I'm in love with another Jen Turano book! I just can't help it! Each book seems to get better and better! And it only takes one glance at the front to see why it is my favorite cover from all of the lovely ones from this series and earlier ones.

Caught By Surprise is a completely delightful blend of romance, comedy, history, and suspense. I have to confess that it took me a little bit to warm up to Mr. Gilbert Cavendish, he is SUCH a stuffed shirt! However, I loved the surprising and whimsical Miss Temperance Flowerdew from the start.

With a cast of characters who are charming, quirky, villainous, and NEVER what you expect, Jen Turano's conclusion to her irresistible Apart From The Crowd series is sure to enchant any reader. Caught By Surprise more than lives up to its title, featuring many laugh-out-loud moments, and even a few poignant ones, quite a few surprises all around, and a perfectly wonderful Happy ending...

I love the variety of quirky characters that this author has created for this series. It was so much fun looking in on them all again and catching up with the main characters from both of the earlier books. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Miss Temperance Flowerdew and Mr. Gilbert Cavendish take center stage in this final book in the series.

Temperance has come out of her shell and is letting her natural character traits shine forth for all of New York to see. She gets into the most amazingly hilarious situations that kept me laughing. At times it was laugh-out-loud funny and had people giving me very strange looks.

Gilbert has his own peculiar traits that he is working hard to tame so that he can connect with Temperance better. His efforts are just as funny as Temperance's situations. He is steady and by her side throughout the story.

They find themselves in many dangerous situations which seems to be typical of this author's writing style. They are surrounded by a number of staunch friends and supporters that are willing to step in and help immediately.

Outrageously funny! Sometimes a reader just needs a touch of whimsy and chaos that she can laugh her way through and that's what Jen Turano delivers in Caught by Surprise. From the giggle inducing character names to Miss Snook's School for the Education of the Feminine Mind...I mean...if that doesn't have you snorting with glee, I don't know what will!

Sublime dialogue -- honestly, the banter between Temperance and Gilbert made me giddy. They grew up together so all that history brings familiarity but then suddenly they are forced to see each other in a different light and -- zing -- the toe-curling starts happening. Cue the euphoric chuckling because this is a Jen Turano novel and even the romance is infused with delicious comedy!

It starts with a bungled kidnapping and picks up from there. :-) From madcap mayhem straight to bedlam and I loved every blessed second!

This is book 3 of a series by Jen Turano and I really enjoy her writing. It starts out with, what I thought, a great cover. This book has action and adventure in it. There are twists and turns that are fun to follow. There is romance in the devotion that Gilbert has for Temperance. It was enjoyable to watch their relationship go up and down and up and down and up throughout the book. If you're in for a LONG book that takes a while to complete, then this just might be the book for you. Actually, you might want to start with book 1 and work your way through the whole series.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I found this book to be very entertaining. The story kept me interested and I found myself laughing out loud. Jen Tutano is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors. Her stories are full of laughter, mystery and believable characters. I have a hard putting it down.
