When the Marquess Met His Match Audiobook Summary

In the first of a dazzling new series, USA Today bestselling author Laura Lee Guhrke introduces London’s most renowned matchmaker–and a scoundrel intent on seducing his way to the altar.

She’s the matchmaker . . .

Lady Belinda Featherstone’s job is to guide American heiresses to matrimony, and away from men like Nicholas, Marquess of Trubridge. But the charming, disreputable marquess needs a wealthy bride, and he hires Belinda to help him find one. Her task seems easy: find that scoundrel the sort of wife he so richly deserves. But Nicholas’s hot, searing kiss soon proves her task will be anything but easy.

He’s the perfect match . . .

Nicholas plans to wed a rich, pretty young darling to restore his fortune, and he’s happy to pay a marriage broker to help him. But one taste of Belinda’s lips and Nicholas’s sensible scheme to marry for money goes awry, and he yearns to show his beautiful matchmaker he’s the perfect match . . . for her.

Genial! Me han encantado los diálogos entre los protagonistas. Vaya par!! Una historia de amor muy bonita. La única pega: no hay epílogo y lo he echado en falta. Ha sido un final demasiado precipitado.

En realidad 3'5 estrellas, pero me siento generosa con la Guhrke y le he dado las cuatro. Más que nada, porque cualquier libro sosete de la Guhrke es mejor que muchas autoras mediocres que se publican por ahí.Tal como dice la sinopsis, y tras leer críticas y opiniones, estoy de acuerdo en todo en que éste libro de innovador no tiene nada, al revés, es un topicazo tras otro. Ella una viuda americana, que se casó joven e inocente con un noble británico y arruinado, que sólo la quiso por su dinero. Su experiencia en ésta índole la ha vuelto cínica y desconfiada (con razón), de los granujas y libertinos. Ahora se dedica a ser la casamentera de moda en Londres de todas las jovencitas americanas.¿Y cuál es el quid? El protagonista, ése GRAN PROTAGONISTA. Nicholas tiene todo lo que tienen los mejores héroes de la Guhrke, a pesar de tener su punto canalla, tiene un gran corazón. Sus circunstancias lo convirtieron en un rebelde, y en el granuja que cree Belinda que es. Todo el libro ha sido un constante tira y afloja entre ellos, además de las pullas tan divertidas que se lanzaban. Lo mejor, ése punto picaresco con que terminaba siempre Nicholas.Lo cierto es que es una novela muy entretenida, e ideal para leerse en un fin de semana. Y si eres fan de la Guhrke, puedes leerlo sin problemas. Por lo menos a mí me ha parecido mejor que su anterior serie, la de las "Plantadas en el Altar".

Mini review: My first Laura Lee Guhrke book. Initially, I did not like the heroine for her rather high-handed morals, but I grew to like her. Not a bad read. I will be watching out for her later books.

4,5 Estrellas"En busca de una dama" es una novela romántica histórica ambientada en Londres en el siglo XIX y narrada en tercera persona. Aunque se trata del primer libro de una serie se puede leer de forma independiente ya que es autoconclusivo.Estamos ante una novela muy entretenida y muy fácil de leer. Es cierto que no aporta ningún elemento novedoso pero a pesar de ello he disfrutado mucho de la lectura, y creo que ha sido precisamente porque he encontrado el tipo de historia que esperaba de un libro de la autora.Las discusiones entre ellos son muy divertidas. Ella es muy seria y él es un hombre muy divertido. Nicholas está decidido a encontrar esposa y ella a impedirlo, y eso produce situaciones muy entretenidas. Me he leído el libro en un par de días y ayuda mucho la prosa ágil y sencilla de la autora. La verdad es que no me había dado cuenta de lo que echaba de menos los libros de Laura, una autora de la que he leído casi todos los libros que ha publicado y he disfrutado de todos. Algunas de sus obras son mejores que otras pero suele ser una apuesta segura. Tenía pendiente su serie de herederas americanas y espero ponerme pronto con los tres que me faltan por leer.

#RetoRita3 #RitaLauraLo cierto es que son 3,5 estrellas. He pasado un rato buenísimo. Es una novela, que sin tener una trama complicada, ni grandes giros argumentales me ha hecho pasar un rato buenísimo. Los tira y afloja entre Belinda y Nick me han sacado una sonrisa, la verdad. Es una de esas novelas con las que paso un rato agradable y disfruto. Me da igual que tenga clichés (siempre he dicho que bien llevados no me molestan para nada), que sea previsible, todo eso que para muchas son pegas, pues para mí, no lo son. Que me haga pasar un buen rato es, para mi, lo importante

When the Marquess Met His Match-- clever title for a clever, engaging romance from one of my favorite authors. I really enjoyed how American heiress Lady Belinda Featherstone came about her matchmaking in an effort to protect other young heiresses from falling into the same marriage trap she did...thinking she married for love instead of her fortune. When the newly cut-off-from-his-trust-fund Nicholas Stirling, Marquess of Trubridge, arrives at her doorstep she refuses to help him as he is exactly the type of man she keeps away from her clients and they declare war on each other. Belinda pulls out some fun twists and Trubridge finds himself unable to stop thinking about her. Together they go on a journey of self discovery, self worth, forgiveness, trust and passion. A truly delightful romance and I am very eager for the next story in the series! 4 starsReview copy provided by Avon via edelweiss.

Le premier tome de cette série de romances m'a beaucoup plu. Si l'intrigue, dans sa construction, reste très classique, l'idée sur laquelle repose le roman ouvre une porte sur des situations souvent drôles. J'ai aimé cette idée tout comme j'ai aimé les personnages qui ont des personnalités qui ont su me charmer et qui ont ce petit caractère qui laisse la part belle à de savoureux dialogues. La fin un peu rapide et un changement chez Nicholas, dans l'attrait qu'il porte à Belinda, un peu moins subtile que le reste, m'ont très légèrement gêné, mais bien évidemment, ça n'a pas modifié mon avis au final. Une romance historique que je recommande chaudement.Ma chronique complète : http://bloggalleane.blogspot.fr/2016/...

This was enjoyable from beginning to end. It's everything I want in a HR- plausible, not too anachronistic, cute and fluffy (though with enough substance to feel solid), with likeable and well-matched MC's who are well-developed and fun to read about. It's a Victorian, which is nice for a slight change of pace, and it allows the idea of an American matchmaker paired with a marquess to feel more realistic. Belinda is strong and smart, and while she started the book a bit prim and frosty (she was pretty rough on Nicholas to begin with), I felt it was completely justified upon learning her backstory. Nicholas was the "rake" who reforms and makes good, and he is easy to like from beginning to end. The love scenes are very well done and don't feel forced or abruptly inserted. The pacing is nicely done, and while I kept worrying that some silly misunderstanding or some nonsense would rip these two apart, my fears were unfounded. I don't know what else to say- I would highly recommend this. I've never read anything else by this author, but I certainly will try her again. I am so glad that I chose to read this group book!

Recupero a la autora con la que disfrutaba antes de la serie "Plantadas en el altar". Empecé la novela con cierta reticencia porque la serie anterior no me convenció, pero esta sí me ha gustado. Quizá no tanto como las primeras que leí de L. L. Guhrke, aunque tengo la sensación de que influye el hecho de que la traducción no tiene la fluidez, la sensibilidad ni la riqueza de vocabulario que tenían las anteriores. Aún así, la recomiendo por la calidad de los personajes, un argumento muy bien desarrollado y porque me encantan las casamenteras.

Loved it. Good story with a couple you actually believe are meant for each other.
