Synopsis

***This book is part of the Power of the Matchmaker series that features one recurring character—the match maker—but it is a STAND-ALONE novel.***

Celia is in desperate need of a change–a change of scenery, a change of pace, and a complete redo of all relationships. Not knowing what else to do, she opens a map, closes her eyes, and lets fate decide her future. Then she packs her meager belongings and buys a one-way ticket to a little town on the fringes of Oregon’s Deschutes National Forest called Sisters. She’s wanted a family for years. Will she find one in Sisters?

What Celia doesn’t plan to find is a strange Chinese woman whose meddling ways keep throwing her in the path of a handsome, but reserved, forest ranger. But no matter how kind or dependable Silas seems to be, there are some things in Celia’s past that neither of them can escape, and this time, the damage might be too much to mend.

Review

This is one of the first books that has the Matchmaker as one of the characters. (Power of the Matchmaker was the novella that introduces Pearl)

I thought that Pearl would be more in this story but she is just at the beginning (first few chapters) and then in the last chapter. But I suppose the book would need to focus more on Celia and Silas as the couple she introduces and then lets fate run its course.

Both Celia and Silas have issues, but nothing that can’t be overcome with time and understanding. I like that neither is perfect but they are perfect for each other.

I definitely enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what other authors have come up with for Pearl’s adventures in matchmaking.

We give this 4 paws up.
