Clenna wants to be a Pinkerton Agent but when she arrives in Denver she’s unsure she will be accepted. When she needs to get married to her instructing agent she is even more unsure. When the case is close to her heart she accepts but her agent Ben needs to stay away, and she doesn’t need his help. What good will come from that?
I enjoyed this story, Clenna is a little too independent but Ben is such a nice man he’s going with it. Would have loved to see some of her experience she learned from her father in this story.

I was disappointed that Clenna had experience working with steam engines, but she never used any of that knowledge on the case. It seems like she really didn’t need any skills and was too passionate and high strung to be a Pinkerton Agent. She only agreed to join and to the temporary marriage in name only stipulation because her brother and cousin were the accused. Ben was against marriage, but he was awfully quick to change his mind after spending time with Clenna.

I enjoyed this book but I would have liked for Clenna's experience with her dad on the railroad to have been used. Other than being related to the wrongly accused criminals, she really didn't play a part in the case. One of the things I enjoy about the Pinkerton Matchmaker series is the strong women characters. It was good to see her turn around in regards to her attitude about men. Ben was very patient. I do recommend this book.

Nothing is as it seems...
...but Clenna is determined that nothing will stand in her way when it comes to saving family, mysteries don't phase her but it appears many have made their judgement and time is running out. Fortunately Ben see's the shadows and those who slither there, he teaches Clenna patience, to listen to what is left unsaid and to never let your guard down!
A sweet historical romance that opens both Clenna and Ben's eyes and hearts, I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Great characters! I enjoyed Clenna, she had a great personality and cared deeply for her family. The plot was great and kept me pulled into the story wanting to know what happened. I wish the romance would have been more entwined into the story. I felt like it was separate from the story and was just a quick bit about it in the end. I still enjoyed the story and how it ended.

The story of a spunky young woman who wants to rescue her brother and cousin from a bit of trouble they got into. Is there way to rescue her brother without a marriage On paper? Can she trust the agent who supposed to help her? It is easy to relate to the characters in this story. I saw myself constantly worrying in the story.

This is a well written book that holds your attention from beginning until the end. It has action, suspense, romance and is a very enjoyable read. I received a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own

The best part of this story was after they solved the caper! Not that I didn't enjoy the whole story, because I definitely did! The beginning seemed awfully familiar, because An Agent for Josie was the first story. Clenna and Josie were roommates and applied to be Pinkerton agents together.

Family Love
It’s sad that prejudice ism against each other is so great even in today’s generation that’s how the enemy keeps us separated as Christians. We need to love one another no matter what nationality we are.

The pacing of this book was off. Honestly it was so fast it just wasn’t believable. I liked the characters themselves and the premise but it was simply to rushed.

Clenna has finally decided to accept marriage to an experienced agent during her first case. Ben was a Union sharpshooter and has so far avoided marrying a new recruit. But all that's about to change...
Clenna's brother and cousin have gone off to work for the railroad but soon send word that they've been arrested for train robbery and want Clenna to prove their innocence.
The story was pretty good but I found that it took a long time for the story to get going. We'd previously met Clenna in Josie's story but she was distraught at learning she'd have to get married in order to become an agent. I just got bored with having to re-read the set up to this book, when Josie's book was only 3 before this one so it was still fresh in my mind. Then the mystery didn't seem as in-depth as I would have preferred and the romance felt a bit rushed too. But it was clean with a sweet ending and worth a read.
