Today I’m delighted to introduce you to the latest release from one of my favorite authors Jen Turano. Her books consistently make me laugh outloud with their fun dialogue and fresh plots. I also adore the covers that she gets for each of these books. To Spark a Match is no exception.

I enjoyed To Spark a Match so much. It’s a fun blend of witty dialogue, mystery, slow-building romance, and a wonderful cast of characters. The book starts heavy on dialogue but soon settles into the fun action and back and forth that I love. There were laugh out loud moments and such fun, and the mystery was wonderful. I adored the Adelaide as she was an unconventional heiress who tried to honor her mother while acknowledging how she didn’t fit society’s mold. At the same time, she’s fiesty and smart. Gideon is a great hero who has to learn to let Adelaide be herself rather than set her on a shelf and protect her. Such a fun combination and the perfect amount of sparking. I loved this book.

More about To Spark a Match:

After five unsuccessful Seasons on the marriage mart, Miss Adelaide Duveen has resigned herself to the notion that she’s destined to remain a spinster forever–a rather dismal prospect, but one that will allow her to concentrate on her darling cats and books. However, when she inadvertently stumbles upon Mr. Gideon Abbott engaged in a clandestine activity during a dinner party, Adelaide finds herself thrust into a world of intrigue that resembles the plots in the spy novels she devours.

Former intelligence agent Gideon Abbott feels responsible for Adelaide after society threatens to banish her because of the distraction she caused to save his investigation. Hoping to return the favor, he turns to a good friend–and one of high society’s leaders–to take Adelaide in hand and turn her fashionable. When danger surrounds them and Adelaide finds herself a target of the criminals in Gideon’s case, the spark of love between them threatens to be quenched for good–along with their lives.

• Turano charms with her offbeat characters, and she has a knack for funny, flirty dialogue…fans will find this irresistible.”— Publisher’s Weekly
• “Turano delivers a rousing second installment in her the Matchmakers historical inspirational romance series set in New York’s Gilded Age. This is a delightful novel about individuality and unexpected love that balances humorous hijinks and the intrigue of criminal activity within the rare book world. It shimmers with spunk and stars a most admirable leading lady whose unapologetic acceptance of herself is what refreshingly captivates her hero’s heart.”— Booklist
• “This book is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, hilarious encounters, slow burn romance, bookish characters, cats and a dash of mystery! I highly recommend it, friends!”— Tasha, Clean Read Book Club
