Review: The Undercover Heiress of Brockton by:K Goshorn

 

About the Book:

 Collect a new series of six historical romances. When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be discovered.

Henrietta “Etta” Maxwell, heiress to the Maxwell fortune, is a hard-hitting investigative reporter for The Enterprise Daily. The catch? Etta must pen her columns under the nom de plume, Henry Mason—a fact that routinely puts a knot in her knickerbockers.

Leo Eriksson is a second-generation firefighter with a passion for rendering aid to those in need. When Leo discovers that Henry Mason is really Henrietta Maxwell, the fire department’s wealthy benefactress, he agrees to keep her identity secret. 

After a sudden blast rocks the Grover Shoe Factory, Leo and Etta team up to determine if the explosion is related to a series of suspicious fires in the area. But sparks fly when Leo accuses Etta of negating the human side of the disaster in her determination to get a good story.

When an unnamed source reveals Etta’s secret identity to a rival reporter, she falsely accuses Leo of being the informant. As the truth comes to light, Etta must persuade Leo to give her a second chance or lose the only man she’s ever loved.

My Review: 

 So set in a time when ladies kinda got the hard line, as far as trying to make a name for themselves or to really do anything in the world. Etta had to use a pen name and that name being a man's name. The name was Henry Mason.  Etta Maxwell and Henry Mason being one and the same star reporter for the local paper. Etta is a wealthy lady but she also likes a good mystery. And so it goes she is off on another adventure about town, the Grover Shoe Factory had an explosion and series of suspicious fires. 

 Of course Etta will make her way there to investigate but there is always an annoyance of some kind and this time its of one Leo Eriksson a firefighter and legend around town. He is always helpful and neighborly. He cares deeply for these people and the town as a whole. He happens to run into Etta and things arent exactly picturesque. 

 Thats when things start to go downhill and these two start butting heads. Etta is all about getting the story and Leo is worried about the people. But soon sparks start to fly between the two and it aint to start another, if you know what I mean. 

 These book is perfect for a good crisp fall day. It has a mystery which I love and it has some romance. Great Read!
