A Matchmaker for a Marquess by Christi CaldwellMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Matchmaker for a Marquess by Christi Caldwell is book Three in The Heart of a Scandal Series. This is the story of Barry Aberdeen and Meredith 'Mare' Durant. I did feel this could be a standalone book if you wish to do so. We do get to see some past characters so that is always a bonus for me!
Meredith's father worked for the Duke of Gayle which lead her to be best friends with his daughter Emilia and friends with her little brother Barry. But then her father health to a turn and Meredith left the only home she really knew along with her friends. Now in the present (several years later) Meredith is a Matchmaker with a successful reputation, but her heart is harden to love for herself. Barry is to inherit his father's title, the Duke of Gayle. Barry knows now that his sister is married, his mother is turning her eye to him to make a match. Meredith ends up being hired by the Duchess of Gayle to find her son Barry a wife. Barry is just a few years younger than Meredith who acts so much different than the Meredith he used to know...he sets out to loosen her tightly tide attitude. Of course feelings start to become engaged which can only lead to hurt Meredith thinks but of course love always wins in the end.
Loved this story and I cannot say how big a fan I am of Ms. Caldwell's writing. Although this was somewhat lighter in story it still moved me like no other author can do. If you haven't read a book by Ms. Caldwell then you are missing some great stories....I highly recommend her books.
