Goodreads review by Alex on July 15, 2021

I really enjoyed the second book in the series. However, not as much as the first book. I really like how the importance of family is a major theme throughout the book. The fighting is pretty entertaining to read as well😂 One aspect of this book I’m not sure how I feel about is whenever the 2 main c......more

Goodreads review by Koki on April 08, 2017

Sarah nie je klasickou hrdinkou, ktorá počas spoločenských podujatí sedí v kúte a čaká na svojho princa. Nie, Sarah vyhľadáva dobrodružstvo a svojou spontánnosťou a zvedavosťou sa neraz dostáva do nebezpečných situácií, ktoré nemôžu končiť inak ako škandálom, ba dokonca núteným sobášom! Našťastie si......more

Goodreads review by Sabrina on March 08, 2010

If you enjoyed Rexanne's other Regency-set book, Dangerous to Love, you'll love this series, too. They're not your average family series. The heroines of the first and second books are half-sisters. The hero of the third book is the illegitimate nephew of the hero of the first book. And the upcoming......more

Quotes

From Publishers Weekly
A sequel to Becnel's The Matchmaker, this serviceable Regency-era romance offers up a charming heroine and a hero who's not as self-sufficient as he'd like to be. Sarah Palmer is the novel's troublemaker, but she doesn't really make trouble; trouble finds her. Having been packed off to Scotland after nearly eloping with a fortune-hunter, Sarah is determined to prove that she's changed. But no sooner does she arrive in sleepy Kelso than she meets handsome American Marshall MacDougal. Years ago, Marsh's mother emigrated to America to await his father, who never showed. Marsh is now searching for his birthright, and he finds Sarah and her family squarely in his way. Although sparks fly between the two, Sarah's determination to handle this problem herself complicates matters. Becnel's books are generally darker than the typical Regency fare this one revolves around questions of legitimacy but the novel's serious underpinnings provide grounding for Sarah's flighty nature. As the hero, Marsh is also flawed. His (admittedly justified) bitterness grows old quickly, and the negative feelings that simmer between Sarah and Marsh at times overwhelm their budding affection for each other. Still, the story is warm and well paced and will likely please new readers and longtime fans alike.
