Match not, lest ye be matched...
Jane Richards is not interested in marriage at the moment, nor is she particularly concerned about it. The Season is an opportunity to be out and about, to engage with others, and to experience all that life, and London, have to offer. A house party to a castle in the Cotswolds isn't exactly what she had intended, but her curiosity gets the better of her, and she accepts.
When she notices a gentleman who would be utterly perfect for one of her oldest friends, she determines she must intervene to make the match between them, but it will require help.
Simon Appleby isn't sure why he agreed to a house party in the Cotswolds, but it is better than enduring excessive events in London, all engineered to force romantic connections among Society. But even he must admit that his friend has found his perfect match among the party guests, and is going to ruin his chances if left to his own devices.
Simon finds himself colluding with the amusing, if willful, Jane Richards to throw their friends together at every possible opportunity, finding more entertainment in interfering than he could ever have imagined. And more surprises than he had counted on.
But are they the only ones making a match at this house party? Only time will tell...
The Rules of Matchmaking is a sweet, witty Regency romance novel.

I loved it!! It was so wholesome!! Very well-written and poetic, I love this type of narration in a historical romance. The setting was delightful, the characters were amazing and the dialogue was clever.
The ending!!! I had a stray thought early on in the book “Imagine if...” but I ignored it immediately! And yet, here we are!
Simon is so stubborn but I loved him. I loved his realization that he loved Jane. And I loved that Jame realized while she was playing cards! And he wasn't even there! I LOVE it when the characters are doing something completely ordinary, something that has nothing at all to do with the other love interest and that's when the realization hits. It's so good, always.
Jane was so good too. Her humour and wit was amazing and I can see how she could charm Simon so well, without even trying.
THE RING!!! THE RING!!!! AGSVGSDFSGDBD I was hoping this would happen!! I loved it!!
I enjoyed this book and I loved it.
