A missionary, A pendant, Love
While most girls dream of Prince Charming sweeping them away, Megan Taylor’s calling to leave North Carolina and become a missionary came at a young age. After her mother’s cancer and death, those plans turned upside down. When Megan finds herself in London with several men vying for her attention while she finishes writing her late mother’s book on Egyptian antiquities, she soon has more chaos in her life than just the questions of where God wants to send her . . . and if she should date. But her determination and focus while preparing to be a missionary has left no room for romance except in her beloved Jane Austen novels, especially Sense and Sensibility.
After inheriting an antique necklace, Megan gets caught up in mystery, danger, and intrigue. An unlikely partner joins in her search for answers, and she can’t help but wonder if romance waits in her future after all. In the midst of their quest, will she find and recognize her own Colonel Brandon? And can she still fulfill her life’s calling?
Not Quite Colonel Brandon is the second book in the Not Quite Series but can be read as a standalone. It is not a Sense & Sensibility retelling but does touch on the idea that people are not always what they first seem.

The mystery surrounding the necklace kept me flipping the pages until the heartwarming end. The faith elements were beautifully done and truly inspired me to be more open about my faith. -- N. Lam
I loved the way MS Griffin uses scripture and prayer so fluidly in the lives of the characters and the way Megan never loses sight of the fact that she is a child of God called to share Him with those around her. -- M
Y'all, I want to jump up and down right now! I love, love, love, love this book! I couldn't stop smiling throughout it! -- J
The absolute best parts of the book for me are the abundance of scripture references! It was encouraging and inspiring to me as the characters encouraged each other with meaningful scriptures. -- J. Durkin
Recommended for those who love solidly Christian reads... I've rarely read a Christian fiction book where the main character was so evangelistic-minded. -- H. Wood
What I love about Kim Griffin's books is that the faith of her characters isn't cotton candy fluff; these people are tested, they have doubts, they walk through darkness and at the end of the day they see that God has been with them every step of the way. -- C. E.
