Calling on the Matchmaker by Jody Hedlund
4.0
This was my first book by Jody Hedlund. I love her writing style and the historical aspects of this book! I can tell that she did her research! The characters were so fun! I am a big fan of the matchmaker.
This book is labeled Christian fiction, but I feel that it is missing vital components to fulfill the Christian fiction label. I am glad that we got to see some great personal growth of the characters. The characters let go of the guilt they have carried with them for a long time, but they do not seek forgiveness or restoration from God. The characters follow Catholic beliefs instead of the Gospel, and I would have liked to see more of the Gospel in this book.
Content Warning:
-Very focused on physical attraction
-Slight graphic scene of the death of a child
*This is a historical Christian closed-door romance.
