Soo good! I enjoyed every minute of this book! I was able to get an ARC for the Audio through Netgalley. The dual narrators were wonderful. I think they are different than the first two Audio books in this series: The Matchmaking Mama's. The premise is that the mom's of 'The Rebels' get together under the guise of a music group to matchmake their children. Each one of these books have been very different and good in their own right. They all have no swears, no alcohol, and kissing only.

This is book 3 in the series but it definitely works as a standalone. However, the other two are fantastic so I recommend them! Anyway, this time we are back with Miles and Jemma. Poor Miles, he loves Jemma so much but she just doesn’t see it or want to see it. She thinks Miles and Lisette are destined to be married. Jemma made a promise to her grandmother to fall in love and marry. So she enlists the matchmaking mamas help and they find her a suitor. But she doesn’t know the first thing about love so she asks for Miles to teach her. Again, poor Miles, but he agrees. As they spend more time together, Jemma realizes she may have feelings for Miles!
I really loved this story! I felt bad for Miles, he tried so hard to get Jemma and she just keeps being stubborn! I thought it hilarious that Miles was a vicar and had so many women after him. I really enjoyed how Miles and Jemma got together it was so sweet. I also listened to the audiobook and thought it was great. I really loved how there were two narrators! I can’t wait for the next story!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from netgalley All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Wow definitely a book of managing and meeting expectations. A lovely book of friends who fall in love but are forced into situations some beyond their control. Good dialogue, good characters overall a nice feel good book. The narration was great, but I am a huge fan of Mary Jane.

Squuuueeeealllll!!! I’m in Regency heaven! Well, if you can call being rapturously tortured by a kinda/sorta love triangle heaven. It isn’t usually for me but…oh…my…word!!!!!!! Miles as the silently besotted friend, forced to assist Jemma in her bid to make herself fall in love with another man. Gasp! My emotions were in tatters for most of the book .

I have a certain fondness for brooding heroes, though I will confess wanting to throttle Miles on more than one occasion during the course of this read. He’s his own worst enemy — being all noble and vicar-ish. Bwahaha! So much of his misery is caused because he doesn’t take action so situations spiral out of control and it sent me into a tizzy of the vapours. I so needed my fainting couch to see my way safely through to this happily every after.

And while it might sound like the dreaded LT is all angst…it isn’t really because it’s obvious that Jemma and Mr. Bentley are not a good match. And, the author has written some truly hilarious scenes that make this more of a lighthearted read. Plus, I could clearly see ahead of a few of the plot twists so that provided me with a comforting safeguard and upped by bibliophile bravery so I could soldier on.

And then, oh….my….THUD…when Miles finally makes his move! Toe-curls and swoons ensued and I was one very happy reader.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening the audio edition of this novel. Mary Jane Wells and James Joseph’s performances were stellar! They captured all the angst and the humour to perfection.

Of note: This is the third book in the ‘Matchmaking Mamas’ series but can easily be read as a standalone. I haven’t read the other books…yet…and I had no problem jumping into the series here.

My thanks to the publisher, Dreamscape Select and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

I really enjoyed the Gentlemen’s Confession, and devoured it in a single sitting.

The writing was engaging and perfectly captured the regency context, characters and setting. Gemma and Miles shared a similar dynamic with Emma and Mr Knightly, which I loved. Whilst based on a miscommunication, which isn’t normally a favourite, it felt authentic, and the ending beautifully wrapped it up and justified this trope.

The narration was engaging and both narrators did an amazing job of capturing the voices of not only the main characters but the various supporting characters. The dual narration brought a wonderful depth to the story which Jemma and Miles banter all the more biting!

Thank you Dreamscape Media for a copy of this audiobook. Opinions expressed are my own.

I love the characters and writing style in this book. The narration is entertaining. I’m not a fan of the “it was all just a misunderstanding” trope, where the conflict could be removed with a conversation. The pacing of the book is too slow for me.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.
