About the Book
Euphemia Templeton can’t wait to put the London season behind her forever, but before she can retire to the country in blessed obscurity, she has one final promise to keep. She must find a proper match for Lady Harriett Fairmont, who is embarking on her second season.
Matchmaking is easy for a lady with Phee’s skills, but when Harriett’s elder brother James, the arrogant, infuriating, and far too handsome Earl of Fairmont accompanies his sister to London, she soon has cause to regret her promise.
James doesn’t believe in matchmaking, he doesn’t approve of Harriett’s favored swain, and most of all, he doesn’t trust Euphemia Templeton, no matter how clever she is, or how charmingly her lips purse when he argues with her.
James and Phee challenge each other at every turn, but when a battle of wills becomes a battle for hearts, will Phee discover the only lady in London she can’t successfully match is…herself?

Review
This is a light, enemies to lovers novella. Euphemia’s character growth was clearly shown through her learning to face her fears in various situations. James doesn’t like Euphemia at the start of the story since she’s in London to help his sister find a match and Euphemia’s previous attempt to matchmake had been a disaster. His feelings for her change as they spend time together, as does his stance when it comes to matters involving his sister.
The romance didn’t feel rushed to me since the progression was shown through the inner thoughts of Euphemia and James throughout the story.
I recommend this book for anyone looking for a quick, enjoyable historical romance read.
Thank you to NetGalley, Oliver Heber Books, and the author for providing the review copy.
