After his departure from New York two years ago to meet up with his almost-fiancée, Zayne Beckett is the last person Agatha Watson wanted to stumble upon in her travels as a reporter with the New York Tribune. Quite pathetically bedraggled, he clearly needs to be taken in hand and sent back East to his family. Although she no longer has feelings for him, Agatha realizes, by hook or by crook, she'll have to be the one to get the obstinate man home.

Zayne has no desire to be taken anywhere and is prepared to drag his heels all the way home... until he finds himself slipping back into the familiar banter of his former friendship with Agatha. Once they arrive in New York, Zayne realizes Agatha's determined nose for news has earned her a few enemies, and he hopes to repay her help with some help of his own. When she rebuffs all his attempts to prove himself a knight in shining armor, the lengths to which they'll go to win this battle of wills lead to some memorable antics.

Everyone else may think them a match, but nothing could be further from the truth--until Agatha finds herself in real trouble. Have these two stubborn, too-smart-for-their-own-good people been meant for each other all along?

Witty dialogue, lovable characters, and crazy antics make this story a truly fun adventure. It helps to have read the others in this series. Love Jen Turano!

Clean, funny, romantic

I adored this series! Books 1-3 were definitely 5 star and above. Great dialogue, funny, great characters! Book 4 was good. The pig was a little over the top for me but then again, I’m not Agatha lol. Just because it literally ranked last for me, doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it.

Entertaining even if it is formulaic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've been binge reading this series and had to comment. I will start off that all of the books have me giggling and laughing and excited and I breeze through them. That said, there's a definite formula going on that's making things rather predictable. When I start the next series by this author, I hope to find some more variety. But it's basically, present the injuries of both parties, somebody ends up in jail (something that happens in every single book and, though very predictable, the scene is somewhat entertaining. Not so much in this book as in the others). Guy makes a stupid proposal. Girl sulks and guy is stupid for a while until the climax crisis and rescue scene after which they get engaged and quickly married. IF you've read one book, you have read the basic story of all of them, but the variety of personalities and such make it fun and worth going through. It may not be as mysterious as some of my favorite books, but the humor makes up for the predictability imo. Entertaining for sure

Humorous story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

Agatha has loved Zayne for years until two years ago when he left town to marry a woman no one wanted him to marry. Agatha decides it's time she forgets about Zayne and moves on with her career as a reporter. Two years later, there is someone who wants Agatha dead. She also unexpectedly finds Zayne, but he's a mess, so she tries to save him. The story wasn't quite as good as the other ones in this series. It may just be my personal preference, but it seemed to drag a bit at times for me. Agatha's personality grated on my nerves because she seemed to do things without considering the ramifications to herself and to others. It was sometimes too much like a slapstick comedy, which isn't my favorite thing. Zayne is way too dense when it comes to women. He actually comes across as a bit stupid and definitely not quite the hero type. Still, the story is well written and the characters are well developed, so I'm giving it 4 stars.

Madcap Adventures!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is filled with madcap adventures, extremely witty dialogue, and a P-I-G! Honestly, I think Matilda steals every scene she is in! 🐖
I enjoyed reading Agatha and Zayne's story. I loved Piper! Especially when she says; "I'm right Uncle Zayne. I don't have all the answers."
This was a nice end to the series.

Witty Twosome and a P-I-G

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this romantic, funny story of Agatha, an independent investigative reporter, whose best friend, Zayne, doesn't realize he's in love with her. Add a clever pig, Maltilda, to the mix and you have a funny laugh-out-loud story of misunderstanding and a happy ever after.

Another great book from Jen Turano. And this one has a pet pig!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

You've gota love a book when the heroine has a pet P-I-G named Matilda! This is the fourth (I think) book in the serious. They've all been great books. Laugh-out-loud funny. This one may have been the funniest because of Matilda. All the characters from books one-three are in this book (my favorite part of a series). It was great catching up with them. Having read the prior books you knew this would be a good book. Agatha, the heroine, just can't stay out of trouble. And what's not to like about Zatne, our hero? Well, except his initial stupidly. You don't have to read the prior books to enjoy this book, but I would encourage you too. I'm really hopeful that there will be more books in this series. Jen Turano is a great story teller!

Wealthy society of young people with mystery and intrigue

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

Jen Turano has a number of books about a New York society in the 1800s focusing on several families. Basically the young women in this society get themselves in situations and the young men rescue them, they fall in love finally and get married. All of them have witty dialog, funny situations and even physical comedy at times.
This one is similar, however the woman (Agatha) rescues the man (Zayne)... then he rescues her and then love... after much turmoil.
I still say the first one, A Change of Fortune was the best. I smiled through the others, but laughed out loud in that one.

schräg wie immer ;-)

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on November 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

Entweder man mag Jen Turano oder nicht. Alles ist überzogen, schräg und nicht wirklich glaubhaft, aber es macht Spaß die Stors zu lesen und es gibt was zu lachen. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es, weil es gegenüber den ersten drei Bänden nichts Neues zu bieten hat.

Not quite as good

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on June 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

Not her best. Although I love her style and the quirky adventures her characters get embroilled in - this book was a bit flat, for me. Too expensive, and not up to her usual standard, I thought.
