About this listen

It's the perfect season for coming out …

***

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

But Lord Christopher Eden is no ordinary man …

Lord Eden has always preferred the comfortable company of his staff to the prying eyes of the debutantes at the ton’s latest soirée. So, when he receives word that he must find a wife by the end of the Season, or lose his fortune, Christopher knows that he can’t do it alone.

Enter the distractingly dashing – if rather stoic – James Harding. As Lord Eden’s mysterious new valet, James must ensure Christopher’s reputation appears as faultless as his cravat. But as sparks fly, and Christopher’s deadline to find love looms, will James find himself vying for the position instead?

Don't miss the brand-new trans regency romance from the beloved author of Chef's Kiss, perfect for fans of Alexis Hall and Casey McQuiston!

Tropes:

Trans romance

Enemies-to-lovers

Forbidden romance

Editorial Review

The sweetest slow burn
TJ Alexander ventures into Regency romance with The Earl Meets His Match, and I truly hope it won’t be their last. This grumpy x grumpy trans love story is as much about romance as it is about carving out a life where you truly belong. Lord Christopher Eden, a reluctant society figure, must secure a marriage before his next birthday in order to protect his family’s estate. Enter James Harding, a valet who is both distractingly handsome and frustratingly proper. What begins as a working relationship quickly simmers into something far more complicated. The slow burn in The Earl Meets His Match is full of longing, restraint and a tenderness that lingers long after the final chapter. With a found family that stole my heart and a performance by Harrison Knights that brings every moment to life, I couldn’t help but devour this charming listen in one sitting. —Patty R., Audible Editor
