The Gentleman’s Confession is the third book in the Matchmaking Mamas series by Anneka Walker! Just for full disclosure, I have not read the previous two (yet). I do not feel like I was missing out on anything - this novel could be read as a stand-alone!
My favorite part of this book was our main male character - Miles! He was so well-written and felt like such a real person to me. He is a vicar but we get to see the human side of his character as he works through his feelings for the previously off-limits Jemma. His self-sacrificing nature, heart for others, and inability to handle conflict well (all the gaggle of ladies!) make him a truly endearing character to read!
I would consider this a slow-burn, friends to more read. The first half of the book was rather slow for me but once I hit halfway, it picked up and I was sucked in. Even though you could see some of the plot twists from miles away, the give-and-pull relationship between Miles and Jemma was enough to keep you entertained and flipping the pages. Their relationship was such a cute take on the friends to more trope! Overall I found this an entertaining read and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a matchmaking, friends to more, historical, sweet, and clean read!
Thanks to the author and the publisher, I was given a free advance copy of this novel to read and review. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own!
