Acerca de esta escucha
On the coach to Portsmouth, Miss Pym faces her most difficult matchmaking challenge yet. The lovely Miss Penelope Wilkins, daughter of a rich merchant, would be the perfect match for the handsome Lord Augustus, a nobleman whose fortune is almost depleted. Would be, that is, if the two were at all compatible. Though strikingly beautiful, the too-practical Penelope seems to stand on quite the opposite cliff from the carefree Lord Augustus.
But when the undaunted Miss Pym enlists their help in untangling an intrigue, and Lord Augustus steals an astounding kiss from the shocked Penelope, Miss Pym is convinced that her matchmaking expertise will soon bridge any chasm between the reluctant lovers!

Historia
The Earl of Tredair has had his fill of balls, routs, and silly misses, and he despairs of finding someone extraordinary - that is, until he meets Miss Fanny Waverley. Most unique and intriguing, Fanny and her two sisters are the adopted daughters of the reclusive bluestocking Madame Waverley. They have been raised as her disciples to spread the word of women's rights and to encourage poor oppressed females to stand up against the iniquities of the male sex. The beautiful and farouche Miss Fanny, however, finds it quite difficult to think of all men as cruel and lustful beasts....

In hopes to change their course, he establishes a "marriage campaign" to motivate them to improve themselves through making respectable matches. Peter, Elliott's eldest nephew, thinks the entire idea is ridiculous. A widower with two young daughters, he simply needs a governess, not a wife. Julia Hollingsworth has the credentials and the experience, but is too young and pretty for such a job. So why can't he stop thinking about her?

Best in the Series So Far
This is Hannah at her best. There is an innovation on the theme of the match being made by the end of the stage coach trip making the book more suspenseful. Even more likable well-drawn characters and more (realistic) adventure than the last books. This is the best book so far in an excellent series.

Penelope Goes To Portsmouth: The Traveling Matchmaker series, Book 3
Hannah Pym is back to her adventures again. This time she traveled to Portsmouth. She met her new companions on the stagecoach along the way, including a rich merchant’s beautiful daughter, Miss Penelope Wilkins and a very irresponsible, but devilishly handsome, Lord Augustus Railton. Of course Hannah can’t help herself in her matchmaking ways. The book had me laughing out loud quite a few times!

Cute & Entertaining Story!
This is only my 3rd M. C. Beaten book, all in "The Traveling Matchmaker" series.
I gave it 5 Stars, because I enjoyed listening to it, but I have to say I enjoyed the other 2 more.
I'm finding it harder to make wise choices for my listening pleasure lately, but feel pretty safe with M. C. Beaten books with Helen Lisanti narrating. Beaten is an entertaining read, with all the elements of a good book: adventure, romance, mystery & intrigue...with likeable characters and hateful villains.
I've just purchased #4 and look forward to hearing it.
If you haven't read/heard her books, I highly recommend them, and if possible starting with Book 1.

The suspense just keeps building!
Romance and mystery and some possible future revenge. Will our heroine ever get her own match?
Such an enjoyable book and such adventures! Still more odd facts shared about the era and, as with every book in the series, fabulous quotes at the beginning of each chapter

This one was a bit more exciting and enthralling than the others of this series. Not to give any spoilers but I want to hear how things go for Ms. Pimm. Her ongoing story is getting to be more interesting as the series goes on...
