To Spark A Match by Jen Turano

To Spark a Match by Jen Turano is the second book in her "The Matchmakers" series, but it can be read alone. Miss Adelaide Duveen believes she will be a spinster, but has made peace with her fate and enjoys her cats and books. She is content with her life until she is completely ostracized from society. Mr. Gideon Abbott is partly responsible for her issues and tries to find a way to help her back into society’s good graces. But what if they have a spark of something more?

Jen Turano is one of my favorite authors and once again she did not disappoint. The story was lively and had me laughing from beginning to end. I was enchanted with the interesting details about the Gilded Age and enjoyed immersing myself in the story. Adelaide is an endearing quirky character who I enjoyed getting to know along with Gideon. The secondary characters had great personalities that had me wanting to visit New York City and meet them all!

To Spark a Match has mystery, humor, great characters, and sweet romance. The story drew me in and it was hard to put down. An absolute delightful read! I highly recommend To Spark a Match by Jen Turano!

To Write a Wrong by Jen Turano

“She was always doing the unexpected, and he couldn’t deny that he found unpredictability to be one the things he enjoyed most about her.  “

To Write a Wrong by Jen Turano is a fun-loving mystery with plenty of Jen Turano’s wonderful humor and sweet romance.  Daphne, our heroine, is absolutely adorable and probably one of my favorite characters from Jen Turano’s books to date.  She is witty and had depth that I appreciated as I read the story.    Herman, our hero, is all that a hero should be and I enjoyed the banter between him and Daphne.  Since they are both writers there were many great jokes about writers that really added to the story.

It was fun to leave New York for a bit and visit Boston and meet Daphne’s family.  The meeting with Daphne’s publisher had me laughing out loud and is worth reading the book for that alone!  Jen Turano is able to weave in a deeper story line through humor and talk about real issues facing women then and now. 

Jen Turano has once again written a humorous Gilded Age story with laugh out loud scenes, relatable characters, and themes that touched my heart.   A fabulous read!

To Steal A Heart by Jen Turano

To Steal a Heart by Jen Turano opens as our heroine, Gabriella Goodhue, is attending an exclusive society costume ball dressed as a man.  She is attempting to break into the home’s safe when she gets “caught” by her best friend from childhood, Nicholas Quinn who she has not seen in many years.  From there the story only gets better as Gabriella and Nicholas navigate adventure, intrigue, new feelings, and their beliefs on the society of the day.  

I love Jen Turano’s writing and I was not disappointed while reading To Steal A Heart.  This is the first book in her Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency series that follows the charming ladies who live at the Bleecker Street boarding house.  The boarders are delightful and I fell in love with each of their unique personalities.  Ms. Turano has a way of weaving humor into her stories while discussing weightier issues such as the problems of the day, societal norms, and issues of faith.  Her stories are interesting and I find them so enjoyable.  

I highly recommend To Steal A Heart by Jen Turano.  It is a fun loving adventure that will engage you to the end and keep you laughing.
