The Artful Match by Jennifer Delamere

4.0

Loved this final book in the London Beginnings series! For anyone who loves art and appreciates the aesthetics movement, you will enjoy this book. Cara is an interesting character. She is kind and loving, but she is somewhat irresponsible throughout the series until a tragedy makes her rethink her profession as a governess in this third book. She goes to London and because of misunderstandings with her sisters, she winds up taking up with the brother of an Earl who is an artist.

Cara is introduced into the bohemian world of the artists. She also meets the handsome extremely serious Earl who disapproves of his brother and his artist world. When the Earl’s difficult ward is in need of a governess, Cara agrees to go to their country estate not to be a governess, but to help care for the child. Cara quickly wins over the handsome Henry who may just be willing to risk his heart again. Before they can truly explore their feelings, Henry’s mother arrives and throws a wrench into everything.

This story is filled with drama, secrets, and ultimately an inspirational message of forgiveness and redemption. Filled with rich historical detail and interesting characters, I was drawn in from the beginning and found I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen next. This book could be read as a stand alone, but it is much better read as part of the series.
