I
truly enjoyed the first twenty-eight chapters of Temperance
Flowerdew's story from her kidnapping to finding those responsible
for the threats on her life, from the difficulties of living with
cousins who did not want her to the pursuit of her hand in marriage
by someone who wanted her very much. I had anticipated the events
that occurred early in chapter twenty-nine, but had been hoping the
story wouldn't take that trite route. Then at the end of the chapter
I found myself rolling my eyes. Although I actually would have
embraced the end of chapter twenty-nine without the beginning. So, I
chose to hold onto the wonderfulness, if that's even a word, of the
first twenty-eight chapters and rewrite the ending in my head. Jen
Turano provided me with some pretty fun characters to do that with,
placed them in a delightful setting, and gave me twenty-eight great
chapters to become involved in their lives. I thank her for that, and
hope she doesn't mind my parting ways over the last couple of
chapters.
I
thank NetGalley and Bethany House for providing me with a copy of
Caught By Surprise in
exchange for an honest review. I was under no obligation to write a
positive review and received no monetary compensation.
