A Sweet Romance with Nods to Austen! --"A Mismatch Made in London" by Melanie Dickerson--Review


 

My Review:

"A Mismatch Made in London" by Melanie Dickerson is a sweet romance with nods to Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and “Northanger Abbey.” This story is gentle, sweet, and full of a slow-burn romance that you will be rooting for! Ms. Dickerson’s stories always have such great and moral characters who pray and talk to God. Amelia Moore, our heroine, goes to London for the social season and meets Jeremy Beaumont (the man all the women want to marry, due to his status and wealth). There is a great enemies-to-lovers and a grumpy-sunshine dynamic between the two. Facing pride and prejudice, will Jeremy and Amelia’s relationship prevail? Or will Amelia fall for the other men who have caught her eye? Amelia realizes that feeling needed makes her feel loved and it is hard for her to feel loved by Jeremy because he does not need her. Characters deal with forgiveness and realize that everyone is responsible for his own thoughts, feelings, and happiness. I thought this was such a sweet story and lovers of Regency romance will enjoy Ms. Dickerson’s latest book!

Content: I give this a low PG-13 rating. Some examples of the content: mention of paramours, gambling, and drinking; someone is pregnant out of wedlock; rumors of someone being “ruined.” SA is a big part of the storyline (see TW below).

TW: mention of past stillbirths; mention of laws about r*pe; se*ua assault (semi-detailed of an event in the past—an unwanted kiss, touch, and physical abuse).

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
