ANNA FINCH AND THE HIRED GUN

When an aspiring reporter and a Pinkerton detective get tangled in Doc Holliday's story -- and each other -- sparks can't help but fly.

Despite her father's attempts to marry her off, Anna Finch dreams of becoming a reporter. A chance encounter with legendary gunslinger Doc Holliday gives her the opportunity of a lifetime, but Pinkerton agent Jeb Sanders is about to ruin everything.

Though her father hired Jeb to keep her out of mischief, Anna's inconvenient attraction to her hired gun only multiplies her troubles. She doesn't realize Jeb has a score to settle with Doc Holliday, or that her association with the famous outlaw will affect more than just her marriage prospects. Between her father's desperation to see her wed and Jeb shadowing her every move, getting the story and fulfilling her journalistic ambition just got far more complicated than she ever imagined.

I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING MORE ORIGINAL THAN 'DELIGHTFUL' BUT THAT SUMS UP THIS BOOK PERFECTLY. FUNNY, WITTY AND CLEVER, I HAD A SMILE ON MY FACE THE WHOLE TIME I WAS READING. ANNA FINCH AND THE HIRED GUN IS PURE ROMANTIC COMEDY, FULL OF ONE LINE ZINGERS, COMICAL SITUATIONS AND BRILLIANT DEADPAN HUMOUR -- EVEN IN THE FACE OF DANGER. THE ACTION SCENES ARE RIDDLED WITH DRY HUMOUR AS WELL. ROLLICKING, HYSTERICAL AND JUST PLAIN FUN TO READ.
