Synopsis

Chivalry is far from dead in the third novel in the "gut-wrenchingly funny" (Open Book Society) Matchmaker in Wonderland Romance series. Stranded in England without money or a ticket home, Mercy Starling takes a job working for a medieval reenactment company. Dressing in armor and wielding swords and longbows is a blast, but the best part is going to Bestwood Hall and meeting its intriguing new owner. The painfully shy Alden Ainslie is overwhelmed by the medieval reenactors who invade the Tudor house he's renovating, but he's drawn to the bubbly Mercy. And he valiantly joins in the fun, dodging not just arrows, lances, and the odd sword thrust, but also some pretty suspicious-and potentially deadly-attacks on himself. Someone wants him to give up on the house. But Alden is desperate to prove himself-and win the heart of his lady fair.

This is third in a series. You don't need to read the others before reading this one, though it probably helps. Personally, I recommend doing so if only so you'll have a better idea what to expect. Because this book has many of the same aspect as the others. So yeah. I'm finding that Katie MacAlister......more

4.5 stars This is the third book in the series, and every one has made me smile. The series is set in England around a group of Ainslie siblings, some who were born to their noble parents and some who were adopted from around the world. The first book is about the oldest who inherited the title from......more

I always enjoy a Katie MacAlister book! This one had some humorous moments and banter between the two MCs but it didn’t feel like the funny that I’m used to with Katie’s characters. Could just be me. Still a quick fun read.......more

Goodreads review by Jeanne on September 18, 2016

Funny, sometimes quite ridiculous story that was great reading, for me, at this time! The story was definitely "light", but still in its way memorable. This book was the third in a series. I am planning on reading the first two--not because I feel like I was missing something in this story (which cou......more
