Such a delightful novella this is! Miss Jane Dalton loves to play matchmaker and the latest couple she’s matched is her brother Henry and best friend Lily, with the help of her brother’s best friend, Nicholas Waverley. Although she finds Nicholas very handsome, she has no intention of ever falling in love! Little does she know that Nicholas is in love with her but she’s made it plain that she’s not interested in love and marriage so he hides the fact.
Unintentionally, Jane catches the eye of an assassin and to protect her, Nicholas kidnaps her to keep her safe and that’s when she discovers he’s actually a spy for the crown. She also can’t resist her attraction to him and falls head over heels in love with him but will they have a chance to declare their love amidst all the danger surrounding them?!

Jane and Nicholas were such a wonderful pairing in this periodic story. The story line was fun and uniquely interesting. The characters had just the right amount of adventure added to their journey to their HEA.

Oh it is wonderful to see the matchmaker, who who always thinks she may never find her match, to be ensnared by someone so close! Such was the case with Jane, who had just attended the wedding of her best friend Lily and her brother Henry. (Book 1, don’t miss it!). With the help of Henry’s best friend Nicholas Waverly, they had orchestrated a romantic meeting between the two and the rest was history! But oh, Nicholas Waverley, was so handsome and that dimple in his cheek! But those blue eyes…. She cannot help staring at him and he does seem to pay her a lot of attention!
Can I just say wow I loved this story and yes, yes I did fall a little in love with Nicholas who was such an amazing man. Unpretentious she had called him! Well when he kidnaps Jane to keep her safe after she is at the wrong place and runs into him and a known criminal, the adventure begins! What is so heartwarming is that Nicholas has had strong feelings for Jane for a long time. Be still my heart!
This story has a little of it all! Intrigue, action, humor and of course a sizziling attraction that will come off the pages! When I see a new story by Tammy, I know it will be exactly what I want to read and sigh as I turn the last page. Oh yes, it happens every time!! Cannot wait for more in the delightful series!
The characters in this book were all wonderful, the plot was original, and the story flowed nicely. It was the second book in the series but was an enjoyable standalone.

This is the second book in The Matchmaker Series, but it can be read as a stand-alone book. This was such a sweet romance to read. Miss Jane Dalton was a matchmaker but didn’t want to make a match herself due to her fear of losing love. Mr. Nicholas Waverly, her brother’s closest friend, is in love with Jane. When he becomes involved in a treasonous plot, he has to kidnap her in order to save her. They finally get their HEA after Jane is able to overcome her fears. The story was short and fast paced but the characters were well developed. The unexpected twists to the plot kept the reader’s attention throughout the book. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a fast, sweet romance to read.

Miss Jane Dalton, one of London’s most successful matchmakers, believes it’s much safer bringing couples together than falling in love herself. In fact, she could not think of anything more daunting than to have loved and lost. However she can’t help but notice how handsome Mr. Nicholas Waverley, her brother’s best friend, is.
I first met Nicholas & Jane in the first book in the series & I’m so glad they now have their story. Nicholas is in love with Jane & he’s so patient & lovely. Jane no way wants to fall in love but when she’s thrown together with Nicholas their attraction deepens. A well written very well paced book that I read in a sitting. I hope Jane continues her matchmaking as there are at least one soldier who needs his story.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
Miss Jane Dalton has found plenty of happiness in bringing couples together but is too afraid to risk loss by giving in to love herself. However, it seems fate has other plans when her brother’s closest friend, Mr. Nicholas Waverly, finds himself obliged to kidnap her in order to keep her safe from assassins involved in a treasonous plot. As she is forced into close situations with Nicholas, Jane begins to notice, and subsequently battle, her true and terrifying feelings for Nicholas. When Nicholas is bold enough to confess the love he’s long harbored for her, it may not be enough to make Jane set aside her fears and take a risk with him. When she finally summons the courage to acknowledge and admit her true feelings, it may be too late for Nicholas to believe her.
Jane was especially naive and unbelievably oblivious but Nicholas was adorably chivalrous and vulnerable. Nicholas was the perfect balance to Jane’s tendency to over-analyze and there was some danger and intrigue to keep this novel fast paced and engaging. Overall, I quite enjoyed it.
