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!
