A Most Peculiar Circumstance is a charming and delightful historical Christian romance by Jen Turano about Arabella Beckett and Theodore Wilder. Prior readers of Ms. Turano will recognize Ms. Beckett as the sister of Hamilton Beckett from a prior novel. Arabella finds herself in the middle of a messy circumstance while travelling back home to New York. She has taken a side trip to help out someone, and has landed herself in jail. She is rescued by Theodore, a man her family has sent to bring her home. Arabella and Theodore are at cross purposes from the start, true opposites. Arabella is an activist for women's rights and a little too free for Theodore's tastes. However, there is that saying about opposites attracting. It doesn't take long for Theodore to figure out that his tastes have changed and that Arabella is what he wants. That is, if he can manage to keep her out of trouble long enough.
Arabella's penchant for getting into trouble and Theodore's arrival after almost every circumstance keeps the reader moving right along with the story. The story was lacking in detail in some sections to give more of an understanding of the growing attraction between the characters, in my opinion. However, this did not detract from the my overall enjoyment of the story and the characters. I found the story very enchanting and would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read in the historical Christian romance genre.
