I enjoyed watching the characters grow. Learning to love and accept themselves, and ask for what they wanted. Stepping out of the shadow of everyone else’s expectations and being true to themselves. I really enjoyed the side characters too, and once I found out that this is book 3 I went back to read the others. Fun read.

I did not enjoy this installment nearly as much as the first 2. I think the concept of a daughter being beholden to her parents (particularly in the day and age of the setting of the book) and used for leverage in the marriage market is an enticing plot point, but the parents were both so odious and bland that it was hard to have any real feelings about the situation they were putting our main character in. I also found it difficult to like and root for either main character which meant that I just read the book to get through it. I will continue with the series, but I truly hope the author is able to capture the charm of the first two novels as she continues on.

To Marry and to Meddle was just okay for me. It has a decent level of spice, but I just never started caring about any of the characters. It is the third in a series, so maybe that explains my lack of connection.

Emily is a little too passive for me and Julian felt like he was trying to embody too many tropes. Was he protective, was he progressive with letting Emily be her own person, was he grouchy? He just never felt fleshed out to me.

I also didn’t love how they got together. It felt too convenient and I usually adore marriage of convenience. I kept trying to figure out the point of it all. The relationship’s development didn’t feel genuine or organic to me, either.

It’s a “fine” Regency romance if you’re looking one. Maybe read the first two books in the series first, though! Thank you for the opportunity to read and review To Marry and to Meddle. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for giving me free access to the advanced copy of this book to read.

Another great following story to To Love and to Loath. I loved Julien and Emily. As usual I could do with a LITTLE more steam, maybe hear Julien be a bit more naughty to entice Emily. Sexual tension is HR is always so good. But ultimately I loved these two together. I never doubted their companionship and Julien’s care for Emily’s feelings is so swoon worthy!

I was not a huge fan of this story in general. I just couldn’t get into the characters. Their didn’t seem to be any chemistry to them at all and the first steamy scene gave me a creep vibe.

After six seasons as a debutante, no one wants to marry Lady Emily Turner because of her father's gambling debts. When Lord Julian Belfry (the second son of a marquess) proposes a marriage of convenience in order to help legitimize his theatre, Emily agrees.

This is my favorite of the Regency Vows novels. It was fun, and it was funny!

I liked the two main characters a lot and loved their interplay and situations especially around the theatre

Fun and flirty read! Not my favorite in the series but I have always enjoyed a marriage of convenience! The chemistry was great, the banter was cute. There was a lot of character growth and fun secondary characters that I hope we continue reading about!

I love waters books and loved the ones in the series so far tans this is no different. Book one was my favorite but this was better than book two for me. I loved seeing how this series long story finally worked itself out. I loved the hero and heroine which is rare for me, it starts strong and really stayed together until the end, waters really knows what the reader needs and wants to know. Perfect balance and swoon worthy indeed.

To Marry and Metal is a regency romance novel between Lady Emily Turner and Lord Julian Belfry. They soon become a marriage for convenience and has some humor sprinkled in the mix. I found the plot to little lacking and found myself not as interested in the story as time progressed.

I received an ARC from Netgalley. This book was fun. I like the methods that Jane went to in order to try and convince Penvale to leave

I think I missed the second book in this series which left me confused at parts. I wish I would have before starting this because I felt as if we landed in the middle of a story and I wasnt caught up. I wish there had been a bit more backstory but the book overall was fun and interesting. I really enjoyed that there wasnt an ending breakup or drama.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Ever since Bridgerton, I've been getting really into this era of romance novels, and this was no exception. I loved these two characters and the way they came together. Martha waters' writing was really well done, and I thought the story progressed nicely. I definitely need to check out the other books in this companion series that she's written, and I highly recommend this to fans of Bridgerton. A little less steamy, but just as entertaining.

To Marry and to Meddle by Martha Waters is the third book in The Regency Vows series. Emily and Julian are just meant to be. At least that is how I've felt since they were introduced in the other books. I'll admit I wanted more out of this book for them. Don't get me wrong, I still had my enjoyment, laughs and eyerolls. I did feel their constant back and forth on the marriage of convenience was drawn out and the relationship progression was off. I would've loved more of them setting off the chemistry meter and having bantering hilarity as they grew closer. Instead this felt more inner monologue than action.

I still adore the hell out of this series. I enjoyed revisiting my favorite characters and the final happily ever after. I'll be keeping my eye out for more from Waters! Thank you Atria for a gifted digital copy in exchange for an honest review. True rating 3.5/5.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.

Marrying Lord Julian Belfry was not what Lady Emily Turner expected to happen when she attended a house party with her friends. Since meeting Julian a few months ago, Emily has been drawn to him, but her mother has a different plan for her, and Emily is barely allowed any freedom. But Julian wants to marry a respectable lady, and gain a wife and hostess who can help him turn his theatre from one where men take their mistresses, to one where all of society are entertained. A marriage of convenience it may have started, but soon some rather inconvenient feelings start making themselves known.

When we met Julian and Emily in the first book, it was clear that they would have a story at some point. I loved the strength that Emily had in this book, or at least developed after her marriage. As the only daughter of a marquess, she was to be paraded around by her mother as the perfect debutante - particularly when her brother is killed in a duel and causes a scandal. And when her father becomes indebted to a heinous hell owner, and Emily needs to placate him for the past three seasons, she's ready for freedom. And Julian more than offers it. They both go into the marriage with open eyes, and the swiftness of the nuptials is crucial for Emily to gain her freedom. Her family are less than happy with who she's married to, and who has allowed her to use her backbone and her voice. Julian, on the other hand, has been estranged from his parents after opening his theatre - and sometimes acting too - and he wants the theatre to become respectable mainly to please his father. There were times I wanted to give him a shake, but Emily showed him he was loved no matter what, and may have meddled a little to get her father-in-law to come on side. I loved the final chapters, and I'm really hoping that Emily and Julian will be large parts of book 4!

To Marry and to Meddle by Martha Waters brings readers back to the Regency Vows series to explore the chemistry between Lady Emily Turner and Lord Julian Belfry. Lady Turner has been on the deb scene for six seasons which anyone who reads Regency romances knows is... a lot. Lord Belfry is not without his own scandals. Cue...a marriage of convenience!

What makes Waters stand out is her sly humor and character development.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

I had high hopes for this one but for some reason I just could not get behind the character and their love story. By the end I wasnt even convinced that they were actually in love which considering its a romance is not the best sign. I have friends that absolutely love this book but unfortunately it was a miss for me.
