My review 

I was kindly given A Good Match For The Major by the author Josie Bonham, in return for my honest review. Its an author I had never heard of and had stumbled across by chance on an online group. It came at just the right time, as I was looking for something lighthearted and had been pondering on whether to buy a historical romance, I had even looked at Jane Austen's - Emma.

After reading the first few chapters, I knew this was going to be a book that I was going to enjoy, my husband moaned "are you reading again" on several occasions which can only mean one thing, I could not put it down. 
This book had some wonderful characters throughout who we got to know well, but it was mainly based around two complex, lovable characters, Lady Eliza and Major Overton. Both had baggage from their pasts and were trying to find happiness. The ups and downs of their encounters and their overall attraction to each other made for some exciting reading.
It was a steady moving plot throughout and I was surprised by how many twists and turns were crammed into the story-line, it often left me wondering what would happen next, and wishing them their happy ever after. 

Overall this book is a real page tuner, if you enjoy regency romance then its definitely worth a read. I thought it was very well written, compelling and it certainly left me wanting more.
Thank you Josie Bonham for the very enjoyable read. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
