The Matchmaker's Request

Written by Ashtyn Newbold

Narrated by Christine Rendel

His new challenge: Keep himself from falling in love again at all costs.

At odds with love, Matthew Northcott has firmly decided that he will never marry, much to the dismay of his relatives . . . and nearly every young lady he meets. Rather than seek a marriage for himself, he attempts to find matches for others, grateful to see that love is not entirely cruel-just cruel to him.

When a letter arrives from Matthew's friend Jack, asking an immense favor from him, Matthew undertakes a new challenge: Find a husband for Jack's spinster sister, Miss Cassandra Warwick before the end of the season. Though a strange request, Matthew is determined to help his friend. But as he comes to know Cassandra and the circumstances which placed her in his path, he begins to wonder who the matchmaker truly is.

Reviews for The Matchmaker's Request

[Berly · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I have a weakness for well-dressed men on book covers, especially when they are alone. I remember seeing this cover and being so drawn to it when thr book was first released.

This is the 4th book in the Larkhall Letters series by Ashtyn Newbold. It is a standalone book, but the characters have been introduced in previous stories. This is especially so of Matthew, who plays a significant roll in those other books. To get more of his back story, you may want to read the series in order, but it isn't necessary for the plot of this one.

I thought there were several humorous moments in this book, as there were in the others. I enjoyed seeing Matthew and Cassandra muddle through the rigors of the London season while doing their best to fight their attraction to each other.

This is the same narrator as in the other books in this series and I've grown accustomed to her reading and the character voices she uses.
