À propos de cet audio
The woman who never made a match of her own is making matches for everyone else in this hilarious Regency-era comedy of manners.
Sophronia Lattimore had her romantic dreams destroyed years ago and is resigned to her role as chaperone for her cousin. Still, she cannot sit idly by when she becomes aware that a gentleman is about to propose to the wrong woman. She sends him an anonymous letter that is soon the talk of the town, particularly when her advice proves to be correct. Her identity is discovered and Sophie, formerly a wallflower, becomes sought after for her “expert” matchmaking skills.
One person who seeks her out is the eligible and attractive Sir Edmund Winslow. As Sophie assists Sir Edmund in his pursuit of a wife, she wishes she could recommend herself as his bride. However, she vows to remain uninvolved while aiding him in his search (especially since the gentleman surely does not return her affections).
But when her long-lost love and Sir Edmund both seem to be interested in courting her, Sophie can’t figure out if she’s headed for another broken heart or for the altar. How can she be expected to help other people sort out their romantic lives when her own is such a disaster?
©2021 Suzanne Allain (P)2021 Penguin AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"Get ready to read well past bedtime with Allain’s classic Regency romance and its shrewd, funny heroine, who turns her talent for matchmaking into a match of her own.” (Library Journal, starred review)
“Realistically varied motivations and small social deceptions build a sense of intrigue, and tender interactions generate a deeper sense of connectedness and hope...every reader will finish the book with a satisfied smile.” (Booklist)
“This is an insightful novel of manners.... Jane Austen’s influence is readily apparent in language usage, character conduct, and, most importantly, the subtle wit and irony that provide so much entertainment.” (Historical Novel Society)

Decent narration, but lacklustre story
The story is inoffensive but pretty boring and not much happens. The main characters aren’t very well developed, there isn’t much chemistry, and I can’t figure out why all of these men want the heroine all of a sudden after 28 years as a spinster because she does very little except sit around and waffle insecurely and indecisively over them without giving any of them the slightest encouragement. The hero as well does absolutely nothing except make very thinly veiled hints that he might like her for far too long. Someone needed to take some sort of action to stop the story from dragging. This book would have been over in 10 pages if the characters just had one honest conversation with each other.
The side characters and story are equally flat, and I found the majority of them more annoying than anything. The narrator is good though and it makes for a mindless listen. This is my second attempt to read a book by this author and have decided her writing style is just not for me, so I will not be trying another.

A Mismatched Jigsaw Puzzle
This feels like all of Jane Austen's novels were thrown together into a blender and then poured out to get this book. Even the dialog is unoriginal. I found myself saying that I know Eliza Bennet or Mr. Darcy and even Mr. Collins has said those very words. I fell asleep a few times but didn't need to rewind because I knew exactly what was going on because there was very little plot variation.
