The Viscount Who Vexed Me by Julia London

💖💖💖💖💖/5

The Viscount Who Vexed Me by Julia London, book three in her Royal Match series, is another wonderful, enjoyable, charming, humorous addition to this historical romance series where a royal needs to find a mate and hopefully a love match with the help of a determined matchmaker and recurring characters assisting.

 

Matchmaker Lady Aleksander has her most challenging match to date. The Duke of Santiava now has the title of Viscount Abbott, and according to everyone but him, Mateo is in need of a wife. He is an introvert and barely social, only as necessary as his title demands. Trying to understand and get a handle on his grandfather’s estate he is advised to hire someone to help him with his correspondence since English isn’t his native language.

Hattie Woodchurch has had a most usual upbringing, her family is most difficult and her father a rich penny-pinching merchant who is not a member of polite society. Her only escape is to earn money to escape the madness of the household. When Lord Iddesleigh suggests she interview for the new Viscount she sees a way to earn the much needed money. When Hattie meets Mateo and he barely says two words, she of course needs to fill in the awkward silence. Mateo couldn’t believe the women, she seems to have no fear of his title. And now the matchmaker and his mother are demanding he meets with several women as possible candidates to be his wife; one which is a friend of Hattie. The longer Mateo and Hattie work together, the more he begins to interact and open up to her as well as discover that he and his entire household are enchanted with his scribe.

As Mateo meets all the eligible debutantes, he finds that he is only truly himself with Hattie and Hattie is finding herself increasingly infatuated with the Viscount. The matchmaker still has a few things up her sleeve to assist this pair, if the Viscount is willing to find his voice and stand up for what he wants.

Ms. London wrote a wonderful story filled with humor, witty banter, warmish love scenes, characters, secrets, heartache, and the magic of love that should not to be missed. I highly recommend The Viscount Who Vexed Me to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
