Some matches are made in hell…
Joanna Porter loves being one of London’s hottest up-and-coming matchmakers. But her heavenly vocation is about to turn into a nuptial nightmare—thanks to the Duke of Crestmont. He’s as handsome as he is insufferable and obsessed with all things proper. Matching him would cement Jo’s status as England’s greatest matchmaker. Except, of course, the impossible-to-please duke refuses all of her most eligible ladies…confirming his status as a complete and utter pain in her petticoats.
The Duke of Crestmont can’t believe he needs a matchmaker—let alone this spitfire of a woman whose kissable mouth and dancing, impertinent gray eyes tease him ruthlessly. But the people of his estate are counting on him to find a duchess. A proper lady with a flawless pedigree and immaculate deportment. So why can’t he stop himself from wanting his pert, lively matchmaker…instead of the perfect duchess?
Now the entire ton is watching as this determined, audacious matchmaker takes on the most powerful man in London in USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Haymore’s lively new Regency romp. And this show might just be the most outrageous one yet…

Summary
The Duke’s Rules of Engagement by Jennifer Haymore was a delightful read! Jo is a professional matchmaker. She has several successful matches under her belt even if she cannot find her own happily ever after.
Matthew, a Duke seeks her help because he needs an heir and a spare. He is looking for the ‘perfect’ duchess; not love. As Jo works to match him with who she thinks would be his perfect duchess the chemistry between them explodes.
Matthew was tough but I loved him. He and Jo were perfectly matched. She was sassy with him and would challenge his thinking, when most would not do that because he was a duke.
I liked Matthew’s friends and the camaraderie. I am wondering if they will get their own books. Jo's friends were not my favorite.
I enjoyed the book tremendously and would recommend if you are okay with some steamy scenes.
