Hott Synopsis:

Miranda Hunt only cares about one thing – proving to her father that she can be a Pinkerton Agent – it doesn’t seem to matter that he’s been dead for three years.

So when a job comes around that she’s uniquely qualified to handle she accepts without a moment’s hesitation. All she has to do is to learn how to run a ranch from an amazing female rancher and promise never to get married… at least until the job is finished.

Soon, she’s have everything she’s ever wanted – but is it what she’ll always want?

Hott Review:

This book ran hot and cold for me. For a while I just wanted to put it down but overall I really enjoyed it. It was funny in a cute way. It was romantic. Sometimes I’d stop enjoying it for a page or two but then it’d turn out well and I’d get back into the story.
I didn’t read the other two stories in the series but had absolutely no problem picking this one up and following along.

      Don’t get me wrong. It was good. There were just times that it felt tedious. BUT – you like your reads to be more mellow than I do so it’s probably a perfect fit for you!
