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…
First off what a fun book!! If you are looking for something fun and light this is the perfect story for you! It starts out with Andrea (Andy) needing a job – she is living with her sister Lacy and the money is running out. She reads a wanted ad for a CEO Blake looking for a wife and needs someone to help him find one. Andy has a very unique skill of profiling people something that makes her uniquely qualified for this unconventional job opportunity. When she goes to meet Blake for the first time sparks start to fly between them (though both try to deny it) she thinks he is an arrogant jerk she is totally not his type and the fun starts from there.
I really enjoy dual POV’s and the authors do a great job of it here. I have read other stories from Laurelin Page (nothing from Katie McGee) and Laurelin does a great job with the dual POV’s and to me its easy to follow in this story.
Everything from Blake saving Andy from an over eager customer (so funny) and moving her into his office to her sabotaging his dates they begin to realize they have more in common then they thought and you cant judge a book by its cover. As they get to know each other they become more and more relaxed to the point were they are opening up and really seeing that they are meant to be. I did find some of Blake’s dialog a little stiff – I get he is a rich CEO I just am not sure if people communicate that way. Also the miscommunication between Andy and Blake at the end of the story seemed a little forced and could have been easily solved (by go figure communicating).
That aside, overall it’s a great summer read to enjoy by the pool with a tall cold drink. I can’t wait to read the next story – hopefully Lacy is next.
