How I wish I had had more time to savor this fun and entertaining tale that was exactly what I have come to expect from the talented Jen Turano. Her quirky sense of humor never fails to make me laugh and is especially welcomed during this difficult time in our nation.<\/p>\n<p><em>To Steal A Heart<\/em> is book one in Turano&#8217;s latest series,<span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-extra-large\">The Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency which features a diverse group of young women who have decided that they have a unique ability to obtain answers to problems experienced by other women that men tend to ignore. This particular tale centers around Gabriella Goodhue whose past as a child street thief equipped her with skills that made her the perfect person to carry out certain activities required to solve mysteries. Of course there has to be a man to add a bit of aggravation and romance to Gabriella&#8217;s life. This role is perfectly filled by her long lost childhood friend Nicholas Quinn who is now a member of society.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To Steal A Heart may well be Turano&#8217;s best novel yet with its convoluted yet brilliant plot, delightfully quirky characters, and so many twists and turns plus a surprise or two. Within the story are several other potential romantic stories\u00a0 for future books involving other characters and I look forward to reading them all. I particularly expect Daphne&#8217;s tale to be particularly fun. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit.

How did you come up with the idea for this series?<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, this series was inspired by a lot of different things. I keep this idea box, and whenever I stumble on something interesting, I throw the idea into the box. When I was getting ready to assemble a proposal for a new series, I took out the box and began rifling through it. Unfortunately, nothing struck my fancy. What did strike my fancy though, was the movie \u201cMy Fair Lady.\u201d I\u2019d recently watched it for the millionth time, and I thought\u2026hmmm\u2026what could I do with that? Well, I didn\u2019t want to do a recreation of \u201cMy Fair Lady\u201d and that\u2019s when it hit me \u2013 what if I used a gentleman instead of a lady and improved his circumstances in life with the help of a professor? That wasn\u2019t really enough, though, for me to formulate an entire series, but then I went to New York City for a research trip. While there, I roamed around Bleecker Street for hours. It was the perfect place to set a series, and then I saw this older building that my tour guide thought might have once been a boardinghouse. That was what really started me thinking, and before I knew it, I\u2019d created an inquiry agency run by women that came about when a resident of a boardinghouse was unjustly accused of theft. When the police would not investigate further, believing they had the true culprit behind bars, the ladies who lived in the boardinghouse felt compelled to step up and clear their fellow boardinghouse resident of the charges brought against her. The series took off from there, the first book centering around one of the lady inquiry agents, Miss Gabriella Goodhue, who used to live on the mean streets of the Lower East Side and, at one point in her life, was best friends with Nicholas Quinn, the man who has now found his circumstances vastly improved from the time he knew Gabriella. Throwing the two of them back together made for an interesting storyline, especially since Gabriella believes Nicholas abandoned her all those years ago, which makes it next to impossible for her to trust him.<\/p>\n<p>Are there other interesting characters in this series?<\/p>\n<p>Of course. All of the lady inquiry agents come with their own secrets. Miss Daphne Beekman is a reclusive author who lives in the attic of the boardinghouse. She has the propensity to faint at the drop of a hat, which makes for a few amusing scenes in the first book. She\u2019ll get her own story in \u201cTo Write a Wrong,\u201d coming out later in 2021. Then there\u2019s Eunice Holbrooke. She\u2019s the owner of the boardinghouse, and she only wears full mourning garb, covering her face with numerous veils and refusing to speak to anyone about her past. Clearly, there\u2019s a mystery just waiting to be solved there, one that will be solved in book three, which I\u2019m just now beginning to work on. The other residents of the boardinghouse provide a lot of color to the story, from the two sisters who work as paid companions by day to gossip collectors and carriage drivers by night, to the resident artist, Miss Judith, who has recently decided to dip her toe into the portrait market even though she\u2019s really not proficient with painting people. There\u2019s also a one-eyed, patch-wearing dog by the name of Winston, a parrot that likes to nick sparkly items named Pretty Girl, and a neurotic poodle that falls for Winston that goes by the name of Precious.