Author: Jen Turano
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Release Date: February 21, 2023
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 employ of Mr. Walter Townsend, the catch of the Season, but a gentleman Gwendolyn finds beyond irritating.
Walter Townsend is reluctantly in search of a wife for the sake of his unruly motherless children who cannot keep a governess for long. What he wasn't expecting was Miss Brinley, an amateur matchmaker who turns his quest for a new wife into a complete and utter debacle. Constantly besieged by society ladies on a mission to win his affection, Walter must find a way to overcome their inundating attention--and his unexpected attraction toward Gwendolyn.
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 Review
One word, Delightful! Yes, this was a fun page turning read!
We
are walking with Gwendolyn Brinley, as she hobnobs with the 400 at
summer in Newport. She has stumbled into an interesting job, she is now a
matchmaker!
This is such a enjoyable read, yes, filled with some
very snobby people, but, we also meet some sweet, kind and lovable
individuals, and some of those are children! Wait til you go fishing!
How about a dark closet?
I have read many books by this author, and I really can't choose a favorite, but this one stands up as one of the best!
I am thrilled that there are more books to come in this Matchmaker series!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
