Lady Belinda Featherstone is a matchmaker who guides young American heiresses through a London season to find a husband. Having been one of these girls herself, she takes extra care to steer the girls away from rouges like Nicholas, Marquess of Trubidge. When he hires her to find him a wealthy wife, Belinda believes she can easily find him a bride he deserves, but after a heart stopping kiss Belinda realizes her task may not be so easy, and starts to wonder if Nicholas is meant to be her perfect match.

Laura Lee Guhrke has written a sweet and charming romance. The plot is interesting and creative, and I fell in love with the idea of a financially independent woman navigating the ton as a matchmaker. Belinda is a very well - rounded and well developed character. She was once just like the girls she helps find husbands for, and her empathy and understanding of these naive and innocent young women make Belinda a character readers will adore.

Nicholas is a refreshing romance hero. He is truthful to others, and eventually betters himself, not because Belinda magically changes him, but because he wants to earn her respect and respect for himself. This makes their relationship real and believable.

WHEN THE MARQUESS MET HIS MATCH has wonderful secondary characters. The innocent Rosalie, the charming Edith, and the conniving Landsdowne bring witty dialogue and added depth to the story. Guhrke has written a lovely romance filled with delightful characters and an inventive plot.
