Miss Gertrude Cadwalader hoped her position as the paid companion to Mrs. Davenport would be easy. But as she becomes acquainted with her employer, she realizes the wealthy Mrs. Davenport has a strange tendency to be a bit light-fingered with other people’s trinkets. Gertrude is relieved when Mrs. Davenport decides to have a quiet summer away from the social scene–until the woman changes her mind in order to help a young socialite launch into society. When Gertrude is caught in the act of trying to return one of the trinkets by Mrs. Sinclair, the mother of shipping magnate Harrison Sinclair, the woman jumps to an unfortunate conclusion. Harrison is determined to mend fences with Miss Cadwalader, but he’s unprepared for the escapades a friendship with her will entail.
I really don’t know what to say about this book. I have read many of Jen Turano’s books but this one…
It has been sitting on my nightstand waiting to be read, but since I had finals, I had to put aside all fun reading. Not any more! Well, until I have finals in the spring.
I actually read this book in one day. It is an easy read but I am not impressed with the story. I liked Turano’s novella and first book in this series. The one thing that drove me crazy about this book was the character Mrs. Davenport. I cannot explain the annoyance I had for her. Also the story took place within a couple of days. So, half of the book was one day, which, in my opinion made the story drag out. Once I got half way through I was bored with the story. Oh, and another thing, the back of the book’s description does not happen until three quarters into the story.
I cannot say I disliked Out of the Ordinary to the point I would not recommend it but I was not a big fan. To those who have read the first in the series, I will say, give this book a try; you might enjoy it. This one did not make me give up on any of Turano’s other books, since I am already waiting for Caught by Surprise, which is the third book. That book should be coming out on July 31, 2018!

I received this book from the Bethany House Publishing of the Baker Publishing Group for this review.
This review is written in my own words and is my honest opinion.
Interested in my other reviews for the books in the series. Well, here they are:
