My Review:

I am short on time which in no way reflects on the book.

I loved A Match in the Making! I loved Gwendolyn's sass, and that she had no trouble telling people like it is.

I loved Penelope, Samuel, and Oscar, and their antics!

Walter grew on me.

Bottom line: A delightful story full of heart, witty banter, and sure to bring out some emotions.

This one got all my stars and had me immediately start listening to the second book in the series.

★★★★★/5

Synopsis (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 irritating.

Walter Townsend is reluctantly in search of a wife for the sake of his unruly motherless children who cannot keep a governess for long. What he wasn't expecting was Miss Brinley, an amateur matchmaker who turns his quest for a new wife into a complete and utter debacle. Constantly besieged by society ladies on a mission to win his affection, Walter must find a way to overcome their inundating attention—and his unexpected attraction toward Gwendolyn.

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.

    3. Lark, I think this one is funnier. It's still pretty good, but no, not quite as good as this one (to me).
