Wow! Just Wow! Give me a minute to clear my romance-foggy brain and rejoin reality. Never mind, I really don’t want to. Ugh, I just want to continue living in Rydstrom Hall with Crispin, the hero, Jacinda, the heroine, and Rydstrom Hall’s staff. Sigh…Why does life have to get in the way of my fantasy world? I read this book in 24 hours. I stopped to eat, potty and a few hours of shut eye. I ignored my husband, teenage sons and my beloved dog. It was worth every minute.

This was my first Vivienne Lorret novel. The cover says “USA Today Bestselling Author”. I believe it. It was amazing. The writing style was top notch. I felt like I was watching a movie. At times I felt like I was physically in the room with the characters. I was so absorbed in the story that I couldn’t tell you what was going on around me.

The plot flowed effortlessly even with all the intricate narrative threads. The cast of characters were thoroughly developed and tangled together in a way that was spellbinding.

I’m so excited that this was book one in the Misadventures in Matchmaking series. I am very excited to know that the next Misadventures in Matchmaking novel will be released early 2019.

The heroine, Jacinda, was hilarious. I lost count how many times she made me laugh. Her relationship with Crispin made for an entertaining and heartwarming love story. The synopsis caught my interest and if it catches yours then please don’t hesitate to read this book. I can see this story being made into a movie. There was so much depth to it. My favorite characteristic of “How to Forget a Duke” was the conversations between Jacinda and Crispin. They were truly the perfect match. The buildup of chemistry between them was epic. I consider this a spicy book with a respectable presence. By the time they exchanged their first kiss I was more than ready for it to happen and I wasn’t disappointed.

I’d like to duly note that not everything is this romance book was peaches and cream. Crispin’s Aunt Hortense added some conflict to the romance and there is a character that I can’t mention that pulled at my heart strings. Crispin and Jacinda had their own inner battles to contend with. All of which only enhanced my interest to continue flipping pages to seek the culmination. Other honorable character mentions are Jacinda’s sisters and her uncle. I imagine we’ll read about them in the upcoming books since they make up the Bourne Matrimonial Agency which is the basis of this series.

The best part is, there was an epilogue! Oh, how I love when a well written story ends with one. It usually makes for a spectacular book glow. In this case it created the desire to remain in the story rather than deal with reality of switching the wash, emptying the dish washer, and sweeping the floor. Ugh…Crispin take me away!
