A Season for Love

Can a Jane Austen-style Regency Season inspire courtship in the modern world?

When Emma Love's mother retires, it's time for her to take the reins of the family dating agency and build on its success. And she has a fresh new idea: to host a Jane Austen-style Regency Season of glamourous events where potential partners can actually take the time to get to know each other in person, with no apps in between. Emma has no intention of becoming romantically involved herself, of course--she's a matchmaker on the hunt for the perfect partner for ladies like Tiffanie (still in love with her childhood sweetheart), Jayne (recently divorced and secretive), and wild child Lydia (more interested in hookups than finding Mr. Darcy). But as the Season unfolds, there is one fly in Emma's ointment: the irritating Mr. Knight, with his casual attitude and gentle cynicism. Why is she allowing him to ruffle her calm, ordered life, and why can't she stop thinking about him? She's far too sensible to take a chance on love...isn't she? Fans of authors such as Jane Austen and Sophie Kinsella will love this laugh-out-loud, captivating romantic comedy.

Readers who want great characters with defined and complex personal backstories and diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations, enough drama to keep the pages turning, and lovely references to Jane Austen and her works will be thrilled by Sinclair's clever romance. It's the perfect choice for fans of Shannon Hale's Austenland, the television series Lost in Austen, and character-driven novels seasoned with humor and kindness.--Ally Sinclair "Booklist"
