Reckless Rogue

by Mary Davis

Lizzie Carter is no ordinary doll. Lieutenant Pete Garfield loves to flirt with the ladies-"dolls" as he calls them-in every town where he lands his Curtiss JN-4D biplane. There are always plenty in the crowds who gather to gape at his amazing aeroplane and pay him for a ride. But one special girl in Cashmere, Washington, captures his interest with her extraordinary knowledge of aeroplanes and her insistence on flying his! No one but Pete flies the Jenny, but he sure doesn't mind giving pretty Lizzie some free rides. Lizzie Carter has always dreamed of flying, but she won't be satisfied until she pilots an aeroplane herself. She sees Pete's arrival in Cashmere as the perfect opportunity to make her dreams come true. But she didn't expect this carefree aviator to capture her heart. Will Pete settle in one town long enough to fall in love with one special girl? Or will the past he's been fleeing finally catch up with him?

About the author

Mary originally earned her college degree in elementary education. So where did the passion for inspirational romance books begin? In her head! Her characters would not leave her alone. They kept her from sleeping at night, and focusing on anything else during the day. Over forty titles later, they still keep bothering her to this day - luckily for her readers and fans!

Quiet-natured and creative, Mary also enjoys many crafts such as porcelain doll making, quilting, knitting, and many others!

Neither her dyslexia nor the cat on her laptop has kept her from producing award-winning and bestselling works such as her Quilting Circle series, Mrs. Witherspoon Goes To War, and Newlywed Games. Her published works have been on Publisher’s Weekly bestselling lists several times.

Additionally, she contributes to the writing world as a member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers).

She currently resides in Washington State with her husband, a black cat named Buffy, and her favorite weather: the rain.

Reviews

Every time that Pete used the term “doll” was like nails on a blackboard. It ruined the story line that he would be so derogatory towards females then refer to god.

This was a pretty fun story; true, I did get tired of the leading male repeatedly using the term "doll" for any and all women around his age, but the original plot kept me interested, there was a bit of humor in the story, and a nice resolution that included characters from other books by the author. I bumped it up to 4 stars from the 3.5 I would have rated it, because this writer has an easy-to-read writing style and generally does not make her characters too good to be true but instead aqllows them to be human and make mistakes.

All of the books I've read by Mary Davis have been somewhat predictable. However it is the journey that makes the story so enjoyable. her characters are delightful and one never needs to worry bout objectionable
