About this listen

In the first of a dazzling new series, USA Today best-selling author Laura Lee Guhrke introduces London's most renowned matchmaker - and a scoundrel intent on seducing his way to the altar.

She's the matchmaker...

Lady Belinda Featherstone's job is to guide American heiresses to matrimony, and away from men like Nicholas, Marquess of Trubridge. But the charming, disreputable marquess needs a wealthy bride, and he hires Belinda to help him find one. Her task seems easy: find that scoundrel the sort of wife he so richly deserves. But Nicholas' hot, searing kiss soon proves her task will be anything but easy.

He's the perfect match...

Nicholas plans to wed a rich, pretty young darling to restore his fortune, and he's happy to pay a marriage broker to help him. But one taste of Belinda's lips and Nicholas' sensible scheme to marry for money goes awry, and he yearns to show his beautiful matchmaker he's the perfect match...for her.

From the very beginning there is a lot of conflict and unreasonable anger. Heroine, of course, has her reasons but she is also idiotically persistent in denying the obvious: dissolute English peers did marry upstart American heiress for fair exchange, title and position in society for large dowries, love had nothing to do with it.
From the very beginning I rooted for rakish but honest Hero and disliked the straight laced prim and proper Lady from Ohio. I could see where the plot would go from there, though conflict and a lot of angst two wounded people would come together eventually and in the end Marquis would possibly find himself a useful purpose in life (purpose that makes money). Imagine a future Duke with a job!

This book is obviously very popular amongst other readers but unfortunately it wasn’t for me, I stoped after hour and a half.
