Goodreads Summary
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 there with something to hide. Wells Fargo detective Jeremy Taggert is working the scene undercover as well. And although their true identities are a secret, it is impossible for Jeremy and Miranda to hide the spark that flares between them. But 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 come to uncovering the identity of the Phantom, the more dangerous he gets – and no one on the ranch is safe.
But neither are their hearts – the longer Miranda and Jeremy spends working together, the harder it becomes to keep their feelings in check. Their careers – and their lives – depend on solving this case. Love will have to wait.
My Thoughts
This was on my "To Be Read" list for a while, and when I got a copy I was really excited.
For some reason I got the idea in my head that I had to read this book.
I think it had a lot to do with the cover. Covers can tell so much and sometimes nothing at all. I absolutely love covers that give a glimpse into the story while giving almost nothing away. It's so much fun to read and find out! Seriously, just take a gander at this fantastic cover. There is a man giving a sideways glance to the woman who is serving him tea. Oh, and that same woman is holding a gun behind her back with a smile on her face. Slap on top of that a title such as "GUNPOWDER TEA" and the only thought going through my head is, "I have to read this book and find what is going on! ASAP!"
I was not disappointed to say the least. Actually I was pleasantly surprised by almost every little thing. Trust me by the time you get halfway through this book you will understand the title. (Unless of course you are well associated with tea and its history.) On the other hand you will most likely be surprised as was I.
Gunpowder Tea's heroine Miranda was a strong lead that I really liked. She was out in the world accomplishing what she loved and she was actually good at it too. I loved her softer side and her special quirks. Also, her relationship that bloomed with Jeremy was at times hilarious and precious.
FYI: This book can be read as a stand alone! Yay!
Brownley has crafted a truly enjoyable read from beginning to end with a mixture of mystery, romance, and women powerfully wielding guns! What more can a reader ask for? You'll be on pins and needles wondering who and how close the mysterious Phantom is to the legendary Last Chance Ranch.
A must read and addition to your ever growing "To Be Read" list!
