Publisher's Book Description
“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
Meeting Her Match, by Jen Turano, is the third book in The Matchmakers series. This sweet historical romance is a truly delightful novel. Page after page, it is altogether charming, humorous, and surprising. It is well-written and exceedingly entertaining. Filled with unforgettable characters and plenty of clever dialogue, this novel is wholly endearing from beginning to end.
In Meeting Her Match, as in her other novels, one of Jen Turano’s gifts as a writer, is her imaginative talent for giving her characters the most astonishing conversations and placing them in humorously unpredictable circumstances. These circumstances often enable the characters to respond in unusual ways which helps to cultivate storylines that are frequently funny and always memorable. The characters themselves are genuinely engaging and sympathetic, and their winsome traits are refreshing. As they persevere through a variety of troublesome situations, their stories grow more meaningful and inspiring.
Meeting Her Match is made quite special through Ms. Turano’s exemplary use of witty dialogue and unique characters. Plenty of moments of comedy, intrigue, and romance make this book very appealing. This novel offers an uplifting story of family, community, and unexpected opportunities. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I eagerly recommend it.
