What is this book about?

Miss Camilla Pierpont, a renowned matchmaker and influential member of the New York Four Hundred, has vowed never to marry after suffering a devastating heartbreak during her debut years ago. However, when she is nearly abducted along the Hudson River, she finds herself rescued by an annoyingly outspoken, albeit fascinating, gentleman who challenges her in a manner she wasn’t expecting.

After learning that Camilla Pierpont has enjoyed success with taking wayward young ladies in hand, Mr. Owen Chesterfield travels to the Hudson River Valley determined to convince Camilla to sponsor his sister, who is in desperate need of social rehabilitation.

Knowing her life is in danger, Camilla agrees to Owen’s proposition and travels with him to West Virginia, finding herself charmed by the less-than-formal attitude of his small hometown, as well as by Owen himself. But danger waits in the shadows, disrupting what she knows would be the most spectacular match she’s ever made–her own.

My review:

I loved the sweet-swoony-slow burning romance between Camilla and Owen. Not only was there romance for the main characters, but befitting a story about a matchmaker, romance was in the air for multiple couples. There were also numerous animals attempting to upstage the humans in so many funny situations. As I’ve come to love with this author, there were many laugh out loud moments with a bunch of wonderfully quirky characters. In addition to witty banter and lots of romance, I was caught up in the mystery and villainy of the people intent on harming Camilla.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

So many laugh out loud moments

What I didn’t like about this book:

Slow start with long conversations

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Laugh out loud situations, wonderfully diverse characters and swoony-sweet romance. This is the third book in this series. It can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the second book (at least) to get a fuller picture of some secondary characters.

Note: I received this book complimentary as a member of the author’s launch team. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
