Caught by Surprise

Jen Turano has an uncanny habit of taking the most unusual heroines and putting them in uncharacteristic situations that lead them on a pot-hole filled road to love and romance.

In our latest breaking news, Temperance Flowerdew has been asked to vacate the residence where she is living with distant cousins.  Miss Flowerdew, can you tell us where you are going to find lodging for tonight?

Miss Flowerdew:  I planned to go to Miss Snook's school for young ladies.  I teach art and music there, and I really must be on my way. 

Two ugly thugs with a carriage approach Miss Flowerdew and roughly push her into the carriage. 

Did you see that? Miss Flowerdew has been kidnapped right off the street!!!!  Quick, let's follow the carriage to see where they taking her. Oh no! We've lost them.  Well, This has been Action Jackson News.

This is where EVERYONE is Caught by Surprise--the characters and the readers alike.  Missing people keep showing up unexpectedly, dead people show up in the middle of funerals being held for them.

No matter where Temperance and her rescuer, Gilbert, go, someone tries to take their lives.

This is a rollicking, roller coaster ride of a read. It's important to realize the reader needs to keep his/her feet on the floor.   Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and the last wallflower who wants to come to your party. 

Bethany House and NetGalley.com provided the galley I read.  All opinions are solely my own.
