My Review:
To Spark a Match is the second book of The Matchmaker's series by Jen Turano. It can easily be read as a stand-alone story.
Having met Adelaide Duveen in the first book, I looked forward to learning more about her. She is even more eccentric (in the best ways) than portrayed in the first book while staying true to her character.
I am glad her story entwined with Gideon's as I was curious to know more about him than we learned in A Match for the Making.
Read for:
๐ she's prone to trouble
๐he's a rescuer
๐ bookstore drama
๐spies
๐humor
๐all the cats
๐many adventures
๐ great cast of characters
★★★★/5
Synopsis (Goodreads):
After five unsuccessful Seasons on the marriage
mart, Miss Adelaide Duveen has resigned herself to the notion that she's
destined to remain a spinster forever--a rather dismal prospect, but
one that will allow her to concentrate on her darling cats and books.
However, when she inadvertently stumbles upon Mr. Gideon Abbott engaged
in a clandestine activity during a dinner party, Adelaide finds herself
thrust into a world of intrigue that resembles the plots in the spy
novels she devours.
Former intelligence agent Gideon Abbott feels
responsible for Adelaide after society threatens to banish her because
of the distraction she caused to save his case. Hoping to return the
favor, he turns to a good friend--and one of high society's leaders--to
take Adelaide in hand and turn her fashionable.
When danger
surrounds them and Adelaide finds herself a target of the criminals in
Gideon's case, the spark of love between them threatens to be quenched
for good--along with their lives.
I'm excited to read Adelaide's story! And curious about all the cats. ;D Another one for my TBR list...but I'll be putting it near the top so it doesn't get lost or forgotten.
ReplyDeleteLark, LOL, I understand that! I created a "monthly" TBR shelf on my Goodreads page to help me keep up with those I want to read sooner rather than later.
