This was such a cute Valentine's Day buddy read! It wasn't on my radar and it's always fun to find something new.
Matchmaker Cassandra Reynolds finds herself in need of a match of her own so she has a plus one to her estranged father's wedding. Enter Luke Dawson, who takes it upon himself to do the matchmaking. With a great mix of romance and family drama, there's never a dull moment.
I'm picky with romance. It's definitely a mood thing for me. I'm glad I gave this one a try because I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected not being in the zone for this genre at the moment. I'm glad that this is a series for when I am looking for a romance read sometime in the future. The writing style, especially with an overuse of euphemisms and cliches, wasn't my favorite, but the plot made up for a lot of it.

This was surprisingly good! Cassie and Luke were absolutely adorable together and I loved seeing their relationship come together.
Cassie especially was such a refreshing main character, who worked so hard for her goals and was just really admirable as a business woman. She's open about never being able to be a housewife and stay with kids all day and I loved that! Yes! Give me more of that in romance please!
Luke sometimes got a bit too possessive for my taste but it was all still acceptable for a romance. And he did own up it, so, something else we don't see often in romance.
Tbh, I only read this so I could get to the second one but now I'm looking forward to it even more :)

The emotional abuse, toxic relationship and infidelity all relate to the mc's parents, not the li!
