This book was such a fun read. 

A matchmaker that falls in love with the man her client is meant to marry? Now, that’s something you know I’ll enjoy. And I did. 

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this was written considering I’ve never heard about this author before. 

The author did an amazing job at capturing the chemistry between the characters. You could really tell that Hildy and Toby were meant for one another. The tension, incredible. The slow-burn, Immaculate. 

I feel in love with Hildy. I loved how headstrong was. What can I say? I have a soft spot for a heroine that knows what she wants and is willing to take it, society be damned. 

My only problem was with the second half of the book. While the storyline started up great, the last few chapters were disappointing, not because they were bad but because they felt forced. Reading those last chapters felt like reading drama, for the sake of drama. Things were happening left and right, and don’t get me started on the miscommunication. It was just not as enjoyable as the first half of the book was. 

I cannot wait to read more from this author, and more of this series. I am hooked! 

Thank you Netgalley and Wolf publishing for this ARC, and for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
