4 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
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.

Third and final book of this historical romance with murder and mayhem. I enjoyed the fun writing of the wallflowers of high society of the 1880s in New York. Happily ever after.

Happily, amidst familiar faces from the “Apart from the Crowd” series, I excitedly joined the adventure which kicked off immediately as Temperance stages her great escape from a coffin! With Jen Turano‘s usual light and witty writing, the story flies along with twists and turns in each chapter. The characters are delightful, I find this particular cast well-balanced, interesting and the sort with whom I‘d like to have a cup of tea.

#FirstLineFriday: “The first inkling Miss Temperance Flowerdew had that her rather mundane day was about to turn anything but mundane happened when a closed carriage trundled up beside her, keeping pace with her every step as she walked down the sidewalk adjacent to Broadway.”

hes7 #Friday56: “Abandoning his role as Mr. Smith since he'd never been a gentleman comfortable with subterfuge and wasn't willing to continue with a farce not of his making, Gilbert introduced himself to a young man working the front desk and laid out exactly what he needed.” 6y
