OPINION: The strength of this book is the relationship between Henry and Adelaide. When Adelaide and Henry find themselves on opposite sides of stopping a wedding, the two take a journey across England, both thwarting and tantalizing one another.

In her latest quest to help a young woman, Adelaide encounters Henry, Duke of Clayborn, who has tried to live the role of a duke to perfection. Adelaide has another secret she was not born to the aristocracy but rather is the daughter of a crime lord. THE STORY: Adelaide Frampton spends her time in ballrooms watching as she pretends to be a wallflower, but she is actually the Matchbreaker who helps women avoid the altar. Much of the book is a road trip between them (only one bed at the inn!), so their relationship shines. I enjoyed the relationship between Adelaide and Henry.
