McGee charms readers with this story of a busy businessman and the feisty employee who wins his heart. Entrepreneur Blake Donovan decides he needs a wife, but he doesn’t want to expend the effort to find one. He hires Andrea Dawson, a plucky, impulsive marketer who has been blackballed within her own field, to play matchmaker. She doesn’t like her new employer at first, but she soon learns that the man isn’t quite as much of an automaton as he’d like her to believe—and she quickly begins to fall in love, even as she’s setting him up with others. Though at first Blake comes off as completely unlikable, McGee gradually reveals his heart with endearing details, such as his reaction to the puppy Andrea gives him and his playroom full of pinball machines. Andrea’s touching vulnerability grabs the reader’s sympathy from the beginning, and after the author softens Blake up, it’s easy to see why Andrea falls for him.

The first book in a new series by author Laurelin McGee (the pen name for authors Laurelin Paige and Kayti McGee) takes place in the modern matchmaking world. Narrator Angela Brazil uses her acting skills to great effect, making the banter sparkle and the repartee snap. Business mogul Blake Donovan wants to waste no time going on first date after first date, so he hires Andrea Dawson to act as his matchmaker and choose the perfect woman for him. But Blake and Andrea might not have the same end-goal in sight. While Brazil's narration itself is highly enjoyable, the book's unfortunate use of outdated phrasing with racist overtones mars an otherwise lighthearted romp.
