The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule—never fall in love with the client. However, they never said anything about kissing a rake… Briar Bourne’s matchmaking career could be summed up in two words—comic disaster. Unless she can learn about the irresistible forces that draw men and women together, her professional future looks rather bleak. But Briar has an intriguing plan—enlisting London’s most irredeemable rake to teach her everything he knows about attraction. Given his notorious reputation, it’s no surprise that Nicholas Blacklowe, the Earl of Edgemont, requests one thing in exchange for his tutelage. For every lesson, he wants a kiss in return. And what harm could there be in a simple kiss? After all, Briar would never fall for a scoundrel… Nicholas has no romantic notions about love, and no intention of changing his ways. He’s only helping Briar so that she can find the perfect bride for his jilted cousin. Yet Briar is so clever, so curious, so candid—so blasted tempting—that soon, Nicholas can’t stop wondering what it might be like if he was irresistible to her. Ten lessons. Ten kisses. And a million ways to fall hopelessly, scandalously in love.

Brair is determined to be a good matchmaker. It's not her fault that her first try finds her setting up a mother and son. It could happen to anyone, couldn't it? Her family needs the business to be a success and they cannot have these kinds of mistakes. Blair decides the only way to fix it is to match a peer of the ton. Luckily, a mysterious woman seeks her help in matching her "cousin."
Nicholaus is trying to help his cousin feel better after a terrible jilting. If this crazy matchmaker can help, he's all for it. However, he has no intention of being matched himself. And this woman keeps insulting his looks.....
These two are so fun together. Briar just draws chaos. If there is horseshit, she steps in it, literally. She cannot catch a break. Her family dismisses her. They think they are protecting her but they make her feel terrible.
I enjoyed the other people in the book. The conflict was a bit meh but otherwise this book was a great read.
