From the Cover:
Miss Fannie Rousseau is a young woman of privilege traveling west to
uncover the truth behind a family secret.
Mr. Samuel Beck is on
a mission to atone for past failures that still haunt him.
Their meeting aboard a steamboat to Montana sparks an unlikely
attraction. They are opposites in every way…except in how neither one can stop
thinking about the other.
Will the end of the
journey bring the end of their relationship, or is it just the beginning?
Andrea's Take:
This book is my introduction to Stephanie Grace Whitson, and
let me say she made a lovely first impression. A Most Unsuitable Match is an engaging story with plenty of surprising
twists to keep the reader guessing. I stayed up long past bedtime, and got
almost nothing done the next day because I didn’t want to put it down.
Fannie Rousseau and Samuel Beck head up a delightful cast of
characters. As they strive to reach their separate goals, both find faith and
struggle to keep it alive in the face of painful revelations and trials. Friends
they find—and lose—along the way point them toward God and each other. The
ending is wonderful, and I love the epilogue.
Something I found truly delightful was the cover. Before I read the book, I thought it was
simply a nice picture of two people standing on the deck of a ship. After I
read the book I recognized that the cover designers went to some trouble to
outfit the models quite accurately according to the details of the story. I
know Mrs. Whitson probably didn’t design the cover, but I thought it worth
mentioning anyway.
I found A Most
Unsuitable Match to be a lovely story wrapped up in a lovely package. It
was worth the loss of sleep and buildup of housework it cost me to finish it
quickly. I’ll start keeping my eye out for Stephanie Grace Whitson’s work in
the future.
I received my copy of A Most Unsuitable Match free from the publisher for review
purposes. I was not compensated, and all
opinions are my honest personal impressions.
A Most Unsuitable Match will be on the list of books for my big giveaway in October. Don't miss it!
