about the book
Miss Camilla Pierpont, a renowned matchmaker and influential member of the New York Four Hundred, has vowed never to marry after suffering a devastating heartbreak during her debut years ago. However, when she is nearly abducted along the Hudson River, she finds herself rescued by an annoyingly outspoken, albeit fascinating, gentleman who challenges her in a manner she wasn't expecting.
After learning that Camilla Pierpont has enjoyed success with taking wayward young ladies in hand, Mr. Owen Chesterfield travels to the Hudson River Valley determined to convince Camilla to sponsor his sister, who is in desperate need of social rehabilitation.
Knowing her life is in danger, Camilla agrees to Owen's proposition and travels with him to West Virginia, finding herself charmed by the less-than-formal attitude of his small hometown, as well as by Owen himself. But danger waits in the shadows, disrupting what she knows would be the most spectacular match she's ever made--her own.

review
when the romance kicks off with the heroine mistaking the hero as her would-be abductor, i know it's going to be a good one...
camilla pierpont has been a recurring character in the matchmakers series, and it's finally time for her to "meet her match." of course, owen chesterfield stumbles into her life at the exact wrong time and makes a disastrous first impression. still, camilla can't turn down his request to help his sister with her social presence and reputation—and off they go to west virginia.
her new-york sensibilities are put to quite the test with owen's family, and many hilarious moments ensue in the (endearing) clash of cultures: chores to do, animals to face, family members to meet (and an apple pie recipe to avoid), a sister to reform—and some very real danger to escape. every step of this story makes it quite the adventure, and i so enjoyed all the fun of this opposites-attract romance.
it is a delight to see camilla and owen, unlikely as their pairing may seem, find each other amidst the chaos around them. their banter is always entertaining, and i just found it so easy to root for them.
i couldn't help smiling the whole way through jen turano's meeting her match. it makes a perfect series conclusion with its romance and humor, adventure and danger, heart and faith. readers of historical romance (and rom-coms) are sure to have as much fun with this one as i did.
i received a complimentary copy from the publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.
considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only
—faith: mentions of God, church, and the bible
—content: attempted abduction, mentions of guns, violence, asylums, and drugging
