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!
