The whirlwind had a name—Constance Martin!

My Best Friend's Earl (Bluestocking Booksellers #2) by Bethany Bennett             

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When Althea Thompson talks Constance Martin, a feisty bookseller, into becoming her ‘match breaker’, Althea’s fiancé, Oliver Vincent, the Earl of Southwyn little knew what he was in for! Oliver and Althea’s sister Dorcas had been betrothed by their respective fathers since they were in their cradles. After Dorcas died, that honor moved down to sister number two, Althea!

Oliver’s not moving onto cancelling the engagement for several reasons. He has his eye on a piece of land that the river that runs through. Land his father had lost in a card game with Althea’s. Crops are failing all over England and Oliver is looking for another way to support his estate and his tenants. The land is part of Althea’s dowry. Besides Oliver has known Althea since childhood and doesn’t trust Althea’s father not to force Althea into a marriage with someone distasteful. 
Now Oliver is a man of habit. Lord Stuffy Pants is Constance’s moniker for him. This is what Constance hones in on in her ‘match breaking’ ventures.
Constance is a bundle of energy, darting from one project to another and delights in shocking society.
Part 1 of the battle is to introduce chaos into Oliver’s life, and Constance does that in spades.
Disconcertingly, Constance is discovering how much she admires Oliver’s ability to cope.
Oliver finds himself constantly delighted by Constance’s ability to jump from one course of action to another, all the time chattering away at top speed. He’s delighted by the diversity of thought, the originality that Constance is.
Part 2 is a party where the guests misbehave.
The stage is set. The games afoot. Disconcertingly Constance finds Oliver rather less  stuffy than she’d anticipated. And Oliver?
A rather jolly and witty romp that delighted me!
