About the book:

In a case that could change her career, Miranda uncovers a love that will change her life.

When Miranda Hunt sees the classified ad for an heiress to the legendary Last Chance Ranch, she knows assuming the identity of Annie Beckman is the perfect cover. As one of the finest agents for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Miranda has been tasked with apprehending the Phantom—an elusive and notorious train robber thought to be hiding on the sprawling ranch.

But she isn’t the only one at the ranch with something to hide. Wells Fargo detective Jeremy Taggart is working undercover as well. Their true identities may be a secret, but it is impossible for Jeremy and Miranda to hide the sparks flaring between them.

Neither is about to let romance interfere with such a huge case. Besides, Miranda hasn’t removed Jeremy from her list of suspects yet. The closer they get to uncovering the identity of the Phantom, the more dangerous he gets—and no one on the ranch is safe.

The longer Miranda and Jeremy spend working together, the harder it becomes to keep their feelings in check. Their careers—and their lives—depend on solving this case. Love will just have to wait.

My thoughts:

With a title like Gunpowder Tea you can only imagine how this book would go. I really enjoyed the playful back and forth between the characters. It’s a page turner for sure, you’ll be guessing from the start to the finish. The book reminds me of those detective books I used to read as a child. I love a good mystery and this one has all the makings of a great mystery novel and romance book as well. This book is part of a series and it does well as a stand alone but I can assure you that you’ll want to grab the previous books and enjoy them as well. I just fell in love with the character Miranda and I loved how the author portrayed her in this book. She is strong, independent, funny but she still has that tender side. It’s a great read and if you are a historical romance fan then it’s a must add to your list.
