is concluded to balance out all the internal drama that happens for 80% of the book. I wanted more of the happy togetherness.
Second, I read the first 2 books of this series back to back. This made it quite obvious that they were very much the same plot, but reversed. In the first book they meet when H rescues a bound and gagged h from kidnappers hired by her old vile uncle, takes her home, and nurses her while holding her. In this book, towards the end H rescues h, bound and gagged by her old and vile father, takes her home and spends the night holding/comforting her. Both H's spend the whole book wanting h but feeling unworthy. Both h's have similar unworthy feelings, have essentially no family, but are braver in pursuing love with these dense men while falling in love with the "family" aspect of the wild Warriners.
Even though both books were similar, I liked this one a bit more. The meet cute won me. I liked the curvy h and grumpy H trope, and that Jamie reveals his true feeling through his paintings of these children stories so cleverly created by Cassie.
I'm taking a break to read other things before finishing this series, but I'm curious if they will deviate from the plot set by the first two. I do hope so.

4.5 stars. This book was a fucking delight. I could not wipe the smile off my face reading this.
The hero and the heroine are both two precious cinnamon buns I want to smother with icing. They both have mega daddy issues and low self esteem and just can't figure out how much they both mutually love each other. Their bonding over writing and illustrating the book was so freakin' cute I could barely stand it.
The only criticism I could give is that their "she/he can't possibly love me" shtick went on a little long, but their hang ups were pretty understandable. The previous book had the same issue and it bothered me far less here.
I can't wait for the sequel.
