Miranda Hunt is asked to take on a case that could make or break her career. She is to go undercover at Last Chance Ranch to uncover the identity of a notorious train and bank robber. As her investigation gets deeper, the job gets more and more dangerous, as well as uncertain. To make matters worse, she feels a strong attraction to another newcomer at the ranch. Her job and her success depend on her ability to resist his charm, something she wishes she had the proper training for!
Gunpowder Tea is a mystery novel with romance sprinkled in.
Feelings and attraction play a large role, but I did enjoy the fact that the
book doesn’t focus on it too much. The plot was pretty solid on its own without
the romance, which made it all the more enjoyable. I read it pretty quickly, as
it was hard to put down. The author was also able to include God and faith without
it looking like it was just thrown in there to make it “Christian Fiction”.
Overall I quite enjoyed the book! It was romantic yet clean,
and kept me guessing the whole time. The writing style was enjoyable as well.
The author has good command of the English language and didn’t overuse certain
words or literary methods (as I have seen some authors of fiction do). As a
lover of classic books with rich vocabulary and descriptions, I found Gunpowder
Tea to be easy to read and yet not boring or repetitive.
On a side note, this book is the third (and final) of a
series, but it stands well on its own. I did not read the other two books, but
from what I could tell they all had to do with the ranch but involved different
people and completely different storylines. It was a good read and if you are
looking for a new book to read I recommend it!
