Jenna never disappoints, and she has come thru with a very exciting story one more time. Gwendolyn is society’s darling until her father dies and leaves her destitute. Since she knows about female Pinkerton agents from her friend, Nadine, she decides to try it for herself. Bradley has been with the Pinkerton Agency for five years, and is considered to be one of their best. He wants to continue on and maybe have an office of his own. He is very disgruntled when he is told he needs to partner with a female agent which would require that he marry her for a year. A very beautiful young lady, an adorable dog, a rattlesnake, and a gang of cattle rustlers make a very exiting story. 5 stars
Love this series about women wanting to be agents and are pair with their male counterparts. Excellent read. All the usual danger, hi jenks and HEA. [edit]
A very sweet and fun book to read. Very exciting book that had a great storyline.
I did receive an advanced copy of the book from the publisher and the review is mine voluntarily.
An Agent for Gwendolyn is a fun, quick read. I enjoy these books that pair a female and a male Pinkerton agent. These characters are well developed. There is suspicion, distrust between partners, intrigue and finally an HEA. This is a great escape when you have a free afternoon.
Another wonderful book in the Pinkerton Matchmaker Series. Gwendolyn is left penniless when her wealthy father passes away leaving her with a pile of debts so she does the only thing she can think of so she leaves Boston and becomes a Pinkerton Agent like her friend Nadine. She and Bradley will have to marry as he trains her and once their case of catching cattle thief’s is over they can get the marriage annulled. They are different as night and day but as they work they case they find out some surprising things about each other that they did not know which only drew them closer to each other. Loved this sweet romance with some twists and turns and Bradley and Gwendolyn were just perfect for each other.
From debutant to agent. Gwendolyn has always led a life of privilege until her father dies and she discovers that he’s gambled away his fortune and she’s left with nothing. She answers an add for a Pinkerton Agent and heads to her new life with her companion dog. I’ve read a number of these Pinkerton books by various authors and this was one of the most unusual. I enjoyed the book and recommend it for a fun quick read.
Love this series about women wanting to be agents and are pair with their male counterparts. Excellent read. All the usual danger, uncertainty and hi jenks. HEA.
Loved getting to read Gwendolyn and Bradley’s story. I was able to read this in one sitting. If you like clean stories with intrigue in the mix, I highly recommend ‘An Agent for Gwendolyn ‘. I received this book from the publisher. The thoughts and comments are my own.
So happy to read another Pinkerton Matchmaker story and with the fabulous Jenna Brandt’s writing I knew it would be wonderful!! This time we have Gwendolyn whose life changed quickly when her wealthy father passed away. She finds herself destitute, oh yes after being the center of high society in Boston.
Luckily as she was packing what little she had, she came across a letter from Nadine, a friend from school who had become a Pinkerton agent out west and how her life was an adventure. Why not? She had little choices to take! So taking her beloved cocker spaniel Reginald, she set out.
Bradley Holmes was not happy to have to take on a new recruit and marry her to boot. The Pinkerton’s had been operating this way for awhile and now it was his turn. To move forward, he agree to do it.
Such fun fast paced story that did not stop until the end! Gwendolyn is determined and Bradley is in for a lot of surprises! Danger, thiefs, humor, a feisty dog and a journey to finding love when least expected!
A captivating tale that has twists and turns. I love how the Author brings out the story and how well the world building and Character building is. I love these kind of stories that really keep you wanting to now what goes on next with this real page Turner. I definitely recommend.

Each one of these Pinkerton books is a delight to read! It’s so fun to see the two agents paired up in a marriage of convenience that turns into so much more. The “rules” of the Pinkerton Agency stated that a male agent and a female agent had to enter into a marriage as they worked on a case for the sake of propriety and then it would be annulled afterwards. Usually when the couple first meet, they don’t have even like each other and it’s always interesting to see how the “tables are turned”! The hero is usually the seasoned agent and really resents having to work with the female, doesn’t see a need to now have female agents but they quickly come to see that they have gifts that the males don’t have. Such is the case in this story. Gwendolyn was a very wealthy lady from the East coast but when her father dies, she is destitute so she signs up to be a Pinkerton agent and is paired with Bradley in Texas who chafes at the idea of a partner. They have to find some cattle rustlers and go undercover to find them as a married couple. There is danger and action and it’s fun to see the two of them adjusting to being together! I really enjoyed this book!
This is the first book in the Pinkerton Agent Series that I have read and I thought it was pretty entertaining. I have always thought the Pinkerton Agency was an interesting thing so it was neat to read about what it would have been like for a women who was recruited. I loved the romance between Gwendolyn and Bradley. I loved how they couldn’t stand each other at first but as they came to know each other they realized that they were a good match. I also loved the exciting adventure that they had to go on to bring in the cattle rustlers. I thought it was a fun book and I am curious to read other books in this series.
I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors. A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.
In this case I would have to side with Bradley when he first met Gwendolyn, she had no skills to be a Pinkerton agent. I do admire her feisty attitude and as it turns out her observation skills. She does have a tendency to get into trouble, usually through no true fault of her own. Jenna Brandt brings some interesting characters to this book and the villain did not turn out to be the person I first suspected. Luckily for Gwendolyn, Bradley’s ambition refuses to let him give anything but his best in training her. A totally enjoyable book.
ONE WILD WHIRLWIND ROUND UP!!!

A raging vortex of fervent events and surprising circumstances, catapults those churning emotions into play, hooking you from the start. Anarchy, escapades and havoc run amuck, kicking this bad boy into a raging tempest, blasting it into a frenzy with a mind-blowing culmination. Navigating the trials and tribulations, noting the shocking twists and wicked turns, testing our characters in ways they could have never envisioned. The characters are complex and authentic with depth and traits that blend and flow, transforming into genuine approachable personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and depictions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Remarkable job Jenna, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.
I enjoyed reading this book! Two Pinkerton agents are trying to catch some rustlers! I recommend this book to anyone who likes romance!
“His Pinkerton wife”
It is bad enough he has to train a female oh no she is a spoiled socialite and he has to marry her. This is what Bradley Holmes’s reality now is. Becoming an agent was a matter of survival for Gwendolyn Whitley. This quick story has a great deal of action and danger so be prepared you will get completely lost in the book. I enjoyed the book a great deal I think Jenna Brandt has a winner on her hands. I highly recommend this gem. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
I enjoyed these characters so much. Gwendolyn and Bradley were so different. Gwendolyn a now impoverished debutante and Bradley a no nonsense Pinkerton agent marry for agency propriety in order to work together. They will come to find they are not so compatible and Gwendolyn surprises Bradley as he trains her to be an agent. But danger abounds that can disrupt their growing love. Review of complimentary copy.
Another wonderful Pinkerton story. I love that they are accepting women as agents. The fact that they have to marry their instructor is a dilemma if they don’t get along but luckily for Gwen & Bradley, they do, after a while. There is romance, danger, humor, and some good ole cattle rustling. What more could you ask for?
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Cute story.
Both the main leads are stubborn and bring out the snippy in each other, until they calm down and actually communicate. The suspense is minor since it’s not the focus of the story. There is a pleasing HEA.
This book is full of adventure, suspense, drama and romance. It hooks you on the first page and doesn’t let go. Come meet Gwendolyn, and Bradley and get ready for an adventure when they go after a gang of cattle rustlers. I received an ARC copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
