I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't life changing but it was exactly what I was looking for at the time. Fun, low angst but enough drama to keep me interested. Overall a very good read. I'm hoping the series continues with some of Addison's matches.

Another really fun one from Entangled's Lovestruck imprint. Addison is a matchmaker that doesn't believe in second chances. She firmly believes that everyone has one soul mate and will never find another. Since hers has passes on, she's sworn off even trying to look for date for herself. Her friends sends her down south to try and find a match for her work-a-holic brother-in-law and things really get interesting.
Addison finds herself falling, but refuses to believe it's true. A good chunk of the book is about her running from her feelings. I enjoy this to a certain extent because everyone does this a little, but it lasted a bit too long and was dragged out a little too far. The rest of Addison's parts in the book were fantastic. She really takes her job seriously - even bringing a dog (and then some) to Caine's house to make him more "approachable". The dog was adorable - I want one (or a dozen) now.
Caine is your typical work-a-holic. He sleeps in the office most nights just because it's easier than driving home between 18 hour work days. It's the family business so he feels like he owes it to his father to prove himself and be successful. He's written off having anything else until Addison throws how miserable and boring his life is right in his face.
There is a good dose of healthy confrontation in this book. It was refreshing to see such real-life emotions come into play and tempers flare during conversations. There is just enough meddling to help things move along a bit - with plenty of lecturing on staying out of the lives of others in response. A real life romance that really hit the spot.

This was a fun lighthearted listen from Katee Robert. The conversations seemed so genuine and was an easy read. As usual, Katee also nailed the spicy scenes. There’s not a ton of them, but what is there is worth every page.

It's Regan's matchmaker best friend and Brock's older brother! I was excited when I made that connection. Addison frustrates me most of the time, but this book is fun. Caine tho. Caine.

3 stars. A nice mindless adult romance to help balance out the YA and action I've been reading. After reading Katee Robert's The Devil's Daughter, I thought I'd give another of her books a chance. This one isn't nearly as interesting as The Devil's Daughter, but this is not a romantic mystery/thriller- it's just romance. Reminds me why I have to have some action with my romance, because although this was cute, it was kind of boring. I did read it in less than two hours... so it is a quick romance read if that is what you're looking for.
