About the Book A Match in the Making

Miss Gwendolyn Brinley accepted a temporary paid companion position for the Newport summer season, believing it would be a lark to spend the summer in America’s most exclusive town. She suddenly finds her summer turning anything but amusing when her employer expects her to take over responsibilities as an assistant matchmaker. Tasked with the daunting prospect of attaining advantageous matches for her clients, Gwendolyn soon finds herself in the company of Mr. Walter Townsend, the catch of the Season, but a gentleman Gwendolyn finds beyond annoying.

Walter is reluctantly in search of a wife for his unruly motherless children. What he wasn’t expecting was Miss Brinley, who turns his quest for a new wife into a complete and utter debacle.

The more time they spend together throughout the Newport Season, the harder it is for Gwendolyn to find Walter a wife when she realizes his perfect match might be . . . her.

My Thoughts on A Match in the Making

Oh my! I loved this book. A Match in the Making is truly a wonderful book! Jen Turano knows how to spin a good tale and I knew this was going to be another one of them!

I loved getting to know Gwendolyn. But I think the precocious and rather naughty twins might be a favorite of mine. With 12 kids of my own, I know all about their antics. Little did Gwendolyn know when she accepted a paid companion position that she’d be coerced into being a matchmaker.

She’s actually quite good at it though! She’s much more concerned for matters of the heart though and not social standing. Gwendolyn wants people to love who they marry before they marry. She wants everyone to have a marriage of love and not of convenience.

When she meets Mr Walter Townsend sparks fly. He’s in the market for a new wife and mother to his three children. He’s not interested in love. Rather, he just wants someone to mother his unruly brood. They’re rather horrible but really they’re just crying out for love and attention.

Walter decides he needs Gwendolyn to find his bride for him after he’s inundated with women. They are truly all over him and he’s overwhelmed. But Gwendolyn isn’t going to make this easy. She’s going to make him think and possibly fall in love.

I can’t give away any more than this but do know this is a wonderful read that took no time at all to read through. There is some suspense and a little mystery as well. Plus Gwendolyn has a lot of surprises up her sleeve as well.
