She’s always getting into trouble. He’s always getting hurt.

At the turn of the 20th century, New York socialite Jenny Westraven is in trouble . . . again. An orphaned heiress from a large banking family, she’s expected to follow the rules of society and marry according to her wealth and status. But Jenny craves adventure and anything BUT the ordinary. So, when her guardian aunt and uncle return from a European vacation to find Jenny working as a typewriter girl in a Newark law office, they are appalled. Worse yet, they interrupt a kiss between her and her young boss Mr. “Ben” Bennett.


Jenny has been getting Ben in trouble since he was ten, so he’s secretly relieved when her guardians reject him as a suitor. He has other plans for his life, and they don’t include his troublesome childhood friend. When Jenny uses outrageous methods to reject the suitors her family does approve for her, her aunt and uncle decide to send her to her brother in Wyoming.


Then, a family tragedy takes Ben out west as well, and his path crosses with Jenny’s once again. As they work together to end an injustice, what was merely an attraction between them develops into something more. Unfortunately, Jenny’s involvement with another man comes between them and puts her in the worst trouble of her life.


Now Ben must decide whether to risk his heart to rescue her once again or cut his losses and let her go.

Historical fiction with heart, honesty and a bit of humor
This book, The Trouble with Jenny, hooked me in during the first few chapters, and it never let go. Part of it had to be the heroine. Jenny fiercely steps into situations that affect those that she loves and cares about. She does find herself getting into predicaments, but that only adds to her charm. This also adds humor and relatability to the book and may be one of the reasons that I could not put it down.Ben is of course a hero that one wants to get to know as well. He definitely has his flaws, but he also has a willingness to grow. Their story is a part of the book. But it isn't all of it.That is one part I appreciated about this book -the love story is not overly emphasized. There are several other important parts that make the story a wonderful one to read. Faith is an underlying element that braces the book. Each of the main characters go through experiences that helped them to rethink how they God. These situations add depth and meaning to the story without the reader feeling like a perpetual sermon is happening.I do feel that this work of historical fiction includes situations (cowboys, Native Americans, mission schools) that would have been true to the times. Although this book may not be steeped in history, the situations could have happened during the time periods presented in this book.There were several unexpected situations that I did not see coming. If I were to write about those characters, spoilers would result. Although this story was not a mystery, the unpredictable parts did add a lot of interest since I was not sure which direction the author was going to take the book.I am so glad that I read this book, and I hope to read additional books by this author. I was provided a copy of this book through a book tour. I could tell by the description that I wanted to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.

So I’m not one to read many fiction books, nonfiction is more my jam. That being said this book kept interested from the first chapter. I like how it is written from both the female and male main character’s points of view. The chapters aren’t too long so you feel like even if you don’t have time you can still finish a chapter or two. Since it is a romance, I appreciate that it has the romantic elements with being sexual in nature.

I really enjoyed this story of a young woman with a mind of her own and her long-time "friend." The characters and settings are well-drawn and I felt as if I were reading a true story. I look forward to the next book in the series.

The Trouble With Jenny is a fun read. I loved the characters and setting. There were a few surprises, a sassy, kind heroine, a swoon hero, some bad guys, danger, romance, and altruism.
Loved it!

The main characters are well developed. The storyline is well written and extremely engaging. It is so refreshing to be able to read a story that contains romance without explicit sex scenes. I heartily recommend this book.

I loved the main characters, Ben and Jenny, and their story rang true. I thought the historical portrayal of the West was accurate. Kathy obviously knows the West and her history. I was also impressed with her dialogue and complicated story line. Well done.

The Trouble with Jenny
Wind River Chronicles #1
By Kathy Geary Anderson

Jenny Westraven is a beauty who has a sizeable inheritance to her name and as a member of New York's social elite, she is a highly sought-after prize. And that is the problem - she doesn't want to be valued for the financial windfall she will bring her husband. Rather she yearns for a marriage built on love, one like her late parents had. But more than anything Jenny wants to feel as if she belonged somewhere as if someone wanted her for her.

When Jenny has an opportunity to work in a law office as a typewriter for her childhood acquaintance, Ben, she's more than willing to throw herself into the work. There's just one tiny little problem her guardians are less than thrilled that she is working and that she is found in a most appalling situation - kissing her employer!

With her singular skill at getting herself into trouble, Jenny soon finds herself heading West, banished to live with her brother until she is invited back into her aunt and uncle's good graces and home. But it seems that wherever she goes trouble follows. And the person most likely to be on the painful end of Jenny's adventures is Ben.

When Jenny finds herself in a situation that could ruin her, she is determined to fight back. But she needs Ben's help to do so. Can a man with a broken heart truly be her best defense? Jenny is about to find out just where she belongs.

The Trouble with Jenny is a delightful read. Set at the dawning of the Twentieth Century it is interesting to contrast what was with what is. Women had no voice. Those born into wealth were expected to be nothing more than ornamentation on their husband's arm. And wanting adventure is a total no-no. Too bad Jenny is determined to live life to its fullest.

Overall this book is excellent reading. The characters captured my attention and I dearly hope to visit them again in future books. If you are looking for something new to read in the historical romance genre this is one you have to try. This is clean reading that is perfect for mid-teens and up.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - All thoughts expressed are my own.
