The Pheonix Club, Book 5

by Darcy Burke


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


The Phoenix Club? More like the Matchmakers Club! This clubs matchmaking prowess would rival that of the tons top matchmakers!


In this book the club’s owner sends his very talented bookkeeper to his reclusive friends estate to help sort out his books and get his estate profitable again.


Ada Treadway brings with bookkeeping and managing skills, along with her sunny personality along as she battles Maximillian Hunt, Marquess of Warfield  every step of the way to make his estate solvent.


Max is a grump and content to sit and watch his estate and his family legacy disappear. After he retuned from the war injured to find both his father and elder brother deceased, he has nothing but content for the title and estate that never should have been his.


This grumpy/ sunshine or beauty and the beast pairing worked beautifully as Ada’s cheer wears at Max and he slowly accepts the changes and improvements she initiates. But there was more than a lack of care for his estate holding back Max and Ada had her own past she was running from as well. 


In the end an acceptance of the others true character creates a bond that their class differences couldn’t break. These two absolutely completed the other and I loved seeing them discover that they made the other whole!


This was another Phoenix Club matchmaking success! A delightful Beauty and the Beast retelling through and through.



Note: this is the 5th book of the series, and author Darcy Burke does a great job setting up the characters and the background to have new readers jump in at this point, making this book easily read as a standalone.



Impossible by Darcy Burke was released April 19th, 2022.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
