Miss Camilla Pierpont, a renowned matchmaker and influential member of the New York Four Hundred, has vowed never to marry after suffering a devastating heartbreak during her debut years ago. However, when she is nearly abducted along the Hudson River, she finds herself rescued by an annoyingly outspoken, albeit fascinating, gentleman who challenges her in a manner she wasn't expecting.

After learning that Camilla Pierpont has enjoyed success with taking wayward young ladies in hand, Mr. Owen Chesterfield travels to the Hudson River Valley determined to convince Camilla to sponsor his sister, who is in desperate need of social rehabilitation.

Knowing her life is in danger, Camilla agrees to Owen's proposition and travels with him to West Virginia, finding herself charmed by the less-than-formal attitude of his small hometown, as well as by Owen himself. But danger waits in the shadows, disrupting what she knows would be the most spectacular match she's ever made-her own.

While I enjoyed the story and the humor it wasn’t my favorite! I will listen to it again because Jen Turano has an amazing gift for humor.
The narrator Did Not suit Owen, who was described as a tall, broad shoulders handsome man. I just couldn’t imagine him with a squeaky voice. The narrator did fit the other characters. I liked the fact that their was romance, mystery, and a lot of humor with a message to this book. Carrying grudges doesn’t help in creating harmony. Life is so much easier when we forgive past grievances and move on to accept people for who they are.
I loved the fact, that a person from the New York 400, could appreciate and value the people who come from A very different life style. It makes life so much more colorful when you can blend different lifestyles.
Thank you Jen for writing another great book that makes this world a brighter place.

I have generally enjoyed all the books by Jen Turano that I've read. There is always some good humor and always some outrageous situations usually the heroine gets into that make me laugh. But I'm afraid I didn't like this one as well as most of them. I'm not even sure why exactly. Some areas of the story were repetitious, so maybe I felt like it was a little too long. I had a hard time really picturing Camilla being happy living the "uncultured life" long term. Cleaning out the chicken coop is one icky task and I just don't think she will be willing to do that anytime Meemaw or the aunt calls for it. And I just wasn't sold on Camilla and Owen as a couple even if opposites attract. I was also shocked that her parents didn't put up a stink about her marrying below her position in society. Maybe I'd have enjoyed it more had I read it myself instead of listening to the audiobook since I didn't love the narration either.
I enjoyed the character of Meemaw. She was a quirky, fun character. Made me think of Granny Clampett from The Beverly Hillbillies. She and the aunt together were pretty overbearing.

Sex: no
Language: no
Violence: kidnapping, fighting off bad guys

I was extremely disappointed in the reader. She diminish the story. Her voice is high-pitched and she read too fast, which is a shame. I had anticipated this book for months. I don’t know who chose this reader, but you made a very bad choice for this book.

What a wonderful storyteller Jen Turano is you can tell. She takes time and loves her characters and she is hilarious.

The story line had some merit, but had too many characters which made it hard to follow. The theme of recipe and talk of kissing was juvenile. No real substance in story line.

Lacking depth

I think Jen Turano is my favorite author. The dialogue is witty and moves quickly and there’s always a little bit of intrigue and mystery. There are always unique characters and the men and the women shine just as brightly, not at the expense of one another. The narrator does an excellent job with the voices and makes it pure joy and escape to listen to.

Always witty with just a little intrigue. O

Jen Turano knows how to make the reader laugh, that’s for sure! From the very beginning to the very end, the banter and conversations are hilarious! The narrator is excellent and you can hear her lips twitching and eyes gleaming the whole way through! Absolutely loved this book, and this series! Clean Gilded Age rom-com at its best!!

Absolutely hilarious Gilded Age

I don’t know how a narrator gets picked to read for audible, but sometimes the wrong one causes a good story to fall flat. I don’t believe it’s Jen’s writing because I’m a long time fan of hers. The voices were all wrong and oddly matched to the characters. It also doesn’t help that in book 2 we had to adjust to a new narrator for the voices from book 1. Now we have to adjust again… Poor Arabella and Camila‘s voice are so vastly different in all three books, but this was the worst. It’s like she used a man’s voice for Arabella-which is odd and doesn’t match her personality that we’ve learned to love in book 2. Don’t get me started on Camila‘s voice for this book. She sounds like she’s a teenager not a mature woman like she sounded and book 2. I’m curious if Jen had the character talking with tons of ???? At the end of their dialogues. It constantly felt like everyone was asking questions from the way their voices would raise up at the end of their conversations.
I decided to plow through although I did speed up the narrator a bit to get through it. I kept contemplating returning the book and not finishing it.
There were all the hallmarks of a Jen T book. Which I appreciated but I can’t recommend this one. It doesn’t add or take away from the other 2 books in the series. So you’re not missing out other than finding out how Camila’s story ends. It’s too bad I was looking forward to this book.

I wanted to love it but it fell flat for me
