Book Synopsis
Lucas Berkeley has a secret—one he cannot risk anyone discovering. After all, a future marquess belongs in drawing rooms, not underground boxing circles. Yet with a painful past and a need to control every aspect of his life, it is his only outlet. And when his brother begins to court the one woman who could ruin everything, Lucas needs the secret diversion more than ever.
Lydia Faraday is exhausted from living a life in which she has no say. When her taciturn guardian drags her to London intent on marrying her off, she determines to thwart his plans. If she is to have freedom in any aspect of her existence, it ought to be with whom she marries. And when a solicitor turns up with new information, she thinks that just might be possible. Or it may complicate her future further.
When Lucas and Lydia become entangled in a dangerous scheme, they cannot help but become closer, even as the obstacles between them grow. The last thing either is looking for is love. But their hearts have different plans.

My Review
First, let me say, the cover is beautiful! It pulls you into the story before you even turn the first page. Once you start reading, you quickly see that Karen Thornell has created something truly special. "No Match For Love" has become my favorite book by her. I found myself reading whenever I had a moment because I just couldn’t put down this slow-burn romance.
The main character, Lydia, is in London to find a husband at her guardian's request. She has never had control over her life and is eager for change.
Lydia soon meets Lucas Berkeley, a future marquess with his own secrets. After the loss of his twin sister, he has shut off his heart, believing her death is his fault. He channels his pain into boxing and other hidden activities.
This Regency Romance features two main characters who are flawed and hurting but are also innately searching for love. Lucas's gloomy attitude gets a shake-up from bright and determined Lydia, who begins to open his heart. I really enjoyed their playful exchanges and the way they struggled not to be drawn to one another. The double point of view is a great choice because this author creates such rich characters. I also loved Lucas's brother and parents.
I'm confident that fans of Regency Romance will enjoy "No Match For Love," thanks to its mix of mystery, relatable characters, unexpected twists, and the undeniable chemistry between Lydia and Lucas. Overall, this book is a total winner, and I’m excited to give it a five-star rating.
