Maggie O’Shane spent a lot of years searching for purpose in her life. The quest took her to the world over as a nurse during the war, but no matter where she went, memories of home—and Jack, the man she left behind—taunt her. In Berlin, she finally found a piece of her heart again in the form of a silent orphan girl named Greta. But when the girl stumbles across a few Soviet secrets, they could pay for it with their lives. The Lord tells her to contact Jack . . . but why in the world would he risk his life to save hers? Miss Match heads straight into the heart of intrigue and danger, delving back into Maggie’s memories along the way. Though an unlikely group in a hostile city, these three brave the worst of the present and the past to get Maggie and Greta out of Berlin with their information. And if Allie has any say over it, Maggie and Jack will resolve a few personal issues too. But what of her own past and the man she hasn’t seen in eight years? Miss Match is a good book with an absolutely fabulous ending. The pages sped by all through it, but in the last chunk of chapters, I bit my nails, raced across the paragraphs, and literally let out a squeak of protest when I flipped the last page. “No!” I cried out. “I need more! More, I tell you!” Sara Mills delivered a perfect cliffhanger ending that guarantees her readers will eagerly await the next installment of the Allie Fortune Mystery series—which is certain to satisfy us concerning Allie and her long-lost David. The story is fast-paced and involving, the characters deep and personal, and the result is a novel that isn’t to be missed. Full of adventure, family secrets, and a few twists that will leave you breathless, Miss Match is a stellar sequel to Mills’ debut Miss Fortune. The book stands on its own when it comes to story, but if you want the full scope of the characters’ depth, definitely pick up Miss Fortune first—the history you get from the first will make the second all the more suspenseful. And you’ll be tapping your foot along with me, waiting for the third!
