About this ebook

"Turano takes readers on a lighthearted romp through matchmaking season . . . . This is a delight."--Publishers Weekly on A Match in the Making

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 investigation. 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.

She’s a smart, kind, resigned spinster, & definite cat & book lover. She also has a habit of finding trouble. If there’s danger, fire, intrigue, or mystery, she’ll stumble into it. Filled with laugh out loud humor, romance, a mystery full of twists and turns, and the craziest of situations, this gilded age charming book definitely warmed my heart.

This is book two in the Matchmaker Series, yet is is a stand alone book. I always love the writing style of Jen Turano. Her books are always full of sparks, spunk, humor, romance and so much more. Adelaide seams to always find herself in some crazy circumstances, when she would really just love to spend time with her cats and her books. When she finds the handsome Gideon Abbott in a rather awkward place, she decides she must help him. Gideon and Adelaide are not meeting for the first time, in
