In this exhilarating new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Jane Feather, a trio of spirited sisters secretly run a thriving matchmaking service. But these three good catches of impeccable pedigree have little interest in matrimony themselves--until, one by one, they meet their matches. Constance Duncan may be the eldest of three sisters, but she has more important things on her mind than finding a husband--for herself, at any rate. Through the Personals services of her popular newspaper, The Mayfair Lady, Constance connects lonely hearts. But her own heart lies in her work, and nothing will distract her from it--until she finds herself irresistibly drawn to a man of disastrously different views. Max Ensor is a politician whose outmoded attitudes outrage her--even as his powerful presence intrigues her. Clearly there is only one thing to do with such an exasperating man: convert him! Little does Constance know that Max has the same plan in mind for her. . . . What follows is a fiercely passionate duel in which two headstrong people discover that, differences or not, sometimes one gender cannot--will not--do without the other.… (more)

A fun read! ( )

I don't even think I hated this book, I just didn't fucking care. Neither party is particularly likable or loathsome. But it's the most ill-conceived and poorly thoughtout coupling I've read in a while. Not to mention there's zero spark between them.

a cute love story about three headstrong sisters who are secretly editors for thier own magazine that deals with love, gossip, and politics. This book is the first in the Duncan sisters' novels, focusing on the eldest sister, Constance, who is trying to change Max's political stance on woman suffrage. He is a member of government and believes woman should be dainty and sensitive creatures concerned of running a household and leading a peaceful life with her husband. Constance thinks he is an arrogant and pompous man, as well as handsome, and finds that he makes her feel like no other man has. They find each other irritating, so much so, that in each encounter one always ends up furious at the other. ( )

This is the story of Constance the eldest of three sisters who must support themselves as their father has made some foolish investments and is in denial about their financial condition. Constance is the most daring and the most outgoing of the sisters, she has lots of ideas about how to supplement their income. She edits and editorializes in a small secretly published scandal sheet that is their means of income. Their participation in this is secret. Constance meets a very arrogant MP and sets about to get information about Parliments stand on Woman's rights as she is an avowed feminiest. This leads to a very spicy romance and volitale relationship. This is the first in the series and establishes each sisters personality, it moved a little slowly for my taste. I hope the 2nd book is more gripping. Over all it was an enjoyable read.
