Lady Henrietta Thorndike hides her lonely heart behind playing cupid - some might accuse her of interfering, but she prefers to think of it as improving other people's lives!
But Robert Montemorcy knows it has to stop - his ward has just fled from a compromising situation in London, and the last thing she needs is to be embroiled in Henri's compulsive matchmaking! He bets Henri that she won't be able to resist meddling...only to lose his own heart into the bargain!

I ordered this because the reviews were lyrical - five stars! It just shows you can never trust other people's opinions because in my view this book was way below par. If you create a widow as someone mourning her dead husband forever and deeply concerned for her reputation and then have her start a wild affair, something seems wrong with the character arc. I have already forgotten the story. But everyone's opinion is subjective so you will have to make up your own mind> But if I were you, I'd buy this title at a charity shop.

When I started TO MARRY A MATCHMAKER, I instantly thought of Emma and Mr. Knightley. Henrietta and Robert are friends, make wagers, have arguments, and joke with each other. But neither truly realizes how important they are to each other, and that friendship and passion are not exclusive from love.
Henri has held on to her grief and guilt about her first husband's death for too long and lets their relationship form the yardstick by which she measures love, and contents herself with matchmaking for others. Robert challenges her to a wager that she will not interfere with other's lives - just as his ward comes to the northeastern town of Corbridge on the cusp of a scandal involving none other than Henri's cousin, Sebastien, a rake of the first order. Now Henri is sworn to stay out of it or else lose the wager. On top of it all, the attraction she feels for Robert is blooming into something more, confusing everything.
The ending is truly lovely, and the story is warm, intimate, and witty. This is quite possibly my favourite tale from Michelle Styles!

To Marry a Matchmaker (Historical)
TO MARRY A MATCHMAKER by HM&B Historical author Michelle Styles is a fabulous story of a widow who doesn't want to remarry and a hard working self-made man, who is not titled and couldn't care less about the aristocracy.
Lady Henrietta Thorndike, a widow for ten years, keeps herself busy by matchmaking people and getting them to marry. She also organizes the village social life.
Robert Montemorcy feels she is meddling in people's lives. Yet he enjoys battling with her verbally. He feels the sparks fly each time they meet. Enforced by circumstance to live under the same roof, both realize their attraction to each other.
But Henri is not ready to remarry, is she?
Henri's story is told with such sensitivity and tenderness that we feel we know her. She is hiding her grief and guilt over her husband's death.
To Marry a Matchmaker is a well-woven historical tale which has engaging characters and is filled with good dialogue and delightful resolution. The hero appears uncompromising and domineering on the outside but is really intensely emotional and tender on the inside.
Henri is a fantastic heroine whose superficial exterior belies a generous spirit and a very big heart. Robert and Henri catches your attention and your heart.
