Quincy and Priscilla at the Lowell House by talented wordsmith Caryl McAdoo is my favorite of all the books this author has written. I was immediately engaged in the story and with the characters. This historic romance is wonderful.

This is the tale of head chef, Quincy. He makes wonderful dishes for the Lowell House in Dallas Texas. It is also the story of Priscilla. Her father has recently died and her mother has gone to stay with a relative. Priscilla has been matched with Quincy by a matchmaker, unbeknownst to him.

I loved this story. It is filled with lovable characters, Christian lessons, and scripture. The descriptions of cooking and the food were spot on. The conversations were delightful and realistic. Friendships between character were sweet. The characters were well defined and relatable. There are a few twists and chuckles throughout this sweet tale.

I highly recommend this matchmaker bride book. It is a page turner that you will not want to put down until you have finished the entire book. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. A copy was provided by Celebrate Lit but these are my honest words.

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!
