“Pinkerton detective Jennifer Layne has a past full of identities...
But posing as a lady companion named Amy at
Miss Lillian’s Parlor House and Boots is a first for her. Amy’s current
assignment has her on the trail of the notorious Gunnysack Bandit, when one of
Miss Lillian’s girls—Amy’s best hope for a lead—meets an untimely demise.
Former Texas Ranger Tom Colton has every
reason to distrust the green-eyed beauty at Miss Lillian’s who calls herself
Amy. Determined to clear his brother’s name, he’s convinced she knows more than
she lets on, and he means to find out what it is.
As Amy’s investigation continues, her biggest
problem is Tom and his stolen kiss. The closer she gets to tracking down the
outlaw, the harder it is to keep Tom from finding out the awful truth about his
brother. The Gunnysack Bandit she can handle, but it’ll take a whole lot of
faith and a little help from Miss Lillian and her girls to snag the man who
stole her heart.”

My
personal Rating-
I’ve always been fascinated by the
history of the Pinkerton Agency. Needless to say, I was very excited to read
this book! Sadly, it wasn’t as good as I was hoping—only because of the brothel
& hints. While the ending was great and made it a lot better, you just have
to get there. But, all that said, I plan on reading the rest of the series when
they come out. :)
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
