Reviews for The Matchmaker's Match

[crystalcollier-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's rare I read a book where I just want to linger (because of the author's beautiful language/writing) and can't stop myself from burning through it. I was 100% immersed. This is a CLEAN regency romance with all the fun of a historical setting and all the joy of suppressed attraction, societal expectations, and a need to be proper. I hate to say it, but I'm disgruntled. Thoroughly. WHY DID THE BOOK HAVE TO END?! The characters are engaging. Their struggles are solid. The developing romance is so sweet, and the external conflicts make for a compelling plot. I've read far too many romances where the plot is the romance. *snore* How about some depth, people? Life is never about merely falling love. It's about the people who surround us and the external pull each one holds over our hearts, energy, and focus. I adored the emphasis on family and the values the story embraces.About the actual writing... Having penned a few things in the past, I was in absolute awe at how many different ways the author showed the characters responses/emotions. Every single reaction was unique. Do you have any idea how much effort/attention/time it takes to make EACH sigh, look, or touch completely unique for an ENTIRE NOVEL? Yeah. Blown away. I have to applaud Ms. Nelson for a job VERY well done.And did I mention I wanted to stay with the characters a bit longer? --Not because the plot didn't tie up nicely, but because I loved the book. Loved. I was ready for another regency from this author as soon as I closed the cover. (Come on, Jessica. Give me another, eh?)If you love regency romance, read this book.Content warning: NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Hand this story to your five year old and you won't have a single reason to blush. ...Not saying a five year old would appreciate the story...
