About this audiobook
The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Never fall in love with the client. A simple thing to remember . . . unless you’re a matchmaker with amnesia.
The Duke of Rydstrom requires a wife. Preferably one with a large fortune and a complete lack of curiosity. The last thing he needs is a meddling matchmaker determined to dig up his dark family secrets.
All Jacinda wants is to find a bride for a duke. How hard could that be? He’s handsome, enigmatic . . . and hiding something. She’s sure of it. Determined to discover what it is, she travels to his crumbling cliffside estate. Yet, by the time she washes up on his beach, she can no longer remember who she is or why the duke is so familiar to her. All she knows is that his kisses are unforgettable—and she intends to use every skill she can to discover what’s in his heart . . .
When Miss Bourne can’t remember what brought her to his ancestral home, Rydstrom intends to keep it that way. Yet as the days pass, his true challenge will be safeguarding his secret while resisting this woman who—confound it all—may well be his perfect match.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nice book. The match maker who was suspicious and inquisitive, went to investigate and uncover a story, had an accident, had amnesia, fell in love with her frustrated client, regained her memory, realized she couldn't marry him, selflessly gave him up, his benevolent though previously haughty aunt saves him financially so he can marry her despite her penniless state and so they live happily ever after plus kids that take after them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the first book by Vivienne Lorret that I’ve read and I enjoyed it immensely. I’ll definitely be continuing with this series.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Rounded up to two stars. Some people will like this book, it wan’t terribly written. But I didn’t enjoy it, and it was, in fact, a chore for me to get through. I only have two real problems with it, but they’re big enough that they impacted nearly every aspect.
The heroine is a termagant. I don’t inherently dislike tenacity and inquisitiveness in my leads, but those qualities are really cranked up to 11 in this one. She’s also selfish, contrary, sneaky, a liar, and thinks rules don’t apply to her, and that she should get to do whatever she wants- all at levels you usually only see in bratty children. I don’t find them endearing in a lead character.
Secondly, I didn’t especially care for the hero either. He felt very flat to me and has about four things he just keeps thinking and saying over and over. He also actively deluded himself for a major portion of the book, and kinda blew hot and cold with the heroine as well, sometimes practically at the same time. He’s been trying to keep the heroine at a distance, but they finally succumb to their passion and she’s straddling his hips and he’s mouthing her bared breasts and she says his first name instead of his title and he pauses to say ‘you mustn’t call me by my Christian name.’
