"Jessie and James" by Jennifer Beckstrand is book 3 in the Gold Diggers Collection) series. I haven't read the other books but I definitely have them in my too be read pile.
This is a fun read about gold mining and love. I was kept turning the pages.
This is a clean love story but it does have danger.
My favorite character has to be Jessie, a woman that carries a gun everywhere. I admire her forgiving spirit when it comes to two characters that are bandits. In fact Jessie's parents have that same forgiving spirit. But, I like James also because he is always saying, "What kind of man would I be if I let a woman carry two buckets of water ", and etc.
I really like the ending because I am believer that love conquers all.
I was really surprised to read a book by Jennifer Beckstrand that wasn't in the Amish genre, but I loved it and I think this book would make a great movie.
I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.
About the Author

More from Jennifer
Jessie and James is my first published Western historical novel, and I couldn’t be more excited. The first book I ever wrote was a historical Western, and I’ve been wanting to write another one for ten years. (That first Western is still hanging around my house somewhere. I might decide to publish it next. J) For my research, I traveled to a real mining town about two hours from my house. Yes, it really is named Eureka, and it was a boomtown in the 1880s, the period in which my book is set. I met an old-timer in Eureka who told me some fascinating stories about mining then and now.
Did you know that you may own the ground your house sits on, but you only own it to sixty feet deep? So a mining company can come in and dig a mine right under your house, and it’s perfectly legal. Many mines were dug straight down or in any direction that would get them to ore faster. In the 1880s in Eureka, often they’d dig straight down using only picks, shovels, and dynamite. A plumb bob was utilized to make sure their tunnels were straight up and down. They usually dug down 600 feet then drifted horizontally a couple hundred feet, then dug down again. Some mines went deeper than 1800 feet. Nowadays, there aren’t many mines that deep. They’re more dangerous, so they’re too expensive to insure.
In Jessie and James, James is an ex-cowboy turned geologist looking for gold. Jessie is a feisty, independent woman who runs a boarding house with her parents and thinks Eureka needs a little more fire-and-brimstone preaching to keep the incorrigible miners in line. Jessie doesn’t want anything to do with a gold digger, and she’s willing to use her shotgun to run James off. But James doesn’t scare that easy, especially when the woman on the other end of that shotgun might turn out to be the love of his life.
Jessie and James is full of shotguns, bandits, and heart-stopping romance. Don’t miss it!
