A Matchmaker's Match

Reviews

[elstaffe · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid, semi-screwball Regency.

[Susan · Rating 1 out of 5]

The premise had potential, but the execution was terrible. No character development, all tell and no show, and very thin plot. Nothing really happens, and it's very repetitive.
