About the book:

For years, Miss Felicia Murdock's every thought and action have been in pursuit of becoming a minister's wife. When the minister she'd set her sights on has other ideas, she decides something in her life needs to change--and soon--before she wastes any more time pretending to be someone she's not. If that means spreading her wings and embracing a more lively way of life, who's to say nay?

Grayson Sumner, Lord Sefton, has had more than enough of spreading his wings and only hopes to settle into the life of a respectable New York gentleman. Prompted by some friends to lift the spirits of the disappointed-in-love Miss Murdock, he is surprised to encounter an adventurous young lady with an unfortunate knack for stumbling into troublesome situations.

Just as Grayson decides he's had quite enough of her antics, his past comes back to haunt him and his presence in Felicia's life endangers her. As they work together to extricate themselves from this latest complication, will Grayson and Felicia decide they want to spend the rest of their lives keeping one another out of trouble?

My thoughts:


I didn't enjoy A Talent for Trouble as much as I thought I would, and I think one of the reasons for that is because I read this one right after finishing books one and two - there were just too many similarities in the stories and that just annoyed/frustrated me. I think if I would have only read this book (or read it months after the others), I would have enjoyed it more. Also, there were some things in A Talent for Trouble that just didn't seem believable to me.

I was surprised by how much I liked the main hero. I think he might be my favorite from the books so far. I didn't love Felicia's character, but she wasn't horrible either. I am still really looking forward to Agatha's book - her story sounds so good!

The plot to this story might be my favorite, but overall I just didn't enjoy it all that much. There were parts I really liked, but also things I didn't and it was just an okay read for me. I see many people on Goodreads have loved A Talent for Trouble, so I could be the only one that didn't connect to it and you might like it.
