Caught by Surprise

Caught by Surprise

by
Jen Turano


MY THOUGHTS: Jen Turano is one of my favorite authors. Her books always make me laugh at the hysterical situations the characters find themselves immersed in. In Caught by Surprise I noticed what a gift Jen has for creating fast paced and totally engaging conversation. I could hear the characters bantering back and forth with lots of emotional involvement -- sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, always intriguing. This book is full of lots of unexpected situations, suspense, and amazing surprises.

Although this is the final book in the Apart From the Crowd series, you don't need to read the other books before you read this one (however I bet you'll want to read them afterwards because you'll be dying to know more about the other characters). Every single one of Jen's books has been a delightful way to escape from the worries of the world and giggle at the antics of the characters.

I'm going to miss these characters -- they become friends!


ABOUT THE BOOK:

Miss Temperance Flowerdew is on her way to work when a stranger suddenly grabs her off the street and sends her on a Chicago-bound train before she can figure out what happened. 

When Mr. Gilbert Cavendish is called upon to rescue a missing woman, he follows the trail to Chicago only to discover that the woman is his good friend Temperance. Before they can discover who was behind the abduction, they’re seen alone together by a New York society matron, putting their reputations at risk.

Gilbert is willing to propose marriage–except Temperance will have none of it. She’s finally stepped out of the shadow of her relations and won’t give up her independence. But when it becomes clear the misunderstanding in Chicago has escalated into a threat on her life and followed her to New York, accepting Gilbert’s help in solving the mystery may lead to more than she ever could have dreamed.
