Publisher's summary

Miss Arabella Beckett has one driving passion: to help the downtrodden women of America. Naturally, she supports the women's suffrage movement and eagerly attends rallies and lectures across the country. On her travels, she makes a simple offer of assistance to a young woman in need that goes sadly awry and lands both ladies in more trouble than they can manage. An independent sort, Arabella is loath to admit she needs help and certainly doesn't need help from an arrogant, narrow-minded knight in shining armor.

Mr. Theodore Wilder, private investigator extraordinaire, is on a mission. A mission that began as a favor to his good friend Hamilton Beckett but swiftly evolved into a merry chase across the country. By the time he finally tracks down Hamilton's sister, Arabella, he is in a less than pleasant mood. When the lady turns out to have radical ideas and a fiercely independent streak, he soon finds himself at his wit's end.

When they return home to New York, circumstances force their paths to continue to cross, but the most peculiar feelings growing between them certainly can't be love. When the trouble Arabella had accidentally stirred up seems to have followed her to New York and threatens her very life, the unlikely couple must face the possibility that they might have landed in the most peculiar circumstance of all: love.

Great series

I loving this series! Suspense, wonderful characters and a twisting road to love all wrap together nicely. Plus with fabulous narration by Justine it is perfect!

Entertaining.

Made me smile and even laugh out loud many times. The characters are believable. Moral.

Story line was great

Tied in well with the series, I like the back stories of the characters.

Good but sillier than last one

I liked it but not enough romance as 95% of the interactions were blah, hardly even conteptuous and 70% of the book was about other misc things. Could have benefited with a polished rewrite.

Witty give and take

Jen Turano writes such great characters! one can read here books and laugh at their humanness.

Exceptionally Witty

I am fairly new to this author’s books. I’ve listened to three this far. I have found this one to have the wittiest of dialogue amongst all the main characters. What a great sense of humor this author presents her readers.

I also found her ability to bring, and strengthen, the faith of her characters into the story realistic.

I almost hesitate to listen to the next book in the series for fear it won’t meet the current bar set by this one.

Amazing Series

I have loved all of the books in this series. Humor suspense romance and I love they reference God! I also believe the narrated (Justine) did a really great job. I truly felt like I was in the story.

Thank you so much!!

Captivating!!

Not going to ruin it for you! I absolutely loved this book! I didn’t want it to end!

Highly recommend!

Very sweet book. Loved the characters and the storyline! It was fun and captivating. And sweetly romantic. 💛

An exciting fun story Saint Maries, Idaho

This was my first book by Jen Turano. I love her comic relief. This made me want to look for other books by her and of course Justine Eyre is one of my very favorite narrators. She has a way of making the comedy come to life and I found myself laughing out loud. I needed this. I do not recommend listening to her novels at night because you won’t be able to put it away.
