Review: Okay, honest up front. After reading Ms. Turano's novella A GENTLEMAN OF HER DREAMS and her novel A MOST PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCE I knew what to expect: a strong, independent, and quirky female heroine stretching the boundaries of Gilded Age New York City. I knew there would be historical inconsistencies that would bother me. I was right, but after reading A MOST PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCE, I was so curious about Felicia's story, that I really needed to read it. (So that says something, right?) Like with A MOST PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCE, the story is fun with lots of mad-cap-ness, and I am always for mad-cap-ness in books. Felicia pushed my limits a bit more-really, the things she did would have absolutely ruined her, no questions asked-but I still liked her. Grayson is certainly my favorite hero of Ms. Turano's. The pacing lagged a bit but I kept at it. If you're not picky like me, you'll love this story.
