“Miss Adeline’s Match” by Joanna Barker

I really enjoyed this clean Regency Romance! Great characters, interesting story line, and good steady pace.

I especially liked Adeline and Evan’s friendship and banter back and forth, which is surprising for that time period (and I loved it!). I laughed and I cried along with the characters in this book. Once I started reading I didn’t want to put it down! I wanted to keep reading so I could figure out what happened to Charity’s past relationship and whether Adeline would change her mind about marriage as well.

I especially liked reading about the fox hunt. The author did a wonderful job with being descriptive with the setting-I felt like I was right there with Adeline, Charity, Ethan and the others.

I truly can’t say enough good things about this book! I plan on keeping it on my bookshelf so I can read it again!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
Miss Adeline Hayes is the perfect lady’s companion: pleasant, conversational, and unceasingly proper. But when her closest friend, Charity Edgeworth, breaks off her arranged marriage without explanation, even Adeline’s superior skills are put to the test. Charity’s father banishes the two young women to the country, sending Adeline with a charge to find Charity a husband—or suffer dire consequences.

As Adeline takes on the role of reluctant matchmaker, she discovers more than one obstacle in her path. Not only does Charity prefer escaping in books to socializing, but Adeline soon finds her own attentions distracted by the standoffish—and irritatingly handsome—Mr. Evan Whitfield. Amidst an eventful foxhunt and the unexpected arrival of Charity’s former betrothed, Adeline simply doesn’t have time for a battle of wits with Evan. But the two are continually drawn together until Adeline begins to question her tightly guarded convictions about love and marriage.

However, when secrets are revealed and truths made known, Adeline must face her most fearsome obstacle yet: herself.
