Regency Matchmaker Book 2

William I am William St. Clair, and I first fell in love in my youth. I had grand plans to propose to Calliope on her eighteenth birthday. Due to unforeseen circumstances, namely Thomas Harley, it did not happen. I am now twenty years into service in the British Army, and known as Colonel William St. Clair, and have never stopped loving my Callie. I am in London with plans to retire and find some happiness for my future.

Calliope Although I fell in love as a young girl with William, the boy next door, I married Lord Thomas Harley and am now the Dowager Countess of Knox. And through all the years, I have never stopped thinking about William. Now widowed but still young, I want more in my life than living as a guest in the house I called home during my marriage, and I loathe the idea of being a burden to my grown son. It’s time for me to take control of my life. A visit to Lady Ambrosia, who made a wonderful match for my son and new daughter-in-law, is in order. Is there a man out there for me?

Publisher’s Note: This humorous adult romance contains elements of mystery, suspense, danger, explicit scenes and domestic discipline. If any of these elements offend you, please do not purchase. This is book two in the series but can be read as a standalone.

 

My Review:

There really isn’t anything I love more than a second chance and I loved seeing Callie and William get their shot at happily ever after. I wasn’t at all impressed with the “mystery” of the story. It inspired Callie to behave in ways that were simply too stupid to live. And for a decorated army officer, William appeared to be woefully oblivious to what was going on around him. In spite of that, I loved William. He’s strong and alpha yet he has a sweet vulnerability about him. I thought Callie behaved decades younger than her actual age, which was both fun and frustrating to watch. The chemistry between the pair is positively explosive. I especially loved that we got to check back in with Tempest and James. I read a borrowed copy of this book.
