Title: Miss Match
Author: Laurelin McGee
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Release Date: June 30, 2015
Welcome to the sexy, crazy, wildly
unpredictable world of modern matchmaking, where fixing up strangers is part of
the job—but falling in love is an occupational hazard…
He's The Perfect Catch.
Blake Donovan is tall, handsome, rich, and successful—so why would a guy like him need a matchmaker? Andrea Dawson has no idea, but a job is a job. After being blackballed from a career in marketing, Andrea agreed to use her unique profiling skills to play matchmaker out of pure desperation. But when she meets her highly eligible—and particular—first client face to face, she wonders what she’s gotten herself into…
Is She His Perfect Match?
Blake knows exactly the kind of woman he’s looking for—and it’s the total opposite of Andrea. Though smart and undeniably sexy, she is simply too headstrong for a man who’s used to being in charge. Still, Blake’s blood pressure rises whenever she’s near him. How can he explain the smoldering attraction that sizzles between them? And how can Andrea deny she’s feeling it, too? Maybe, just maybe, they’ve finally met their match…

I don’t
know how a book can be cute and hot at the same time, but holy cow, Laureline
Page and Katie McGee know what the hell they are doing! This book is incredibly
fun, I loved every minute of it! They’ve put their own little twist on a story
line that’s been done and made it unique, almost exclusively because of the
characters. They will suck you right into their world, and you’ll never want to
leave.
Blake
is one of the most complex heroes I’ve come across and he is so different, I
was just entranced by him. He’s got the sexy alpha thing going for him,
definitely. Then of course there is the sweet, cuddly side, while throwing in
the hidden nerd and a little insecurity. I suppose there have been guys like
this in other romance novels, but Blake ties it all up in a bow with his
absolute naiveté. There were times when he was just so bewildered by the things
he was feeling and things that Andrea called him out on. She gets mad at him
for something and he is surprised because it wasn’t that he was being a jerk on
purpose, he doesn’t know any better and can’t figure out why other people
aren’t thinking like he is. It’s freaking adorable. He is sex on a stick for
sure, but the whole package is what makes you fall for Blake.
Andrea
is a spitfire. Her attitude is pretty hilarious at times, and at others, it
made roll my eyes in exasperation. She clearly has a huge heart and incredible
capacity for love, shown especially in her relationship with her sister.
However, it was actually pretty refreshing to see her first reaction to Blake.
She didn’t accept his assholery just because she was insanely attracted to him.
She was willing to walk away from a person she didn’t believe had any decency,
despite the money and his sexy ass. That was such a huge plus for her as a
character. I respected her and as well as enjoying her sarcasm and wit. It
takes a little while for her to be more open minded about Blake, but I truly
believe that is because she sees some of her old self in him.
The
banter between these two is fabulous. They both have a sarcastic wit that is
sharp and funny. However, they can also be silly, giving the scene a really
bright mood, putting a smile on my face. It was incredibly entertaining and there were
definitely moments when I laughed out loud.
These two also have an explosive
chemistry that had me reaching for the ice water. I hated for the book to end, but I really,
really wanted to see Andrea and Blake get their HEA.
If
you are looking for a really solid, great story that will make you laugh, smile,
and just leave you generally warm and fuzzy, look no further! This is one of
those books that I’ll return to again and again, when I need a ‘pick me up.’ 5
truly excellent stars!
Chapter One
Personal Concierge, to start
ASAP (Boston Area)
I am a successful
businessman looking for a wife. Due to a busy career and lack of energy or
interest to devote to the process, I am seeking someone to assist me in my
search. I am outsourcing the entire process, job to start immediately.
The
perfect candidate will be assertive, with excellent computer skills and a knack
for reading people. She—I am only seeking women to fill this position—will be
expected to:
• Meet me, get to
know me. Spend a week or so in my company to find out my interests, what makes me
tick. During this time she will come to understand the type of woman I expect
to fall in love with;
• Do all searching
activities on my behalf including online, in real life, on social media, networking,
and so on;
• Once possible
matches are identified, provide me with pictures and, upon my approval, arrange
dates for us to meet.
I
am attractive and financially secure. I do not have trouble finding women who
are interested in me. It is finding women that I deem interesting beyond the
physical that is the challenge.
While
this job can be done at home, I’d prefer that several hours a week be spent in
my company in order to keep a firm handle on what I expect in a love interest.
I will have private space available in both my home and office for the right
person to work.
Income
will be determined initially by the experiences the candidate brings to this
project. Additional income will depend on the quality of women found to date me
as well as how far the relationship(s) progresses—both emotionally and
physically. We can discuss a specific payment schedule during the interview
process.
Serious
inquiries only.
