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.
My thoughts:
A Match in the
Making is the delightful first book in The Matchmakers series by Jen
Turano. If you have read any of her work
in the past, you are familiar with the wit, charming characters and marvelous scenarios Ms. Turano is known for. This novel is everything I have come to
expect from one of my favorite authors.
Gwendolyn Brinley
accepts a temporary position of a paid companion, well as it turns out she is needed
to assist as a matchmaker and it’s safe to say hilarity ensues as she tries to
match her clients. Gwendolyn is so
sweet, so funny and tries so hard. She was
definitely my favorite character, until I got to know Walter Townsend and his rambunctious
children. I loved the way Gwendolyn interacted
with them.
There are so many
fun and amusing characters within the pages of this book that it’s hard to put
down once you pick it up. I am looking
forward to the next book in the series.
I received a copy
from the publisher. Opinions are my own.
