about book:

The woman who never made a match of her own is making matches for everyone else in this hilarious comedy of manners from the author of Mr. Malcolm's List.

Sophronia Lattimore had her romantic dreams destroyed years ago and is resigned to her role as chaperone for her cousin. Still, she cannot sit idly by when she becomes aware that a gentleman is about to propose to the wrong woman. She sends him an anonymous letter that is soon the talk of the town, particularly when her advice proves to be correct. Her identity is discovered and Sophie, formerly a wallflower, becomes sought after for her “expert” matchmaking skills. 

One person who seeks her out is the eligible and attractive Sir Edmund Winslow. As Sophie assists Sir Edmund in his pursuit of a wife, she wishes she could recommend herself as his bride. However, she vows to remain professional and uninvolved while aiding him in his search (especially since the gentleman surely does not return her affections).

Three unexpected arrivals soon show up at Sophie's door—the man who once broke her heart, a newlywed who is dissatisfied with the match Sophie made for her, and the man madly in love with Sophie's cousin—all wanting her attention. But when her onetime beau and Sir Edmund both appear to be interested in her, Sophie can’t figure out if she’s headed for another broken heart­­ or for the altar. How can she be expected to help other people sort out their romantic lives when her own is such a disaster?

my thoughts:

What a fun and delightful read! I just LOVED spending a rainy day reading Miss Lattimore's Letter by Suzanne Allain. The story was just such a treat to read. 

Sophie has resigned herself to the background of social settings. She has no romantic prospects and instead decides to just sit and listen. Of course, she can't help but overhear some conversations, which leave her feeling rather antsy - like, she has to do something, or else the wrong people will be hurt. So, she decides to write an anonymous letter, which does prove to be rather useful.  Except, her secret is out - people find out she wrote the letter. And, soon, Sophie is the matchmaking queen. The only problem is that she is head over heels for one her clients - Sir Edmund. Yikes! What's a lady to do?

Allain has written an entertaining story chock full of romance, drama, and mishaps. You can't help but fall in deep with this characters, their friendships, their histories, and their love lives - it all makes for many LOL moments. Miss Lattimore's Letter is definitely a book that will have you guffawing all the way through. Check it out!
