I loved this role reversal! In this particular story, Alexina is the training agent. And for a change I Iiked this town’s sheriff!
“Mark my words. I will never, ever, kiss you.”
Famous last words I tell you.
Alexina has never been a part of anything, she has no idea what love actually is, the concept of family is fleeting. She is a Pinkerton agent, that is what she knows and that is who she is. Dawson has always wanted to become a Pinkerton agent. He comes from a big family, knows all about love and compassion, and is determined to live out his dream. These two have some great banter between them made even better by the fact that they have to pose as brother and sister(even though they are married) taking over as teachers in the small town where the previous two female teachers have gone missing. Dawson trying to be a protective brother but coming off as a jealous lover is definitely a fun read. I definitely recommend this one to anyone who has enjoyed any of the other Pinkerton match making series.
After a bad experience Alexina is forced to take it a bit easy. As a Pinkerton agents she’s transferred to the Denver office. She needs to train a new agent. Dawson wants to be a Pinkerton agent and his trainer is a woman. The very serious Alexina and the playful Dawson, will that ever be a good combination. Can they find the abductors of the school teachers during their undercover case?
I really enjoyed it, it’s the first time that the female character needs to train the male character and this makes for a somewhat other interaction as the other books in this series. I recommend this whole series.
“I, most assuredly, will not stay married to a man I just met.”
The term famous last words certainly comes to mind, especially if you have read any other book in this series.
For me, Alexina, was a refreshing change. She was training him. It was nice to see the female agent having all the experience and showing Dawson a thing or two. This was a quick read and it had all of Laura Beers’ bold characters, all of which I adore. I picked it up and couldn’t put it down. The role change was a delightful twist that I wasn’t expecting and would love to see again. No withering flowers here.
I love this series because you get a romance and a crime to solve along with female agents. This one may just be my favorite because they are both so headstrong and drive each other crazy. It’s clear pretty fast that they are meant for each other. I figured out who was behind the kidnappings but wasn’t expecting how crazy they were. I loved everything about the rescue and how it brought them together even when it caused a slight misunderstanding.
Alexina keeps to herself and prefers to work alone, but Dawson easily flips her world upside down. I loved her from the start with stubborn she was. She had no problem telling men what she thought about them and is always serious.
Dawson is adorably cocky and annoying, but that’s what makes you love him so much. He has such a different back story than Alexina, but he is fascinated by the woman she is. I was holding my breath because of him during the fried apple scene. He will make you laugh with some of the things he does.

I really enjoyed this book! Alexina was a great character, she could be tough as nails. Dawson was fun and I loved how he teased Alexina. The plot was great, kept me laughing and pulled into the book. I really hated for this book to end.
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
This was such a fun Pinkerton story! I really enjoyed the chemistry between the characters as well as their banter and vulnerability with each other. Such a cute, sweet, clean love story with a great ending.
