Always the matchmaker and never the bride – even when she’s found her perfect partner…

Miss Theodosia Ashbrooke does not believe there is anything greater than matching the perfect pair – and she’s become rather expert in it. Never mind that she’s never found the missing half to her own soul and body.
Perhaps that’s not her lot in life, even at the age of eight and twenty.
Her own failure is Albemarle Howard, Earl of Lenskeyn. He’s rude, he’s arrogant, he’s overly confident, and nothing Theodosia can do makes a difference. Albemarle has found his match though: and he is sure it is Theodosia.
He’s determined to have her. She’s not ready to accept defeat just yet. When you’ve always been right it’s impossible to accept that you’re wrong.
Can Theodosia step away from her matchmaker mindset for one minute and see the man in front of her – or will she lose him forever?

Always the Matchmaker, Book 8 of the Never the Bride series, was about Miss Theodosia "Teddy" Ashbrooke, the 28-year-old "professional" matchmaker (though she later said she was 29), and Lord Albemarle "Albie" Howard, the Earl of Lenskeyn. Theodosia took great pride in how many well-matched couples she had assisted in her 8 years as a matchmaker. She stated she had only a handful that fell apart, but that was due to the couples' actions after marriage and not anything she had any control over. When she was hired by the Dowager Countess of Lenskeyn to help her 39-year-old son find a wife, she knew it would be the greatest challenge she had ever taken on. Albie didn't like being in England, let alone Bath, and he absolutely detested the idea of procuring a wife and children. When his mother decided to hire Theodosia, he was livid...yet intrigued as well. She tested him in ways no other woman ever had, even treated him with a touch of disdain that no one ever dared to before. He was arrogant, over-confident in himself, and didn't believe he needed to bother with social niceties...all because "he was the fourteenth Earl of Lenskeyn". This story was well-written and had so many twists and turns in it that it boggled the mind. It was definitely riveting, to say the least. The characters were well-developed and fleshed out with a good deal of chemistry and passion between the two main characters. The appearances of several others from previous stories filled out the remaining characters and made the story fit in perfectly with the series. I didn't like Theodosia...in the beginning. She was a braggart, a conniving, interfering know-it-all. She appeared in several of the previous books in the series, and I didn't like how she was portrayed as a woman who loved to stick her nose in where it didn't belong, and she seemed to delight in forcing her attention where they weren't wanted, as was apparent in at least two other books. However, she sort of grew on me the more I read her story. There was definitely more to her than first met the eye. Albie, for all that he was nearly 40 years of age, had a lot of growing up to do. Although an Earl for many years, he ran from his responsibilities for a long time, leaving his mother to pick up the slack. When she finally put her foot down and told him it was time to marry, he balked but fell in line...sort of. He still had a great deal to learn...which he did when he worked with Teddy, the matchmaker, and promptly fell in love with her. It was a good story that kept the reader's attention. Although it had a bit more fluff than I generally enjoy, the humor that was liberally sprinkled throughout the book was well worth the reading. Still, it wasn't worth a five-star rating, but at least more than a one-star book.
