Nadine Bradford’s brother has turned her out, claiming he can’t afford to take care of the bookworm spinster a moment longer now that he’s married and has a family of his own. With nothing left to lose, Nadine applies to become a Pinkerton Agent. The only problem, they expect her to marry a man to work her first case. Josiah Bell is a seasoned agent, and he’s avoided the preposterous marriages … marriages that have been thrust on his fellow agents lately. He’s not the marrying sort, and has even less patience to have to put up with a needy woman, even if it is for a case. But when his brother is killed and the only way to solve the crime is by accepting Nadine as his wife, Josiah gives in to find vengeance.
What happens when they both realize that their relationship could be more than just a short-lived partnership? Will they decide a real marriage is worth the risk? And will Josiah be able to avenge his brother’s murder in time to keep it from happening to anyone else?

These Pinkerton Matchmaker books are short, clean, fun books. An Agent for Nadine is a favorite one for me. These characters just clicked for me. Nadine and Josiah want to apprehend the Wilkens gang and Avenge Amos’ murder. Much to his surprise, Josiah finds out Nadine is a capable agent. Will they solve the case? Will Josiah avenge Amos’ killing? Will Nadine be widowed a second time? There are many questions to be answered in this captivating book.
She needs a job! And the Pinkerton’s are hiring women! YEAH. So she goes and gets the job – on one condition. She has to be married – to an agent!! UGH. But she REALLY needs a job . . . .
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and comments are my own.
Nadine was forced to leave her home and decided she would be a Pinkerton Agent, she would love to be independent. Josiah loved to be a Pinkerton Agent but now he has to solve a hard case, the killing of his brother. Be forced to work this case together isn’t what either of them want, but it has to be done. Maybe the admiring of each other’s personalities and skills will help them grow closer, or will this be the first annulment?
Entertaining story, likable characters. Really enjoyable.
I just love the Pinkerton series! Can you imagine being a woman and having that opportunity?
A woman who had little choices after her parents died and her brother turned her out after he married, Nadine, goes and applies to be a Pinkerton. Matched with an agent, who she of course was required to marry, all does not go well and he is murdered. Now needing another agent to be paired with she ends up with Josiah, he prior agent husband’s brother! Now they are out to find the killers and the journey begins!!! Loved this story by one of my favorite authors!!
Not one but two husband?
Nadine and Josiah story was really interesting. Nadine wants to be a Pinkerton agent but she must marry to work a case. Josiah would prefer to stay single but needs to marry so he can work the case and find the killer of his friend. What neither of them expected was that this marriage could lead to a real union for them both. This book was a real pleasure to read great characters, wonderful action, and highly entertaining. This is one of Jenna Brandt books you will love reading over and over again. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Jenna Brandt has given us a story that has not only romance and danger but the message that we need to forgive those who wrong us. As is usually the case in the Pinkerton Matchmaker series Nadine and Josiah were not happy to be married but Josiah did work to be sure she was trained. I enjoyed their interactions especially as coworkers in the saloon. This is a good story.
A great Detective read that had me on the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns. This is a real page turner and will take you on a roller coaster ride. The Author has done a fantastic job at the world building and creating the characters. This is definitely a page turner.

I am really enjoying these female Pinkerton detective agent stories! Although they are fiction, there really were female Pinkerton agents and they are fascinating to learn what type of cases they worked! I love reading about the type of women that became agents, even if the ones in these books are fiction! Nadine, at first, isn’t a strong women. She depends on her brother to take care of her because her parents have died and in those days, women just depended on men to take care of them! However, when her brother marries, the wife doesn’t want Nadine around and she gets put out of the house. She doesn’t know where to go and hears about Pinkerton agents so decides to become one! She learns how strong she really is! I loved the learning process she went through and then when she had to marry the brother of her first partner who died, that was funny! Josiah didn’t want to be married, period! Especially to the woman that let down his brother and let him get killed! However, as they work together to find out who killed his brother, he just might change his mind about Nadine! Such a fun book!
Such a fun book with wonderful characters. This plot is really well written and there is so much to like about it. Reminds me of a western movie playing out between the pages. Great romance, action and a beautiful ending!
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
Nadine wants to be a Pinkerton Agent badly. She has no other way to survive once her brother and his new wife threw her out. Disaster strikes when she least expects it. Her new husband is murdered…
Josiah is summoned in to the Denver office immediately after finishing a case and is confused by this. There he is informed of his brothers death and introduced to a sister in law he wasn’t aware he had. His Brothers widow. On top of that he is told they must marry and move on to solve the murder of his brother and bring down the gang responsible!
Both carry hurt and anger from their pasts into this new “relationship”. Can this even work between them? How can he marry his brothers widow so soon after the death? Will he be able to work with a partner? Can they trust each other to get it done and done right?
Personalities clash, stubborn attitudes and trust must all come together to teach them they can move on and move towards each other. Drama, danger and a great adventure await you in this book! I loved every minute of it!
I received an ARC of this book and am choosing to leave an honest review.
Pinkerton agent Josiah and Nadine have to get married to search for Josiah’s Pinkerton brother’s killer. I loved this book, author and series. I highly recommend this book, author and series. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

5 Golden Stars!
This is a book filled to the brim with the solving of a murder by two Agents of the Pinkerton Agency, Nadine and Josiah. In order to work together they have to get married.
The story is really well put together. It is refreshing and an easy and interesting read which I found totally entertaining.
What I loved the most was when each of them suddenly realized that they had romantic feelings for the other.
I so enjoyed this story and would welcome more in this vein from Jenna Brandt because she writes it so well!
I read an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and this is my voluntary and unbiased review of it.
