“Dearest Diary, there is something to be said for our little games… I have begun to find allies where I previously thought I had none. But I cannot trust everyone, now can I? There are whispers everywhere, but I will tell only you my secrets.”

Constance Blackwood has had some luck with her delicate arrangements, but not everyone is pleased with the games she had been playing with the reputations of Queen Charlotte’s courtiers.

A match gone wrong could spell the end of Constance’s little assignments—and it is difficult not to suspect that her closest allies could be planning her downfall.

The Earl of Farraday’s only daughter has been unlucky in love, and now that her third season has just ended, the earl is desperate to see her married. But when an unexpected match made in the first blush of spring sets tempers alight, the Countess of Farraday will look to Constance for an explanation, and a quick marriage to ensure that their daughter’s honor remains intact.

Another problem weighs heavily on Constance’s mind. Her precious diary has been stolen, and whoever has taken it is in possession of information that could change the course of Constace’s fortunes and spell the end of everything she has worked so hard to build.

Constance must move quickly to be sure that she, herself, does not become a Lesson in Ruin...

Her Majesty’s Matchmaker is a steamy Regency Romance series featuring a determined heroine who will stop at nothing to make her own way in the world, all while navigating the sometimes dangerous world of the Royal Court.


⭐⭐⭐⭐

Constance Blackwood is one of the Queen's junior ladies in waiting,  she is also known as a matchmaker.  The Queen likes to hear all about the romances among society. 
A very overbearing mother has asked Constance to find a husband for her daughter, who will not look for herself. 
Selina is not interested in any of the titled gentlemen she has met. She has her own ideas about what to do with her life. 
Alexander is in London raising money for a rebellion.  He has a letter of recommendation from a famous English exile.  
A saucy historical romance filled with mischief and intrigue.  Will our three main characters get the outcome they expect.  The ending is a bit of a surprise,  and it's also a tease for the next book in the series.  
Good fun.
