The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Never fall in love with the client. A simple thing to remember . . . unless you're a matchmaker with amnesia.

The Duke of Rydstrom requires a wife. Preferably one with a large fortune and a complete lack of curiosity. The last thing he needs is a meddling matchmaker determined to dig up his dark family secrets.

All Jacinda wants is to find a bride for a duke. How hard could that be? He's handsome, enigmatic . . . and hiding something. She's sure of it. Determined to discover what it is, she travels to his crumbling cliffside estate. Yet, by the time she washes up on his beach, she can no longer remember who she is or why the duke is so familiar to her. All she knows is that his kisses are unforgettable--and she intends to use every skill she can to discover what's in his heart . . .

When Miss Bourne can't remember what brought her to his ancestral home, Rydstrom intends to keep it that way. Yet as the days pass, his true challenge will be safeguarding his secret while resisting this woman who--confound it all--may well be his perfect match.

Vivienne Lorret should be on your author list for writing excellent HR romances that have wicked fun banter and sensual tension. The first in her new series, How to Forget a Duke, is a nice start to what is sure to be an enjoyable trilogy of the Bourne sisters. The sisters run a matchmaking service in London that caters to the haute ton, although their Viscount of an uncle is the front man because of course women don't "work". This matchmaking trilogy quotes Emma by Jane Austen throughout the book and each sister has a volume of Emma from their departed mother. They each seem to embody one of Emma's characteristics and the first sister, Jacinda, has her relentless persistence and inquisitiveness. This does not bode well for their most high profile client to date, the Duke of Rydstrom. Rydstrom has secrets that he doesn't want revealed in his pursuit of a wife. Jacinda cannot leave it alone however, and travels to Rydstrom's castle to get to the bottom of the matter. Unfortunately she has an accident on the way and wakes up near the property with amnesia and Rydstrom has no choice but allow her to stay in his home while she recovers.

This is a slow burn of a romance, but once the fire ignites, that's it, it's pretty hot. Rydstrom is extremely rigid and Jacinda is extremely impulsive so they are the epitome of opposites. It's actually funny how quickly he has her figured out and she really pushes his buttons. The process of her figuring herself out since she has no memory is good and the villagers add a nice hometown element to the story.

If I had a complaint it would be that Rydstrom's transformation was a bit abrupt. One moment he is practically growling at her and the next he is calling her darling. Not a big deal though but part of why this was a 4 star instead of 5.

Highly enjoyable read and looking forward to the other two sisters' stories.

So perfect! I love a stuffy, glowering hero with good heart, a heroine with wit and pluck, and the sharp-witted banter between them---and this story delivers on all three with sparkles on top. It has so much heart and such rich and lovely characters (all of them!) plus a soupçon of heat. Several times it literally brought tears to my eyes with heartbreak and joy. I didnt want to put it down (even sneaking a few moments at work because I just couldn't wait to continue) and I'm sure I will revisit it again. Lorret never disappoints, but this is one of her very best. Going on the all-time favorites list. I had grown a bit bored with historicals lately, wondering if they had grown stale for me, but this book has fully renewed my love of the genre and I am starting the next in the series immediately.

Beautifully Written!

A beautiful love story set to quotes from Emma; Jane Austen's witty novel about happless matchmaker, Emma Woodhouse. The middle sister of three, Miss Bourne, of the Bourne Matchmaking Agency, is to find a heiress, for a glowering Duke, who has secrets to hide! He has no intention of his wife living with him at his home in Whitecrest,
a rundown Castle by the sea, his secret is safe with his loyal family servants. One of my favorite quotes of the book is when Miss Bourne tells the Duke, " I will always find my way back to you." When the Duke tells her, " I wished that I had locked us both in the tower, and thrown away the key!" Sigh! This will make my too 20 list this year, absolutely loved it!
I highly recommend! Thank you!

Amnesia Romance

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022

There's something about the amnesia trope in historical romance that I just love.
This time around we got a matchmaker and the Duke she is supposed to be helping find a bride.
This was funny and romantic.

This book was an absolute joy to read! I just adored Jacinda with her wonderfully endearing personality. It took me a little longer to like Crispin (and even longer to get used to his name; which made me think of fried chicken each time I read it). As the book progressed you got to see more of who he was inside and why he came across as somewhat cold. There were no real villains in this book and I kind of liked that. His aunt came across as one but even she wasn't as bad as we thought. Now I can't wait for Book Two to come out and learn all about Briar!

Heroine was terrible but the rest of the book is worth reading

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

Crispin is an intriguing hero and you root for him but oh man... Jacinda is REALLY unlikable. She breaks into his home, reads his letters, snoops in his house while suffering from amnesia?! Why?? It is insanely rude and really doesn’t work for me. Her need to find “answers” is just double speak for a snosey AF woman who needs to mind her own business. I honestly don’t get why she feels entitled to everyone’s secrets/private lives. It bothered me a lot. It appears to be her only personality trait and it was unendingly annoying. A quote from Crispin sums her up perfectly: “Your curiosity seems more like a swarm of wasps, stinging repeatedly, without tiring.” The book is well written and I persevered to the end. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t mind a thoroughly unlikable heroine.

My heart! I finished this last night and I am still thinking about it. I adored adored adored How to Forget a Duke and it's all because Vivienne Lorret makes her characters so lovingly real that I was deeply invested in each page, and I couldn't turn them fast enough. Lorret's writing is always so captivating that I am drawn in, and my emotions are literally hanging on a string. Jacinda and Crispin with their push and pull, and the banter and the KISSES.......SWOON!!!! I cannot wait to start Briar's book which is sitting on my kindle! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it! It made me look forward to reading more about Jacinda's sisters. I enjoyed the memory loss storyline as that's not something you get all the time. The book had lots of humor, which I love, especially at the beginning. When she was "investigating" him, Jacinda kept me laughing. I recommend to anyone who wants a love story that is romantic and funny.
