In my world of reading lots and lots of Christian Historical Fiction I am always split in feelings when a new author comes along. Either I'm going to love them and be very enthusiastic about their new career and want to spread the word desperately or I'm going to want to love them and fall short. No need to worry here! Full length novel whirlwind of witty amusement is what I found here. Plenty of chuckles, snickers and even a few snorts (I'd rather you not repeat that...) kept me enraptured beyond the last page and I cannot believe that I have to wait until June for more to learn about the third Bennett child and her romance with the apparently far from opposite private investigator – already this must be good.
The glimpse of Hamilton from A Gentleman of Her Dreams did not even begin to make me realize what personality he would have off the page in A Change of Fortune, but then first impressions can always possibly be misleading. I came to love both Hamilton and Zayne and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Zayne and Agatha romance later on. Eliza was the one that kept me turning pages, but the rest filled me with such amusement and entertainment that I can without failure tell you that I have encountered a new permanent shelf keeper favorite author. It's like if Mary Connealy wrote regency and golden era, which coming from my opinions – that's high praise!
Thanks to Bethany House for providing a copy of A Change of Fortune for review through the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance.
