Gwendolyn Brinley finds herself as a paid companion to a matchmaker for a season, and soon promoted to assistant matchmaker, against her better judgment.

They never fail to bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. If you have ever read any of my reviews, you know I'm not a big fan of historical fiction, but I make an exception for Jen Turano's books. I found this book an absolute delight to read! The more time they spend together throughout the Newport Season, the harder it is for Gwendolyn to find Walter a wife when she realizes his perfect match might be. Constantly besieged by society ladies on a mission to win his affection, Walter must find a way to overcome their inundating attention-and his unexpected attraction toward Gwendolyn. What he wasn't expecting was Miss Brinley, an amateur matchmaker who turns his quest for a new wife into a complete and utter debacle. Walter Townsend is reluctantly in search of a wife for the sake of his unruly motherless children who cannot keep a governess for long. Walter Townsend, the catch of the Season, but a gentleman Gwendolyn finds beyond irritating. Tasked with the daunting prospect of attaining advantageous matches for her clients, Gwendolyn soon finds herself in the employ of Mr.

She suddenly finds her summer turning anything but amusing when her employer expects her to take over responsibilities as an assistant matchmaker. Miss Gwendolyn Brinley accepted a temporary paid companion position for the Newport summer season, believing it would be a lark to spend the summer in America's most exclusive town.
