A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Out of the Ordinary (Apart from the Crowd #2) - Jen Turano

This is the second book in the series.  There’s a novella, At Your Request, and then the first book, Behind the Scenes.

Gertrude is trying to locate her quirky employer.  Mrs. Davenport has sticky fingers, and now she’s missing while on board Harrison’s ship.  Since Gertrude has become good friends with Harrison, she doesn’t want her employer messing that up. But since Mrs. Davenport has used a birdcage to create part of her outfit, and now Gertrude is stuck.

Harrison has an unusual sense of style that everyone seems to take issue with.  It appears he has color blindness, so his outfits are somewhat outlandish.  He’s surrounded by sisters but reading their romance novels has given him a skewed vision of what women are looking for.  He’s drawn to Gertrude, but when suspicions are thrown her way, will they be able to get past them?

I enjoyed this book, the characters were what I’ve come to expect from this author: quirky, deep and well developed.  You’ll come across Asher and Permilia from the first book, but you don’t need to read that book to follow what’s going on here.  I look forward to the next book, Caught by Surprise, due out July 2018.  I can’t wait to read about Temperance and Gilbert!  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
