Meeting Her Match

  


ABOUT THE BOOK 

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

From the lap of luxury in New York to the countryside of West Virginia,  Camilla Pierpont, matchmaker extraordinaire is comfortable wherever she goes. The crazy way in which Camilla and Owen Chesterfield meet, along with its misunderstanding, will have you laughing from the very beginning of the story. But the smiles and giggles doesn’t stop there! 


Jen Turano is an author whose books I can easily recommend to readers from teens through adults. It has love, adventure, mystery, surprises, and lots of fun. This is the third book in The Matchmaker series. While it can be read as a standalone, you’ll enjoy the stories of the other love matches that Camilla has helped make happen.

 

Things to look forward to reading:

Owen’s family

Esmeralda the pig

Fashion

Humor

West Virginia sayings

Chickens and whitewashing fences

Apple pie recipe

Annoyance to love

Multiple love matches
