Shannon
Tate’s world is perfect: wonderful parents, great boyfriend ready to propose,
and her own company that is fantastic.
As anyone knows, when things feel perfect or seem perfect, the hairs on
the back of your neck should be standing on end, because something bad is going
to happen. And, for Shannon it
does. It turns out that her boyfriend is
embezzling money from her father and several of her clients. Then, he tries to kill her while
proposing. When the FBI become involved,
she encounters yet another twist: the agent assigned to protect her must dress
like a woman in order to stay close to her, then things get really crazy.
Essentially
a cute little book with fairly well crafted characters and a solid plot, Agent in Old Lace lives up to its homey
title. There is just enough suspense,
just enough romance, just enough humor to keep you interested. Descriptions of characters, particularly the
FBI agent all “woman-upped” could have been hilarious, but were just
funny. The big kiss doesn’t come until
three quarters of the way in, but the sexual tension is mild. A good book centered on a clever plot. I enjoyed this simple read.
Falling into
the mystery-romance genre, Pinkston’s novel has a little something for everyone. It is LDS fiction so it has some religious
references, mostly to prayer and “callings” in the Mormon Church and not enough
to feel preachy or heavy handed. Overall
a satisfying read.