<\/p>\n<p>Did the pandemic affect the writing process at all for \u201cTo Steal a Heart?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-26289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/she-shed-jen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/she-shed-jen.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/she-shed-jen-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/she-shed-jen-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Luckily, I had already turned in the book before the pandemic hit. With that said, though, I then had to do some of the edits during the first few months of the pandemic. That was interesting. I have very specific conditions I need in order to write and edit and having Al (the husband person) working from home isn\u2019t one of those conditions. It took me far longer than it normally does to complete the editing process, which threw off my schedule for the next book in the series, \u201cTo Write a Wrong.\u201d Drastic measures were needed. That\u2019s why I\u2019m now the proud owner of a she-shed. Al thought I was joking when I first broached the subject of a she-shed, but after I had my millionth meltdown, he decided that might be a really good idea. Turns out sheds are in high demand at the moment, so getting a shed in a timely fashion wasn\u2019t possible. It took 6 weeks for us to get a shed delivered and then we had to frame the inside and put up a ceiling and walls. I was not actually very involved with that process because I\u2019m a danger to everyone surrounding me when nail guns are being used. ? I did paint the outside of the shed, then painted the inside. Of course the air conditioning unit I had to order was delayed, so I painted in 100 degree heat. Lost about five pounds doing that, so\u2026unexpected bonus there. I just recently finished decorating the inside, and I\u2019m typing this interview from my new space. I\u2019m thinking I\u2019m going to call it \u201cJen\u2019s Novel Nook\u201d but that might change, so don\u2019t quote me on that.<\/p>\n<p>Anything else you\u2019d like to add?<\/p>\n<p>Just that I hope everyone is surviving these crazy days. I know there are many people out there who are suffering from many different problems this pandemic has caused. Know that you\u2019re not alone, and that brighter days will show up again. Until that time, try to remember to smile and, perhaps, read a few books.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing all of you the very best!<\/p>\n<p>Jen<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter

How I wish I had had more time to savor this fun and entertaining tale that was exactly what I have come to expect from the talented Jen Turano. Her quirky sense of humor never fails to make me laugh and is especially welcomed during this difficult time in our nation.<\/p>\r\n<p><em>To Steal A Heart<\/em> is book one in Turano's latest series,<span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-extra-large\">The Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency which features a diverse group of young women who have decided that they have a unique ability to obtain answers to problems experienced by other women that men tend to ignore. This particular tale centers around Gabriella Goodhue whose past as a child street thief equipped her with skills that made her the perfect person to carry out certain activities required to solve mysteries. Of course there has to be a man to add a bit of aggravation and romance to Gabriella's life. This role is perfectly filled by her long lost childhood friend Nicholas Quinn who is now a member of society.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>To Steal A Heart may well be Turano's best novel yet with its convoluted yet brilliant plot, delightfully quirky characters, and so many twists and turns plus a surprise or two. Within the story are several other potential romantic stories\u00a0 for future books involving other characters and I look forward to reading them all. I particularly expect Daphne's tale to be particularly fun. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit.

