Summary: Gideon and Prudence-SPOILERS
Review: Favorite scene with Prudence-
Going through her dad's private stuff at the bank to find evidence.Favorite scene with Gideon-
When Prudence returns to his chambers to confront him for his attitude towards her
and the case. Together-
Their first dinner together at the supper club. What did you like about Prudence-
Her stubborness and strength. Her smarts. She was the logical one. She dug deep
to help her father. What didn't you like about Prudence-
Expected Gideon to make his ex feel welcomed. Why would she want him to treat
her with kindness after she left him? What did you like about Gideon-
Falling for Prudence. He was a brilliant lawyer. What didn't you like about Gideon-
I didn't like that he didn't like talking about certain things and shut Prudence out.
Things seemed to be only on his terms.

Summary: Will the Real Jane Feather Stand Up?
Review: Has Ms. Feather become lazy? Is she trying to test her loyal fans to see if we will buy her books even if she makes no effort to write a good book? I have read every one of Ms. Feather's books and this trilogy is terrible. Where is the author who wrote Beloved Enemy one of the best romances I have ever read? I read The Bachelor List and started the Bride Hunt but couldn't get past the first few pages. The Duncan sisters are too unlikeable and the heros are 1 dimensional. How could Constance and Max from Bachelor List even like each other let alone fall in love. I can't overlook the dishonesty of the sisters who in today's world would be in jail for misrepresenting themselves as a charity! In the future I will be more wary of Ms. Feather's books.

Summary: Much more satisfying than The Bachelor List
Review: I really enjoyed this book from start to finish. I found the relationship between Prue and Gideon charming. I'm surprised other reviewers seem think the two characters aren't really well-matched, when I felt their spirited interaction was much more like romantic banter than Con and Max's fights in the first book. Prue and Gideon's relationship, while stormy, had a gentler undertone than Con and Max's constant biting. And, the courtroom drama ensured that I didn't put the book down until I finished it! If I have one quibble, it would be that the reader doesn't get enough of Gideon. He's a fascinating character, and I would have liked to have seen more from his point of view, as well as more of his courtroom flair. (I actually give this book 4 1/2 stars.)

Summary: 2nd in the series is even more delightful
Review: I truly enjoyed the first in this series - "The Bachelor Hunt", the story of the Duncan sisters and their practical approach to love, romance and marriage. But this one was even better. The sisters are trying to hold their family out of poverty by running a matchmaking service in 19th London, while producing a strongly suffragist scandal sheet called "The Mayfair Lady". Sister Prudence must retain Sir Gideon Malvern when the paper is sued for libel. Of course Gideon and Prudence immediately set sparks off each other, but he feels his romantic suit will come to cropper because the civil suit is hopeless. Prudence cannot pay his solicitor's fees, so she talked Gideon in to accept the matchmaking services instead. Of course, romance will ensue! It's amusing, witty and utterly delightful. Refreshing period for hitorical romance going against the long (and ridiculous) thought that this more "modern" historical turns off readers.

Review: I was in an airport and picked up The Bride Hunt. I found it a very enjoyable read - plot is predictable, but a few twists kept me interested.

Summary: An unromantic courtroom drama
Review: Jane Feather's second book of the Matchmaker's trilogy revolves around middle sister Prudence. The Mayfair Lady, the magazine published by the sisters, faces a lawsuit brought on by their father's friend the Earl of Barclay. Constance, Prudence and Chastity loose no time finding a barrister to defend them in court, they set their sights on Sir Gideon Malvern, who is supposed to be one of the best lawyers in London. Gideon finds himself intrigued by middle sister Pru, and when she offers to find him a bride as part of his fees, he decides to take the case.
While the book was well written, Feather never managed to give Gideon any depth as a character. Little was said about his past, and while reading about his clashes with Prudence was fun, there was little romance involved. Feather manages to wonderfuly recreate the period, yet the novel reads more like a Grisham book than an historical romance. If you are looking for a warm romantic story, "The Bride Hunt" is not for you. I can't say I did not like the book, but it surely wasn't what I expect from a romance.

Summary: Do these two really like each other?
Review: Part two of a three-part series, the Bride Hunt brings together two very unlikely characters. Common enough plot device - but in this case you really just wonder if they'll end up hating each other in a year or so. This book was definitely written with more care and consideration of the plot than The Bachelor List (part one of the series), so kudos for that. I think that with about 50 more pages I might have been made to believe that these two belong together - but ultimately, there just wasn't enough. I do have to admit that I'll be out in April to buy the third installment - the male character (briefly revealed in this book) looks a bit different, and interesting. Let's hope third time is a charm.
Rating: 
Summary: Love?
Review: The book was interesting particularly as I am a law student...however, as another review stated, I really wasn't convinced Prudence actually loved Malvern and vice versa. They only knew each other for a month before getting married too, which seems out of characte for the sensible sisters. Fun but not worth seven bucks.
