The Pinkerton Matchmaker #3
An Agent for Regina
Regina Caulfield was unhappy with the choices facing her in her life and with her step-mother’s overbearing attitude. She dreamed of adventures and finding a job in law enforcement unheard of for a lady in 1871.
Luke Tucker was a seasoned Pinkerton agent and a ladies’ man. He loved his job as an agent and the freedom of working cases alone.
When Regina saw an editorial about the Denver offices of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency hiring women, she decided it was fate.
Neither Regina or Luke were ready for the new rule: newly hired female agents must marry an agent for their first case assignment.
Could an independent female agent and a protective male agent find love or will their marriage of convenience end in disaster?
This is the third book in the Pinkerton matchmaker series. The first two books, An Agent for Lucy and An Agent for Wilhelmina are available now.

Regina and Luke
Regina is the wealthy daughter of a loving father and a wicked step-mother. Rather than stay and marry a man of her step-mother 's choosing, she uses the money left to get by her grandparents and heads to Denver to apply to become a Pinkerton detective.
Luke was raised in an orphanage where he learned how to play poker. He then worked as a professional gambler until he got shot. He changed the direction of his life and became a Pinkerton detective.
One drawback to working together as Pinkertons is while being trained as agents, young women and their partners has to be married. However, after the case was over the marriage could be annulled.
Luke and Regina are sent to solve the case of a kidnapped teacher and the printing of illicit books. When they arrive at their destination they come to realize that the two cases might be related.
I give the story a five but the editing a three. There were way too many punctuation errors, some grammatical errors, and in one chapter a character was identified with a different name.

Storyline was good, but major sentence structure problems
I like the Pinkerton story seried. The two other books I have read were well edited and enjoyable. The plots have all been very good. However, this book by this author had many sentence structure problems that made the sentences awkward and hard to understand. I am not very good at writing and almost all minor grammar and sentence structure errors don't bother me. I am an easy going, noncritical reader. I do not read to find mistakes. They have to hit me in the head. But these errors were quite blatant. They were not small errors and interfered with my ability to understand parts of the story. Please find better beta readers and editors. Your success as a writer depends on it. Your story would have rated 4 or 5 stars. This is the first story I have read by you. I will read another and hope this was a one time problem.

I loved reading about Regina, although these two decided to live seperatly, they couldn't keep apart while doing their job and a strong connection formed between them.
I love how the books in this series are light and fast reads.
You get to enjoy a clean romance topped with action, suspence and detective work.
If you're starting with this series, I highly suggest you read the 0,5 book first. It tells you basically how it all started, so you get a better understanding of the whole deal and you get to meet the first characters in the series.
I've read quite a few books in the series and I believe each book can be read as a stand alone don't forget the 0,5 book first) and I also believe they don't need to be read in order (I'm skipping a few and then I go back and forth, depending on what my mood want's to read and who I would like to meet).

Book three in the Pinkerton Matchmaker series, as good as the first two I read. Regina, who wants to find a purpose for her life and Luke are paired together. They need to find a bad guy and bring him in and find that a school teacher who has been kidnapped is also a part of their job now, since their bad guy is the culprit. She has to play the piano and sing in a saloon and Luke is going to gamble where this guy works. Although married, they don't act the married couple but just a couple. Of course romance happens, and love happens as they close in on the bad buy and find the gal.
This is a clean read.

An Agent for Regina is filled with images of what life was like in the 1800’s especially relating to women and women’s roles. Marianne Spitzer’s characters are well developed and relatable. I loved how she made a match between an independent woman and a protective man. Regina and Luke’s relationship going from just tolerating each other to a marriage of love while solving a case was a joy to watch! I was thrilled that they got their HEA ! An Agent for Regina is a well written book that I highly recommend!

"A Great Enjoyable Story"
It's 1871 and Regina Caulfield is unhappy with her life and pressures of her stepmother. When she sees an editorial about the Pinkerton National Detective Agency hiring women, she decides that's the job she wants. But the agency has a new rule: newly hired women must marry an agent for their first assigned case. Really? Sounds fascinating! This story is well written and has lots of historical facts from the late 1800's. It's heartwarming, exciting, and suspenseful. I love the stories of Marianne Spitzer. I really enjoyed this one!

Another fantastic addition to this fun series.
I loved this Pinkerton Matchmaker story a lot. The heroine is a really good agent and matched with a really good agent husband. This case was fun, their rolls they had to assume, while on the case, were perfect and fun, and the entire plot was really good. This series has been very satisfactory and I haven't read a book yet that I didn't love everything about.
I highly recommend this story, book 3 in this series and the first two as well. I have read others further ahead in the series and all are great stories.

Book 3 of The Pinkerton Matchmaker series follows Reggie, a new female agent in training, and her partner Luke, a seasoned Pinkerton agent. Forced into a marriage of convenience to protect Reggie’s reputation, the two are tasked with investigating a missing schoolteacher and an illicit book operation. The mystery adds solid intrigue, but the highlight is the partnership between Reggie and Luke. Reggie’s determination to prove herself and Luke’s steady support create a balanced, engaging dynamic with just the right amount of slow-burn tension.

Reggie and Luke
This was a short well Wittgenstein about a young nieve , very intelligent young lady that desires to be in lawenforcement. A job that is not likely to be held by a female. Like is an experienced young Pinkerton agent. They are partnered after Reggie is accepted as a new agent. You will love this tale of chasing after the bad guys and rescuing the young abduced school teacher. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the next in the Pinkerton series.

Oh Regina is so serious about this. She is intelligent and funny and clever. And Luke is tough and opinionated. They are so not happy about getting married. But it worked well to their advantage on the case. They both became interesting undercover agents. And how they fell in love was fun and sweet. I am really liking how each women brings special talents and abilities to their new jobs. I really like the dog in this story. Looking forward to book 4.

A missing teacher and the Comstock law
Book 3 in the Pinkerton Matchmaker series continues with Regina and Luke. They are sent to Wyoming Territory to find a missing school teacher and check into the source of lewd books hitting the East Coast market. How could those two cases have anything in common?
This is a new-to-me author.

Enjoyable content
I truly enjoy the series, the premise of the Female PinkertoN Agents and the characters. What I find hard to enjoy is the fact that the author doesn't k ow how to, or refuses, to properly use commas. So, it is only 4 stars for this book

This is a quick sweet read. The plot is interesting. I could wish for more character development but that is not possible with such a short story. Thank you for a lovely read.

Loving these Pinkerton Matchmaker books. Well written and engaging from the beginning. This one has a very educated woman who also has a lot of good common sense. Will she make a good detective? A must read for good time period information. Highly recommend.

Bad man kidnapped a teacher to write lewd stories
They were hired to find the teacher but to have the job they had to marry. Liked how they both were portrayed as being very smart and how they fell in love.

A great book. I thought it was great to give the saloon girls a background and help them better themselves. Being kind to others is so important. I love the story between Luke and Reggie. I am so glad they got together. I love a happy ending.

Good
Another good story in the series. I especially like how each lady agent brings special talents to the case. They are shortish stories, but long enough to be satisfying.
