Lucetta Plum is an actress in New York City, but she must abandon her starring role when an overzealous fan begins to threaten her life. Her dear friend, Abigail Hart, will do anything to keep Lucetta safe, so she whisks Abigail away to her grandson’s castle. Of course Abigail loves any chance she can get to play matchmaker, so of course she relishes the opportunity to play matchmaker for Abigail and her grandson.
Bram Haverstein, Abigail’s grandson, appears to be a gentleman of means, but he does have his many secrets. Bram’s family and neighbors think that he is eccentric and up to something criminal. Bram knows what people think about him, but he has no intention of giving up his secrets or lifestyle.
When Abigail and Lucetta arrive at Bram’s estate, they are greeted rather rudely and are forced to leave without even meeting Bram. Not to be deterred, Abigail and Lucetta finally find a way into the estate, but they are met with blasting cannons, wild dogs, and a menacing goat. After realizing her Abigail and Lucetta are, Bram welcomes him into his house with open arms. Lucetta is grateful for a safe place to stay, but when strange things begin to happen at Bram’s estate, she begins to wonder if she is truly safe anywhere. Will Lucetta remain safe or will her crazed fan find her and make her life miserable?

“Playing the Part” by Jen Turano is a delightful read. The book is filled with lots of humor, crazy adventures, a hint of mystery, and a dash of romance. The story is very well written and I could not help but laugh throughout the book at the many funny things that happened to Lucetta. There are also very important lessons that we should all learn in the midst of the story: 1. We should not judge people by the outward appearance that we see; 2. We should not try to be someone that we are not. God made us the way that He wants us and we shouldn’t try to change that; and 3. We should not make assumptions based on things that we think to be true. Many times we jump to conclusions about things when we do not even know the truth of the matter. I highly recommend this story to anyone who likes a good clean story.
I received a complimentary story from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
