Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:In the spirit of Georgette Heyer, this delightful Regency romp offers a humorous and heartwarming tale... The whole series was freaking adorable and fun. —Shari, the Delighted Reader
Lord Lucas Willoughby earned his moniker as the Matchmaking Baron after his six engagements ended with each lady happily wed—to someone else. He swears off marriage proposals, until his headstrong neighbor proposes something else entirely.
Chastity Drummond has her sights set on a man who barely sees her as a woman, much less a potential wife. She can't seem to get him on bended knee, but knows an engagement to the Matchmaking Baron will turn his head.
Lucas and Chastity's charade takes on a life of its own. As feigned attraction becomes real, they wonder if they might already be perfectly matched. Their illicit engagement will inevitably end in marriage—but to whom?

This is my first time reading anything by this author. I loved reading this book. I did not want to put it down. She started becoming one of my favorite authors, I have to read one or two to be sure. I can't wait to read Cecilia's others books. I highly recommend this book to others. ( )

Just simply way too short....left me wanting more.

I so wish the books in the Gentlemen Next Door Series were longer than 50-some pages. I love the writing, and the plot has to much potential, but due to the shortness seem to rush through. ( )
