Publisher's summary

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.

Fun, fast moving story!

Jen Turano’s books always leave me well satisfied. This is the 1st time I have “read” one of her books on audible but won’t be the last! Very well performed, like a play, with vividly described characters portrayed with eloquence. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying this story!!

Loved this series!

This review is in regards to the whole series. I loved listening to a series that were full of intrigue, romance, excitement and bits of Godly touches of faith and hope. I listen to a lot of romance novels, but these three were delightful and refreshing. I was never bored in the least and I highly recommend them. Well worth the credits! I don't know if I liked one over the other, but I found myself laughing, crying and cheering at some time or another in all three, but especially in "Caught By Surprise." There were so many times of emotions, yet the story left you feeling wonderful at the end. Simply a wonderful read! Looking forward to more books by Jen Turano! Please keep them coming. We need more positive, clean romance books likes these!

Fun, Mystery, Friendship, & Love

*Update* I've listened to this book multiple times and find more to love each time! 💕
LOVE THIS BOOK! Jen Turano gives us humor, mystery, skullduggery, suspense and many surprises in this heart-filled love story. I loved the characters in this book and series. The deep friendship between the "wallflowers" was so touchingly real.

I loved learning more about Temperance and Gilbert's past. The way they fuss at each other then continue on as if nothing happened was fun. I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow.

This book is also a fast paced adventure with kidnapping, bullets whizzing by, people of the criminal set, and Pinkerton detectives.

I highly recommend this book and the series! Hang on tight as it is a great ride, especially if Miss Henrietta is driving.

Lauren Ezzo has done a marvelous job with the narration! I am so glad that she did the whole series.

A fun read

I’ve listened to this audiobook several times and still love it. The third installment in the Apart From the Crowd series is as delightful as the previous two books. This time we learned about Temperance Flowerdew. Jen Turano’s humor is conveyed in a pleasing manner as Temperance navigates pitfalls such as a kidnapping.
