Not Precisely Mr. Knightley: Book Review

BOOK BY: Carolyn Miller

I absolutely ENJOYED this second story of the Silver Tea Pot series. I can’t wait to get my hands on a paperback copy!

Once again, Carolyn Miller strikes it out of the park with her Jane Austen inspired contemporary novels. This isn’t one of those re-tellings, but there are many Easter eggs that are simply a treat to read that any Austen fan will love.

This time, we catch up with EJ, or Emma-Jane, and her best friend, Jordan Knight. The success of a dating app she created with Jordan is a result of hard-work. But EJ wants to take it a step further, and list it on the stock exchange. But in order to do so, she’ll have to find investors that believe in her Christian dating app as much as she does.

What follows is a journey reminiscent of Emma Woodhouse in Jane Austen’s Emma. It’s a beautiful story about the cost of success, of fame and chasing fortune. It’s a story of family-ties and of friendship. A friends-to-more story that has readers on edge thinking that this relationship just turned from friends-to-enemies…

But it’s a story of faith – of God’s faithfulness to us and of his forgiveness. Yes – this story digs into the faith aspect and I’m so grateful for authors who write faith-filled stories.

This is definitely one of my top reads of 2026.

I can’t wait for the next story in the Silver Teapot series. I received an ecopy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
