Description
After five unsuccessful Seasons on the marriage mart, Miss Adelaide Duveen has resigned herself to the notion that she’s destined to remain a spinster forever–a rather dismal prospect, but one that will allow her to concentrate on her darling cats and books. However, when she inadvertently stumbles upon Mr. Gideon Abbott engaged in a clandestine activity during a dinner party, Adelaide finds herself thrust into a world of intrigue that resembles the plots in the spy novels she devours.
Former intelligence agent Gideon Abbott feels responsible for Adelaide after society threatens to banish her because of the distraction she caused to save his investigation. Hoping to return the favor, he turns to a good friend–and one of high society’s leaders–to take Adelaide in hand and turn her fashionable. When danger surrounds them and Adelaide finds herself a target of the criminals in Gideon’s case, the spark of love between them threatens to be quenched for good–along with their lives.

Summary
Review by Donna F, Reviewer Oct 28 2023
To Spark a Match by Jen Turano was a delightful read. Her books are always a joy to read and this one was not exception. She creates moments that are hilarious and heartwarming.
This is the second book in the Matchmaker series and is set in New York during the Gilded Age. Adelaide is seen as unusual to most of society.
Gideon has asked his friend, The Matchmaker to help her. She decides to create Adelaide as an ‘original’. They were such a cute couple together.
I highly recommend Jen’s books as they are refreshing and are a great escape from a dreary winter day.
