A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Undercover Bride (Undercover Ladies #2) - Margaret Brownley

After reading the first book in this series, Petticoat Detective, I was pleased to have the chance to read this book.

Maggie is an undercover operative for the Pinkerton Detective Agency.  Her goal is to gather evidence against Garrett Thomas, proving that he was part of a deadly train robbery.  Her cover is that she’s Garrett’s mail-order bride.  They’ve been writing letters to each other, and now she’s going to have the chance to put the man away.

Unfortunately, everything she’s written has been a lie.  From her fabricated family to her desire to marry him and take care of his children, she’s in deep.  The more she gets to know Garrett, the harder it is for her to believe that he is capable of what she’s trying to prove.  Her heart is getting involved and that’s dangerous for an operative.

I did enjoy this book.  It was a light, and the kids and aunt were adorable.  There’s a bit of an imbalance with getting to know the characters, and I felt like I barely knew Garrett at the end.  Most of the book is told from Maggie’s point of view, and there’s much less from Garrett.  You can read these out of order with no problems.  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
