Good book

This is a novella. Ladies of the quality do not engage in anything approaching trade. Well, unless they have the camouflage of a widowed aunt to be the face of an enterprise, and grant it respectability. Amelia Remington believes that she will continue as she has been, helping others find the perfect match, and never marrying herself. It is a belief which is sorely challenged by a most unusual customer, and a series of events which begin to unravel everything she has built for herself. Can she trust the solution she is offered? Or is love too much to risk? I own a copy of this book. This in no way affects my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

The only thing that makes this book Christmassy at all is that in one scene there's mistletoe, so the title is a bit misleading. I did enjoy this short read though, with its quirky, dyslexic, Welsh MMC who doesn't quite understand the rules of London society. The FMC was less interesting, but fine.

As a side note, this book definitely needed another pass by a proofreader, ideally one who has a stronger grasp of capitalization and comma rules.

Cute. For as intelligent as David feels that Amelia is, neither understands the truth of what her widowed aunt getting married meant for Amelia's matchmaking business...something that was obvious to me as a reader. I was intrigued to note that neither David nor Amelia was aware of their sexuality. That was actually sweet, charming, and funny. :)

A fun look at Regency restrictions as Amelia hopes to continue her match making business in spite of a smitten Welsh Marquess (with a bit of a problem himself) wanting to marry her, and her aunt finding a lost love. An enjoyable read.

Amelia was headstrong, but David was more, lol. I enjoyed this one.
