Regency Matchmaker Book 3
Despite not having a great start in life, Seraphina never gave up hope that good fortune would smile upon her. Just when things are looking most dire for her, she is whisked off to a new life at Primrose Park, home of Lady Tempest Knox and her husband, James.
When it is time for Seraphina to be married, Lady Tempest knows there is only one person up to the task – Lady Ambrosia, Matchmaker to the Discerning.
Dr. Lucas Spencer, the most eligible bachelor in the village of Briar Glen, is shocked by the lengths to which the local ladies – and their mothers – will go to ensnare him in marriage. Looking for a proper bride to share his life, he contacts Lady Ambrosia.
Seraphina has never met a man as handsome as Lucas, and when he boldly informs her that marriage to him will include firm discipline, Seraphina’s heart melts for her stern husband.
Lucas and Seraphina are well on their way to happily ever after. But will a secret from Seraphina’s past tear them apart forever?
This is book three in the Regency Matchmaker Series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. Publisher’s Note: This steamy historical romance contains elements of power exchange.
My Review:
This just might be my favorite in the series. The connection between Seraphina and Lucas sparks from the page in their every encounter. And the intrigue that closes out the book is compelling. This story is a bit of a slower build, and that worked for the book, however I was extremely frustrated with the apparent naiveté of Seraphina. I mean, she grew up in a brothel. I find it extremely difficult to believe that she has no knowledge whatsoever of what goes on between a man and a woman. But otherwise, I enjoyed Lucas’s alpha presence and the lighthearted style of this story. I read a borrowed copy of this book.
