Every reader has that one book that spoke to them when they
were younger. That one author that opened your mind to the
world of romance and showed you that happily ever after
might be true. Johanna Lindsey was that author for me. From
the first book I read at age seventeen I have collected them
all over the years. I am very glad that my collection
continues to grow. LET LOVE FIND YOU is a wonderful
addition and featured a character whose story I have been
hoping for. I have loved Amanda Locke's character in past
books, Rogue of My Own & Devil Who Tamed Her, and was
really hoping that Ms. Lindsey would give Amanda her own
story. LET LOVE FIND YOU gave me the same Amanda that I have
come to know and brought me even closer to her.
Another thing I loved about LET LOVE FIND YOU was the fact
that Lindsey includes past characters. I love the little
updates we get on them and the glimpse into what their lives
are like now. The connections between characters from one
book to another is just another little added bonus that I
have come to expect from Lindsey. She has created stories
within stories within stories and I am a big fan!
Amanda Locke has not found a husband and not for lack of
trying. She has tried for several seasons, but no one has
given her that spark. That feeling when you just know that
this is the one that you cannot live without. Amanda has
watched virtually all of her friends find husbands, get
married, and begin families of their own. Yet here she sits
-- unmarried and almost to the point of being on the shelf!
Devin Baldwin is making his own way in the world. On one
side he has become known as being a sort of matchmaker.
People have taken to calling him "Cupid" when that is not
what he is at all. Matchmaking should be looked at the same
way as breeding. It is the animal attraction that will make
the difference, not the family backgrounds, not the
connections, and not the money the couple has. Devin is used
to breeding horses, and he is good at it too! Well he was
until strange things began to happen, like a fire in one of
the barns. It seems that someone is out to make him fail,
but Devin has other plans. Those plans do not include
giving riding lessons to a spoiled girl who is afraid of
horses. Those plans do not include giving her lessons on
love or instructing her where she is going wrong with her
suitors. Lastly those lessons most certainly do not include
the fact that Amanda Locke is taking up entirely too many of
his thoughts even when she isn't around.
I know that many readers will say that this story was
familiar -- horse breeder and the girl almost on the shelf.
However, the story is not so much about the horse breeder
as it is about the hero playing cupid for the heroine. I
found this aspect of the story original and very very funny!
Men are generally not seen as matchmakers and a man using
his horse breeding skills to find matches for people is a
really funny and yet somewhat true concept. I for one have
never been disappointed by Ms. Lindsey and do not expect to
ever be. Thank you for Amanda's story I look forward to many
many more!
#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna
Lindsey’s dazzling new tale of a desperate debutante whose
family hires an innovative matchmaker to ensure her marriage
features one of Lindsey’s most beloved heroines: Amanda
Locke, sister to dashing Rafe Locke from the “elegantly
sensual” (Booklist) The Devil Who Tamed
Her!
London society has its very own Cupid.
Renowned horse breeder and occasional matchmaker Devin
Baldwin pairs eligible young ladies with suitable gentlemen
based on his theory of animal magnetism. Unafraid of
ruffling the ton’s feathers, this darkly handsome
Cupid doles out tips for bettering one’s chances of meeting
a mate that are as pointed as the love legend’s sharpest
arrows!
Lovely Amanda Locke, the daughter of a duke,
is everything a nobleman could desire, yet she enters her
third Season still searching for a match. Gossipmongers’
tongues are wagging, and her mystified family is considering
drastic measures to find her a husband. But the insufferable
advice of this Cupid fellow is the last thing Amanda wants.
When an earl passionate about horses becomes the
target of her husband hunt, Amanda knows it’s time to
overcome her fear of riding. With her sister-in-law Ophelia
hastening the romance along by arranging riding lessons,
Amanda is soon taking instruction from infuriating Devin
Baldwin. Astonishingly, in her daily encounters with
Devin—who treats her as an ordinary young woman, not a prize
to be won at the marriage mart—Amanda experiences passion
for the first time. Now, her search for a match takes her in
an unexpected direction as she finds herself falling in love
with Cupid himself.
Delivering the “potent, sexy
chemistry” (Booklist) and witty repartee for which
she is adored, Johanna Lindsey shines with this sparkling
new novel.
