Life for eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Stone was going smoothly until her mother died and the man she’s been in love with for years suddenly disappeared. Now he’s back in town, but only for a short visit, and he still thinks of her as a kid sister. What will it take to make him notice her as a woman?

Tainted by his undercover work, Pinkerton agent Stephen Randall wants what is best for his childhood friend—and it isn’t him. Brushing off Beth’s advances seems like the best plan. That is, until she is mistaken for a female outlaw wanted for robbery and murder. Now they must work together to find her nemesis and clear her name, and the only way to do that is for Beth to become a Pinkerton agent herself—and marry Stephen.

But with the case—and their attraction—heating up, will Stephen realize his love for her in time to save her?

An Agent for Elizabeth is the seventh book in The Pinkerton Matchmaker series. Be sure to grab your copy and then look for the next exciting installment in the series!

My Review: 4 Stars

People sure grew up a lot faster in the past than they do nowadays. Being a Pinkerton agent sounds so dashing, adventurous, and dangerous! And I don't think many young people could do what these people did back then. I loved the premise of these Pinkerton agents taking wives to work on cases. In this instance, Stephen and Elizabeth know each other from the past and the way Beth plunks herself right into Stephen's life again, with spunk and sass, is adorable.

Being an agent is tough, as Beth soon discovers when they embark on an adventure. While hot on the trail after outlaw Callie Delleman, danger and mystery arises and those perils only serve to bring these two closer together.

A surprising twist gives the reader a surprise, but the bond that emerges is worth the risk. This is an enjoyable tale and has a little bit of everything--mystery, danger, and love.

Content: mild romance (some vague innuendo, kissing); mild violence
