The Prospector's Only Prospect by Dani Collins
Virgil Gardner has a reputation as a grumpy hard-ass, and he’s fine with it. He’s also no fool—this is not the woman he agreed to marry. It takes a tough-as-nails woman to survive the harshness of a Rocky Mountain gold claim, and this whiskey-eyed, gentle beauty is certainly not the type. Now it’s just a matter of how quickly she’ll quit so he can find a wife who will stick. Someone who can care for the only thing he values even more than gold–his children.
But Marigold isn’t about to give in. Cramped in a one-room shack. Berry picking turned into a bear escape. Or cooking for an entire crew of bottomless pits. She’s got more grit than most. And just when Virgil starts to realize his replacement bride might be the treasure he’s been looking for, an unannounced guest arrives…to change everything.

I loved this! The Prospector’s Only Prospect was
such an entertaining and fun read. I loved the characters, the time period,
and the playful banter. It was a delight! It had a great flow and I liked the
dual POVs. There was just the right amount of emotion with a little drama and
quite a bit of heat. It made me ridiculously happy to read!
I loved the characters. I loved learning about Virgil, I
adored him with his kids and how that relationship grew. I loved him sharing, his
softer side coming out, and the small but sweet gestures he did. There is
something about a grumpy man that pulls me in but when that grumpy has some
soft and you can feel those feelings, it's awesome. I loved Marigold so much.
I felt for her and the circumstance she was in and how she was putting herself
out there to make a better life for herself. She was hard-working, smart, and tenacious.
Both Virgil and Marigold were pretty stubborn and made me crazy at times but
they had this back-and-forth verbal sparring that was so witty and made me
smile. I loved them opening up and their walls coming down. The sexual tension between
them was fantastic and when things ramp up between them, holy hot and steamy!
I loved this era, the bits of history shared, and learning about what everyone was going through. I like the bonds the men formed and
how they became their own rag-tag family of sorts. Virgil’s children were
adorable. There were so many sweet moments with them that made me melt. I also
really liked the relationship that Marigold formed with them.
This was my first time reading this author and I am thrilled
with what I got and am looking forward to more. It was an entertaining, easy
read that had me rooting for Virgil and Marigold to get their HEA. This was an
exciting and charming read and I enjoyed every second!

I don't know if I've read a book set in the Gold Rush before this one but I definitely need more of this time period in my life. Do you have any recommendations? Let me know!
