My first thought is why is Jennifer Lawrence having a pillow fight on the cover of this book? Also, it is super hard to decide whether this is a historical or a contemporary. Maybe the finished version will have a step-back? I'd recommend it.

Any way, A Match Made in Bed is the second in the Spinster Heiresses series by Cathy Maxwell. We've met Miss Cassandra Holwell in Book 1, so we already know she is rich as sin, super tall, really into books, and lacking a prestigious title.

Soren, the newly minted Earl of Dewsberry is Cassandra's opposite in many ways, but he's wanted her since childhood, family rivalry be damned. With her money and his title, they can make a real life.

But while Cassandra's father is a slimy politician who desperately wants a title for his daughter, he seems to be thwarting every suitor who comes her way. And there is no way Cassandra's father would ever allow her to marry a Dewsberry, no matter how lofty the title.

Risking being disowned, Cassandra and Dewsberry elope, but soon find out there is a real big reason why her father never actually wished her to marry. Plus, Soren has some pretty big secrets of his own.

Like the first in the series, I enjoyed the build up to this story, but alas I found the execution of the story-arc to be pretty blah. The pay-off was just never there for me. Maxwell makes major issues disappear with a magical sexy-time or two, the characters are immediately in love, and a lot of action happens off page.

I'm thinking Maxwell just may not be the right fit for me.

Thank you to Avon for the ARC!
