The Matchmakers book 1
by Jen Turano
-From Goodreads- Miss Gwendolyn Brinley accepted a temporary paid companion position for the Newport summer season, believing it would be a lark to spend the summer in America's most exclusive town. She suddenly finds her summer turning anything but amusing when her employer expects her to take over responsibilities as an assistant matchmaker. Tasked with the daunting prospect of attaining advantageous matches for her clients, Gwendolyn soon finds herself in the company of Mr. Walter Townsend, the catch of the Season, but a gentleman Gwendolyn finds beyond annoying. Walter is reluctantly in search of a wife for his unruly motherless children. What he wasn't expecting was Miss Brinley, who turns his quest for a new wife into a complete and utter debacle. The more time they spend together throughout the Newport Season, the harder it is for Gwendolyn to find Walter a wife when she realizes his perfect match might be . . . her. USA Today bestselling author Jen Turano's trademark wit, sweet romance, and hilarious mischief will keep you turning the pages of this lively Gilded Age tale. ISBN-13: 978-0764240201 He has met his match in his matchmaker... If I wasn't already a diehard Jen Turano fan the title of this newest series, The Matchmakers, would have intrigued me enough to check it out and A Match In The Making would have sold me on it. | This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating. |
A Match In The Making was a completely delightful read. By turns Jen Turano had me laughing out loud and wanting to drop a frog onto the laps of those snooty society ladies. But, oh, some of the antics of the other characters more than made up for my inability to reach through a fictional book. Let's just say that you should never yell “Rat!” while everyone is dressed up in their Sunday best... At any rate I sincerely enjoyed the inaugural The Matchmakers novel and I am highly anticipating the next book in the series...
