Synopsis

Rather Than Wait for a Hero, She Decided to Create One

Betsy Huckabee has big-city dreams, but nobody outside of tiny Pine Gap, Missouri, seems interested in the articles she writes for her uncle's newspaper. Her hopes for independence may be crushed, until the best idea she's ever had comes riding into town.

Deputy Joel Puckett didn't want to leave Texas, but unfair circumstances have made moving to Pine Gap his only shot at keeping a badge. Worse, this small town has big problems, and masked marauders have become too comfortable taking
justice into their own hands. He needs to make clear that he's the law in this town—and that job is made more difficult with a nosy reporter who seems to follow him everywhere he goes.

The hero Betsy creates to be the star in a serial for the ladies' pages is based on the dashing deputy, but he's definitely fictional. And since the pieces run only in newspapers far away, no one will ever know. But the more time she spends with
Deputy Puckett, the more she appreciates the real hero—and the more she realizes what her ambition could cost him.

The romance was spot on but I'm telling you, if a man ever tied me to a tree, he had better hope I never get loose, or else he better never plan on being in my presence again. Just saying.......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on February 23, 2022

I love the stories of Regina Jennings for the vibrant characters, sweet romance, and depth of emotion. For the Record adds in a hefty dose of humor to the mix with mishaps, pranks, some underhanded dealings, and best of all, Betsy's dramatized stories written as fiction inspired by Joel. Betsy is a......more
