Maisie Kentworth needs adventure like she needs air. It's not her fault if trouble happens to follow her, is it? Well, perhaps it is slightly her fault. She made mistakes while she was sweet on Silas Marsh, but that doesn't mean he should hound her and her kin trying to stir up more trouble for the Kentworths.

On one of her explorations, Maisie stumbles into a crystal-lined cave in a nearly-abandoned mine. Then she stumbles into the mine owner.

Boone Bragg had almost decided to sell the mine, but the discovery of this giant geode has reshaped his plans and goals. Instead of mining for minerals, they could turn Crystal Cave into a tourist attraction. Surely people would come from all over to see the beauty that has been hidden away for centuries. "All the electric lights in the world can't compete with what God made and hid beneath our feet," Boone says in Chapter 14.

But Boone has a problem. Could it be that his problem—and hers as well—could be solved by an unconventional arrangement?

This book is a hoot! Maisie and Boone are unique and distinct characters that you'll remember after you turn the last page. I love that this story took a slice of real history and breathed life into something most have forgotten or never knew about. If you want to know more, check out Proposing Mischief for yourself. Remember to read only in places where you don't mind laughing out loud!

I received my copy of the book from the author. All thoughts in this review are my own.
