Stranded in England without money or a ticket home, Mercy Starling takes a job working for a medieval reenactment company. After all, who wouldn’t want to pretend to live in the past, wield swords and longbows, and dress up in armor? And the best part of her summer job is Bestwood Hall…or rather, its intriguing new owner.

Painfully shy Alden Ainslie is overwhelmed by the medieval reenactors who invade the Tudor house he’s renovating, but he’s drawn to the bubbly Mercy. And he valiantly joins in the fun, dodging not jsut arrows, lances, and the odd sword thrust, but also some pretty suspicious–and potentially deadly — attacks on himself. Someone wants him to give up on the house. But Alden is desperate to prove himself–and win the heart of his lady fair…

Light reading that still is unique and fun

Reviewed in Germany on 18 September 2016

Funny, sometimes quite ridiculous story that was great reading, for me, at this time! The story was definitely "light", but still in its way memorable.

This book was the third in a series. I am planning on reading the first two--not because I feel like I was missing something in this story (which could be read as a stand alone) but because I want to see if the author had the same ridiculous uniqueness in the other two books this novel had.

Oh, and a fourth book in this series is coming out.

Another 5 Star Book!

Once again, Katie MacAlister has given her readers a wonderfully well written story of fully developed characters, heartwarming romance and laugh out loud sense of humor.

In her third installment of the Matchmaker in Wonderland Romance, we meet Mercy Starling. An American and longtime student, stranded in England, the perky Mercy has a happenstance meeting on a train that leads her to a ruined Tudor home and lands a job with a medieval reenacting troupe teaching sword play. Her costume? A daring blue dress that Mercy wears as her armor. Alden Ainslie has never been considered confident. He is tongue tied and painfully shy with women. He hopes bringing his dilapidated inheritance to it's previous glory, will prove to his family and to himself that he is able to do more than to be a full-time student.

These two characters, who only seem to have their on-going education in common, have in instant physical attraction. But the more time they spend together, the more they find a deeper connection to one another. Mercy learns how to help Alden overcome his shyness and to find his inner strength. Alden brings Mercy a sense of purpose and of self-worth ~ with or without her blue dress armor!

Daring In a Blue Dress kept me interested and riveted. I vey much enjoyed the relationship between Mercy and Alden ~ it was endearing and felt 'real', not forced. Katie MacAlister has once again scored 5 stars!

The best of the "Matchmaker in Wonderland" series so far

Reviewed in the United States on 16 July 2016

The best of the "Matchmaker in Wonderland" series so far, although Gunnar (Book 2) is still really fun to read about. I LOVED this couple and found their dynamic hilarious! It was fun to see the Hard Day's Knights return from Katie MacAlister's "Hard Day's Knight" contemporary, and I loved the idea of Alden having severe anxiety dealing with (literally running away from) talking to women.

Mercy was fun, had that KM quirk and gumption that we've come to expect from a KM novel, but I don't like the secret that's revealed at the end. It seems like after all of their talk of honesty that Mercy would share her "secret" with Alden at some point towards the end and they'd have a laugh about it. Or, it could've turned into a major plot point between the leads to create tension in their budding relationship.

Most of the time KM's mysteries leave me guessing until the end, KM weaving a web of conspiracy and intrigue so complex it requires the epilogue to hash things out, but I knocked off 1 star because I predicted the overall mystery pretty quickly into the beginning of the story. The B-plots of dealing with the Hard Day's Knights and their event and the remodeling attempts (and attacks on Alden's life) were fun to guess about.

I wish I could see what houses KM was looking at that inspired her descriptions because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see them in person!

Great characters, hilarity, and fun! The best so far, even though Alden and Gunnar are on par for best Ainsley brother so far. Can't wait for The Perils of Paulie next!
