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.

My Review
5 STARS!!!
One of the things I have enjoyed most about Caught by Surprise is the fact that
Temperance and Gilbert have been friends since childhood. Sharing a mutual
respect and admiration for one another that is evident in their words and
actions, their genuine love for each other was deeply felt by this reader and
it stirred my emotions time and again. The quips exchanged between the two
brought forth more than one audible chuckle, and perhaps an actual guffaw or
two. ;-)
Turano has a natural ability when it comes to pacing a
story. It is always expeditiously done with plenty of humor, thoughtfulness, laughter,
quirky scenes, and much grace. I highly recommend Caught by Surprise, the final book in the Apart from the Crowd series. It is lighthearted entertainment yet
inspirational, full of sound truths delivered in a gentle and whimsical manner.
I do recommend reading the series from the beginning so you get the full flavor
of the characters. You will fall in love with ALL of them and be asking for
more.
I received a paperback copy from the publisher. No review
required. No compensation received.
Thanks for the delightful review, my friend. Jen Turano is a wonderful author and I must put this one on my "to read" list.