How did you come up with the idea for this series?<\/p>\r\n<p>Oddly enough, this series was inspired by a lot of different things. I keep this idea box, and whenever I stumble on something interesting, I throw the idea into the box. When I was getting ready to assemble a proposal for a new series, I took out the box and began rifling through it. Unfortunately, nothing struck my fancy. What did strike my fancy though, was the movie \u201cMy Fair Lady.\u201d I\u2019d recently watched it for the millionth time, and I thought\u2026hmmm\u2026what could I do with that? Well, I didn\u2019t want to do a recreation of \u201cMy Fair Lady\u201d and that\u2019s when it hit me \u2013 what if I used a gentleman instead of a lady and improved his circumstances in life with the help of a professor? That wasn\u2019t really enough, though, for me to formulate an entire series, but then I went to New York City for a research trip. While there, I roamed around Bleecker Street for hours. It was the perfect place to set a series, and then I saw this older building that my tour guide thought might have once been a boardinghouse. That was what really started me thinking, and before I knew it, I\u2019d created an inquiry agency run by women that came about when a resident of a boardinghouse was unjustly accused of theft. When the police would not investigate further, believing they had the true culprit behind bars, the ladies who lived in the boardinghouse felt compelled to step up and clear their fellow boardinghouse resident of the charges brought against her. The series took off from there, the first book centering around one of the lady inquiry agents, Miss Gabriella Goodhue, who used to live on the mean streets of the Lower East Side and, at one point in her life, was best friends with Nicholas Quinn, the man who has now found his circumstances vastly improved from the time he knew Gabriella. Throwing the two of them back together made for an interesting storyline, especially since Gabriella believes Nicholas abandoned her all those years ago, which makes it next to impossible for her to trust him.<\/p>\r\n<p>Are there other interesting characters in this series?<\/p>\r\n<p>Of course. All of the lady inquiry agents come with their own secrets. Miss Daphne Beekman is a reclusive author who lives in the attic of the boardinghouse. She has the propensity to faint at the drop of a hat, which makes for a few amusing scenes in the first book. She\u2019ll get her own story in \u201cTo Write a Wrong,\u201d coming out later in 2021. Then there\u2019s Eunice Holbrooke. She\u2019s the owner of the boardinghouse, and she only wears full mourning garb, covering her face with numerous veils and refusing to speak to anyone about her past. Clearly, there\u2019s a mystery just waiting to be solved there, one that will be solved in book three, which I\u2019m just now beginning to work on. The other residents of the boardinghouse provide a lot of color to the story, from the two sisters who work as paid companions by day to gossip collectors and carriage drivers by night, to the resident artist, Miss Judith, who has recently decided to dip her toe into the portrait market even though she\u2019s really not proficient with painting people. There\u2019s also a one-eyed, patch-wearing dog by the name of Winston, a parrot that likes to nick sparkly items named Pretty Girl, and a neurotic poodle that falls for Winston that goes by the name of Precious.<\/p>\r\n<p>Did the pandemic affect the writing process at all for \u201cTo Steal a Heart?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-26289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/she-shed-jen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/>Luckily, I had already turned in the book before the pandemic hit. With that said, though, I then had to do some of the edits during the first few months of the pandemic. That was interesting. I have very specific conditions I need in order to write and edit and having Al (the husband person) working from home isn\u2019t one of those conditions. It took me far longer than it normally does to complete the editing process, which threw off my schedule for the next book in the series, \u201cTo Write a Wrong.\u201d Drastic measures were needed. That\u2019s why I\u2019m now the proud owner of a she-shed. Al thought I was joking when I first broached the subject of a she-shed, but after I had my millionth meltdown, he decided that might be a really good idea. Turns out sheds are in high demand at the moment, so getting a shed in a timely fashion wasn\u2019t possible. It took 6 weeks for us to get a shed delivered and then we had to frame the inside and put up a ceiling and walls. I was not actually very involved with that process because I\u2019m a danger to everyone surrounding me when nail guns are being used. ? I did paint the outside of the shed, then painted the inside. Of course the air conditioning unit I had to order was delayed, so I painted in 100 degree heat. Lost about five pounds doing that, so\u2026unexpected bonus there. I just recently finished decorating the inside, and I\u2019m typing this interview from my new space. I\u2019m thinking I\u2019m going to call it \u201cJen\u2019s Novel Nook\u201d but that might change, so don\u2019t quote me on that.<\/p>\r\n<p>Anything else you\u2019d like to add?<\/p>\r\n<p>Just that I hope everyone is surviving these crazy days. I know there are many people out there who are suffering from many different problems this pandemic has caused. Know that you\u2019re not alone, and that brighter days will show up again. Until that time, try to remember to smile and, perhaps, read a few books.<\/p>\r\n<p>Wishing all of you the very best!<\/p>\r\n<p>Jen<\/p>\r\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26290\"
