First, I picked up this book because its cover was so similar to another book that I'd just read (No Other Man, by Shannon Drake...a trilogy).
Then, when I started reading Josh, I wanted to strangle Emily's father for being such a controling jerk...I had to remind myself a few times that wealthy parents often did this back then...force daughters to marry men not of their choosing. And I loved though, that Emily was willing to give up everything and work hard so that she did not have to marry someone she did not want. I did, however, get a little bored shortly after she got to whatever town it was that they were in (Las Vegas, New Mexico, was it?) and put the book down. But not for long...
About a month later, I picked it up again (due to my own lack of desire to write) and finished it in just one evening. I found that it was a delightful story; Leigh had me giggling all the way through. That Tarnation scene nearly had me PIMP. I just had to rush out and get Rose's story (Zach). Those MacKenzie boys are just too cute!
Now I'm going out to find some more!

Well, I was a little disappointed in this book. This is book #7 in this series & I have to say that it's my least favorite. The book is so slow. Basically you have Josh (Luke's son from book #1) who is a detective searching for Emily (a rich girl from Long Island) who has run away from home. He finds her & she escapes a few times & then she's kidnapped & he rescues her. There wasn't much more to it then that other then these really stupid dreams that she kept having over & over. It's o.k. but this is one book in this series that I think you could do without. But don't miss the very first 6:
Luke
Flint
Cleve
David
Peter
Jake

This MacKenzie installment is Josh MacKenzie, Luke and Honey MacKenzie's son, who had joined to Pinkerton Detective Agency to make a name for himself, and come into his full potential like his father and uncles have before him.
Pinkerton agent Josh MacKenzie always gets his man . . . but he's never been up against a woman like runaway heiress Emily Lawrence!
SHE WAS TROUBLE . . . AND TEMPTATION...
Emily had fled her wealthy home and the boring society men who courted her, looking for adventure in the wild West -- but the new-fledged Harvey Girl gets more than she bargained for when she meets Josh MacKenzie. At very first she thinks the tall, handsome Texan just may be the man of her dreams . . . until he snaps handcuffs on her wrists to take her home! Naturally, the beautiful spitfire fights Josh at every turn -- and as he manfully tries to resist her impossibly irresistible charms, Josh wonders which is in greater danger: his job . . . or his heart?

I loved the premise: Harvey Girl + Pinkerton Agent + New Mexico = Fun in the Sun. This book starts strongly. Ana Leigh can write.
But from the second third to the end, it meanders from location to location. Frankly, I kept reading only because I thought the writer would find her way again. Then I started paging through very quickly, especially during the outlaw action.
One more thing: I nominate the skinny dipping scene for the Most Gratuitous Sex Scene in a Romance Novel.

Great story about a wealthy rich girl (Emily) who is runs away from an dominating father who is trying to marry her off to obtain an heir. She runs away from home and gets a waitress job with the Harvey Girl's in the west. Her friend Rose helps her change her hair from blond to grey and adds thick glasses after a Pinkerton Detective named Josh MacKenzie hired by her father tracks her to New Mexico and starts asking questions. He has a difficult time trying to get Emily to admit who she is but finally the truth comes out and he slaps her in to handcuff's to take her back to her father. After a series of funny misadventures she gets them into, Josh gets shot and she nurses him back to health, admit their love for one another, marry, and go back to New York to confront her father. I did not realize this was a series so I am now reading the other three books called The MacKenzies; David, Peter, and Jake. Also, these books are from an older series of three books called "The Mackenzies: 1. Luke (Josh's father) his brothers, Flint and Cleve which I cannot find since the publishers are all out of stock. Hope they re-release them.
