About this listen

Be prepared to smile, swoon, and sigh in Christi Caldwell's latest Heart of a Scandal installment where a matchmaker firmly on the shelf is about to fall head over heels for her best friend's younger brother.

She lived by a strict set of rules....

Meredith Durant believes those who won’t marry, matchmake, and she’s made a notable career for herself helping young women find the perfect mate. Having suffered a broken heart years before, she’s quite content in her work and determined to never fall prey to love again. Her most recent job finds her working for the unlikeliest of households, never expecting her assignment would be her best friend's younger brother, Barry - who's not so little anymore. He’s a grown man who leaves her breathless and wishing just maybe this time she could have a happy ending. But how can that happen when, once her job is done, she must watch him wed another?

He's decided to break her rules:

Barry Aberdeen, the future Duke of Gayle, knew his days of freedom were numbered. With his sister recently married, his mother turned her marital aspirations to him. She’s even gone as far as to hire a matchmaker. Worse, the matchmaker is a childhood friend - Meredith Durant. Only the rigid, serious creature is not the carefree girl he remembered. If he’s going to be saddled with a matchmaker, he’s going to have fun loosening Meredith’s too-tight chignon. What he doesn’t expect is how entranced he’ll be when those strands come falling down around her shoulders.

I really enjoyed how Caldwell developed this story and slowly revealed Barry and Meredith’s relationship. I typically prefer a story that ends on a high rather that inject lots of contrived conflict that keeps characters apart throughout. So I loved this. Christi did an excellent job of keeping tensions at a steadily increasing pace until it broke. I especially liked the last minute reveal of Barry’s... which looking back was very subtly hinted at. This is the first audiobook I’ve listened to by her, ergo the first time I’ve listened to Tim Campbell. I’m so happy because I really have trouble with anyone that isn’t Justine Eyre, Alex Wyndham and Mary Jane Wells. It means I constantly run out of listening material. So.... I’m very pleased to say Campbell is an excellent narrator. Male and female voices are spot on and I’m very much looking forward to listening to the Caldwell/Campbell mass of collaborations.

Beautiful story,

Lovely slow boil
