MY REVIEW

I pulled a delightful historical romance off my TBR pile that totally captivated me. This book is all about discovering love when we least expect it.

Miss Molly Moseley is the legendary thirty-year-old matchmaker who can easily imagine love blossoming in everyone else’s lives, yet struggles to envision it for herself. She is so relatable because she is so focused on helping others find love, while her own romantic feelings seem tangled in unrequited love. But there is a twist. The man she’s had feelings for since childhood, Daniel Shelton, Lord Rocksavage, expects Molly to help him find the perfect bride.

Daniel is self-absorbed and oblivious to Molly. He barely kept in touch during his absence and expects her support on his return. When Molly finds him a suitable match, Iris Crawford, he only notices Molly when Iris’s uncle Julian Crawford shows interest in her. A bit too little, too late in my opinion.

Julian Crawford is the rugged bachelor introduced as another suitor for Molly, creating a clear love triangle with Daniel. Unlike Daniel, Julian is determined, sweet, and genuinely devoted to making Molly happy. Their rapport adds a rich layer to the narrative, and I found myself rooting for the rugged guy, who was ready to give Molly the grand romance her heart craved.

What made this read truly special were the heartfelt letters Molly writes to her deceased sister and confidant, Madeleine, and Julian’s truly endearing letter of his own, which made him the true winner in my eyes. 

This novella is a charming, thought-provoking journey through love, self-discovery, and the unexpected twists that fate can throw our way. The pleasant, interesting storyline left me smiling; however, the abrupt ending left me wanting more.
