Book Review By Rachael High
Mackenzie's Magic by Linda Howard

Maris Mackenzie is a horse trainer in Kentucky. When she wakes up half naked in a hotel room with a drifter she hired, she doesn't remember anything and is afraid she slept with him. She later realizes he is actually an undercover FBI agent and she is with him because she was hurt trying to save a horse.

Mac, as Alex MacNeil is called, has been investigating a fraud ring where horses are killed for insurance money. With Maris's help, they bring the culprits out in the open and arrest them.

Maris and Alex go to Los Vegas the next day and get married. Maris becomes pregnant, and because they never had a formal wedding, they have a formal ceremony on Christmas with all the family there.
