Several gold coins are scattered around. Doctor Jason Abernathy, who is sweet on Marjorie, drives over to help Peavey. Problem is that Peavey has always been scatterbrained, so when he only mutters about being held in a dungeon underneath a castle by Moors, no one is surprised and no one believes him Loretta and Malachai seem to rub each other the wrong way from the beginning.

Yet they are both attracted to one another too.

A Perfect Wedding

Loretta is positive that a mean associate of Malachai and her father's named William Frederick Tillinghurst is behind it all. Malachai is positive she is wrong. Nothing points to Tillinghurst as the guilty party, the man is highly respectable, and she should not accuse the man simply because she did not like how he handles his businesses. Two hard heads are about to clash! I was captivated by Malachai from the beginning, even though he is a bit too narrow minded when it comes to women. It took me awhile to warm up to Loretta though. Loretta's curiosity gets her in a lot of trouble, but she's also smart.

However, once she decides she is right, she refuses to even consider that she may be wrong. She came across as way too pushy. The great part is that Malachai figures out exactly how to tame her, or at least make her shut up. They are the perfect match! Don't think that this is the only entertainment the author gives us, her readers. Nope, we get to follow along as they attempt to clear up a mystery on stolen treasure. And it is all set in exciting San Francisco, during a time that America is getting used to all its modern conveniences, such as electricity and automobiles.

A delightful read that I recommend to all. From the back blurb you are lead to believe that a large part of the book is set on the Titanic-which I'm not interested in. I almost didn't buy it for that reason but I'm glad I changed my mind.

But she's not a "perfect" character-her faults-speaking whatever's on her mind, all the time, ability to get her friends into her fiascos, etc-just make her more endearing as a heroine. The hero is a adventuresome, hulk of a sea captain-a well-told hero with his own set of good and bad qualities.

A Perfect Stranger

The interplay between the two characters is very funny. Since I find that the majority of historicals seem to fall in either regency, medievel, or old west-this book is a wonderful change of pace and a thoroughly enjoyable time period to "visit". While the book has a few minor foibles, it's really none worth noting in the overall review. This is an excellent beginning novel from a new author. I was delighted by this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

One night at the soup kitchen, Loretta runs into attractive Malachai Quarles, captain of the Moor's Revenge. He is looking for two missing crewmen and finds one unconscious on the kitchen floor. When mate Peavey regains consciousness, he insists he was held prisoner. No one except Loretta believes him. As Loretta and Malachi argue over whether respectable William Frederick Tillinghurst is behind the abductions and more she says yes; he says no , they fall in love, but first must solve a bit of a mystery.

The action-packed Americana tale moves forward at quite a clip as the obstinate Loretta must have right wing Republican blood in her liberal Democratic do-gooder veins and the realistic but sexist Malachai it is WW1 argue their way into love. Anne Robins "Perfect" novels are exciting looks at San Francisco during a period of technological transition.
