Matchmaking Mamas #8
Once Upon a Matchmaker
Tres hombres… ¿Y la mujer perfecta?
Si a Micah Muldare le faltaba algo era tiempo. El atareado viudo no tenía horas suficientes para su exigente trabajo y sus dos pequeños hijos. Era evidente que en su vida no había lugar para el amor… hasta que Tracy Ryan llegó a ella.
Tracy ya había sufrido una vez por amor, así que había desistido de la idea de encontrar al hombre de su vida y formar una familia, pero le estaba costando mucho trabajo resistirse al guapo Micah, y a sus adorables hijos. Tal vez hubiese llegado el momento de cambiar su manera de ver la vida y de arriesgarse para conseguir tener la familia que siempre había deseado.

aka Marie Charles, Marie Michael, Marie Nicole, Marie Ferrarella
Marie Rydzynski was born on March 28 in West Germany to Polish parents. She moved to America at the age of four. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York.
Marie swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother." From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favourite shows. I was a detective on '77 Sunset Strip,' the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on 'Bonanza' and the 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.' before there was a 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.,' not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories of 'The Mickey Mouse Club.'" Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance! She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on the man she would marry, truly her first love, Charles Ferrarella. During her days at Queens College, New York, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specialising in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart. Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto,"the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, Nikky and Jessi, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
In November of 1981, she sold her first novel for Harlequin. Marie, who now has written over 150 novels, has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that her reader's enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

Good book. I really liked Micah. He had devoted his life to his sons and his work, because he didn't want to go through the devastating pain that he had gone through when he lost his wife. When he needed a lawyer, he was given Tracy's name by a friend of his aunt's. He didn't expect to be attracted to her. Tracy had given up on the idea of a family of her own and now spent all her time working. She hadn't had any trouble resisting the urge until she met Micah and his boys. I loved Micah's devotion to his family, and his boys were simply adorable. I liked the way he was so straight with Tracy about his legal problems and what it meant to him. I loved the way that Tracy bonded with Micah's sons so quickly, and how well she fit into his life. I also thought that the way she worked at proving Micah innocent of the charges was great. And, as always, I love seeing people from previous books show up in later stories.

Really enjoyed the story with the characters Micah Muldare father of two young boys & a wife who had passed away. Also, Tracy Ryan who is hired as his attorney. There was really nothing at all about the matchmaking mamas except at the beginning when they were looking the situation over with the couple. Otherwise, nothing so was disappointed there.

Classic Ferrarella
Tracy and Micah both have past marriages to overcome and with the help of two little boys, they do it. Micah has work issues and Tracy helps him with that when's she falls in love. Enjoyable and clearly written with Ferrarella's flair...
