A Match Made In Bed by Cathy Maxwell

A Match Made In Bed (A Spinster Heiress Novel, #2) (The Spinster Heiresses 2) (Spinster Heiresses, #2)

by Cathy Maxwell

Once upon a time there were three young ladies who, despite their fortunes, had been on the marriage mart a bit too long. They were known as “the Spinster Heiresses” . . .

Miss Cassandra Holwell is too tall, too bookish, and too smart—but she does have money and a father who wants a grand title for her. Cassandra hasn’t felt a desire to marry until she meets the sinfully handsome Duke of Camberly, who captures her imagination . . . until Soren York, Earl of Dewsberry and her family’s sworn enemy, steps in the way.

The Holwells ruined Soren’s family, and he’s lived on the knife’s edge trying to resurrect their fortunes . . . until he considers marrying the Holwell Heiress. Not only would her dowry give him the funds he needs, he has secretly had an eye on the independent-minded bluestocking since they both first realized the differences between men and women.

She likes to read; he has no patience for books. She knows little of sex; he is a man of the world and willing to school her. Her family destroyed his; his offer of marriage may be her only salvation.

Now Cassandra and Soren must learn to love each other for who they are, not what they are—and the lessons are becoming an exercise in absolute pleasure.

Cathy Maxwell never disappoints and this series is proving to be one of my favorites. I'm really enjoying watching this "spinster heiresses" - beautifully flawed characters - grow into women worth admiring.

In a Match Made in Bed, we have a kind of second-chance romance, in that these characters grew up together and were friends but due to some family rivalries, unfortunate misunderstandings, and hurt feelings Cassandra wants nothing to do with Soren. Soren, on the other hand, needs her wealth to save his inheritance, plus he really prefers her.

Of course, it's even more complicated than that and when things get tough I loved seeing the characters come together, resolve their differences and find their HEA. I look forward to seeing what twists and turns Cathy threw into the third and final book of the series!
