The wait is over - A Match of Wits review

A Match of Wits by Jen Turano tells the story of Zayne Beckett and Agatha Watson.  Readers were introduced to Zayne and Agatha in the first book, and if they were like me, were ready and waiting to read this story.  Zayne and Agatha have had a chemistry from the first, and it is still very strong in this story.  Agatha is working as a journalist for the New York Tribune and is traveling the country in search of stories.  It is during one of her journeys, that she runs into Zayne after a separation of two years.  What ensues is a fascinating tale of wits and mutual attraction between these two characters, with peeps from former characters in between. 

Ms. Turano weaves this tale with a quirky blend of humor, romance, and adventure.  She may have me close to tears when relating to a character in one point, and then rolling in laughter a couple of pages over.  Her way of writing keeps the reader interested and makes the book move quickly.  It is apparent to everyone but Zayne and Agatha that they would be a good match.  Zayne is trying to find someone for Agatha to marry and protect her from the enemies she has made in her quest for stories.  Agatha is trying to protect Zayne from past hurts and bring him back to his family. 

Anytime Agatha and Zayne are involved, an adventure is waiting to unfold.  This book was no different.  While I did not enjoy this book as much as I had enjoyed her prior novels, I was happy with the way the story turned out.  Agatha and Zayne were great characters and it was great to see them fall in love (or renew a love that they had in the past but never acknowledged).  Their antics through out the book make for a great read.  This book would be a good read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction with romance, humor, and adventure thrown in.
