Quincy & Priscilla at the Lowell House ~ Caryl McAdoo

When Priscilla loses her father, her mother sells everything and sends her to Texas for a match making marriage.  When Priscilla arrives at the Lowell House, she meets Charity Lowell and realizes that she is the one that has set up this marriage.  Quincy is the chef at Lowell House and father/widower to an 8 year old girl, he has no plans to find love or be married again at this time, though many people in the town have tried to set him up with women, all to fail.  Priscilla soon finds out that this was a set up and Quincy has no idea, she also realizes they have nothing in common and he is much older than she expected.  Can they find love and happiness?  Will the find something that they have in common? Will Priscilla decide it is not going to work out and she goes back to Chicago?

I would recommend this to anyone that wants a short light romance read.  It is predictable, but the story has some humor and love to make it a book worth the afternoon read.  This story will take you on a journey that will make you smile.  I really enjoyed this story, it was comforting and if you like a good Hallmark movie then you will really like this book.

 More from Caryl

Well, what’s better or more fun than a story with an improbable hero-heroine match! Neither ever even thought about hiring someone to find them a spouse! But a newly-widowed mother wanted a husband for her daughter, and a dear daughter wanted a wife for her widowed father.

 The two believed they knew exactly what Quincy and Priscilla needed—to marry!

 I love reading stories with connecting characters, so this one relates to my Cross Timbers Romance Family Saga. Downtown Dallas is the setting for QUINCY & PRISCILLA At The Lowell House, a hotel Morgan and Charity Lowell built . . . just as her little sister dreamed in book four, LEAVING TEXAS.

 Once Charity ate Quincy’s cuisine, there was nothing to do but hire him away from the New York restaurant and sway him to come to Texas—no easy task. Morgan’s offer of partial ownership tipped the scales, and as time passed, Charity and his wife became fast friends, even going through pregnancies together.

 Her Maisie came first, then when the second baby girl was born, the mother passed, leaving the chef a widower with a tiny daughter. Now eight years old, Rayne and Maisie pester the girl’s mother, her honorary Aunt Charity, into going in cahoots with them to find Quincy a wife—whether he wanted one or not.

Meanwhile, back in Chicago, Priscilla’s papa died suddenly, leaving her mother practically penniless. Behind her socialite daughter’s back, Mama schemed to get her daughter a husband. Men were scarce in 1866 after the war. Knowing her hard-headed girl would refuse any such proposition, she hired a matchmaker behind her back.

The match had been made, and she had to tell Priscilla! Mama tried at least fifty times and failed, but time was up. The family home had been sold, a new year was dawning, and she had train tickets in hand for the girl’s soon departure to Texas.

That’s where my story begins! Mama can’t force Priscilla to go, so what’s it going to take to get on that train? Then when she arrives at the Lowell House and her intended knows nothing of her . . .

I believe the journey will take the readers on a rollercoaster ride!
