Matchmaker for the Players

Rate this book
“Relax baby, let us in.”

When my ex left me at the altar a year ago, I wanted to curl up and disappear. I’d saved myself for that jerk—only to be betrayed.

Time to ditch the good girl act. I strap on my highest heels and go out to find a man. But instead of finding one man I find THREE—my best friend’s brothers and their hockey coach. And they ALL want ONLY me.

Rhett, the commanding and dominant coach, is a master at pushing my boundaries—and all my buttons. Landon, the smooth-talking defenseman, is my secret crush from high school. And Kellan, the ruggedly handsome goalie, makes me feel safe in his muscular arms.

This is not the life I had planned for myself. I used to have clear lines, strict rules. Things were simple—date one person, build something real, wait until marriage, not... this. This mess. This burning desire. These men.

But now that I’ve gotten a taste, there’s no turning back. All I can do is surrender to their intoxicating hold. And trust me, it's worth every delicious moment.

Matchmaker for the Players

A sweet and spicy read! I enjoy a good hockey RH story and watching Emma Grace fall in love is a delight.

This book started OK, but then it got strange. When she finally slept with Rhett, it felt off to me. That's when the book just started getting weird. It felt like Rhett was drunk or something, and I was expecting that to be the case. Nope, it just was what it was.

Then, after she was with the brothers, they were so mad at the coach and telling him to back off. But in the space of a few minutes after she showed up, everyone is ready to share? That seems like a quick and awkward turnaround for no reason.
Which then brings up another issue I had. How the heck did she even get to the locker room? You can't tell me there is no security. And I am sure a player's sister's best friend wouldn't be on the allowed list. This is supposedly the NHL, professional. And yet anyone can get in there? Then again, why didn't she just call? Wasn't she at work? How did she have time to just hop on over?

Proofreading-wise, there were some inconsistencies. A character replied to himself at one point. Plus, it felt like it jumped around a bit, where we might want to see the conclusion of the situation, but the next chapter is a few days later. It works when used properly, but is really annoying when used too often, like in this book.

I did like that this RH was different than most, as it had 3 different relationships that all decided to work together, rather than the usual multiple guys looking for a girl situation that you tend to see.
I don't like that there was no real conclusion with Damon other than pressing charges, and her boss just being up her own ass. I was hoping she would come around and at least apologize, but nope.

I don't think I would recommend this to someone, unless they are looking for and RH that is built from separate relationships. I doubt I would read this again, as there wasn't enough depth in here. I get that she was scared of being hurt, that they would run, but she was the one running.

This is a new author for me and I liked this book a lot. Emma Grace was jilted at the alter a year ago and struggling with her job as a matchmaker to help people find their other half when she felt like she was the worst person to be setting people up. She was always the good girl and doing what everyone expected of her so the last thing she expected was her childhood crush and best friend’s older brother Landon to walk into her job looking for a matchmaker. Landon’s and Kellan are her best friend’s brothers and they both play hockey and now they are even on the same team for the first time since they were kids. Kellan always had a crush on Emma Grace but he was scared to make a move because he knew she was his sisters best friend but also that Emma Grace had a crush on Landon, he just never expected Landon to maybe have feelings for her too. Throw into the mix her one night out to try to “shake off the good girl rep” ending up disastrously as she almost, (kinda sorta) hooked up with Rhett only to see him behind the guys at the hockey game because he is their coach!! This story was all over the place but in the best way possible and it was really interesting to see how the author juggled them around as they all made a play for Emma Grace alongside a creepy client from her matchmaking job. Love how protective the guys were of her and even from each other. 100% recommend

Professional Matchmaker Emma Grace is a V and was abandoned at the alter by her ex! She is still recovering after a year and goes looking for a good time at a bar with her bestie! There she runs into a hot older man who ends up signing up to teach her "lessons"
She has long time been in love with her besties older brother. And in turn their stepbrother has been in love with her!
Turnabout is fair play when she becomes involved with all three, individually then together!
Very fun read :).

OMG 😱 this was fantastic story. I love this story. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. Emma and this guys were physical attraction and the chemistry was sexual tension. But she had to choose between these guys and it was the hard thing that she had to do. Things about to heat up and complicated in this moment.
I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion. Trina Jones

3.5* - Rounded up to 4...

So, Emma Grace is only a matchmaker to one of the MMC's (Landon), but Rhett and Kellan have a connection with her as well...

This book explores all the characters adjusting to the idea of a Reverse Harem for the first time, while also adjusting to the relationships between all of them. There are a lot of complications, as well as another entitled character who is harassing Emma Grace.

There's a lot to unpack in this story, and it was an entertaining read.

Landon, Kellan and Rhett

This was such a good story about a good girl who wants to be bad after she is left at the altar. I had a few laugh out loud moments while reading this book. Reading the dynamic between step brothers, a coach and Emma was fun, especially when she tried to help be the matchmaker to one. I felt bad for her and could understand how she was made to feel after being left. Highly recommend this book.

A newer author for me but has become one I look forward to new reading their releases. This book had something you don't see in most RH where they all didn't set out looking for a RH but an individual relationship with our FMC. I enjoyed the bits of drama sprinkled in throughout the story. Overall, it was a really enjoyable read.

When Emma is left at the altar by her ex, she decides to toss her good girl persona for something more provocative. It lands her two brothers along with their coach for a mixture that burns with intensity. Will their connection bring them happiness. This exciting story kept me glued to the pages.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

Well written.

I loved how Emma Grace stepped out of her comfort zone and tried to find her new path. She had been devastated by her ex and found herself struggling with her self esteem. I wish that the story had more about them settling into their combined lives. There was nothing wrong in this book. I was just greedy to live more of their lives via the written word.

Story 2.5⭐️ Spice 3🌶️
This book has a lot of inconsistencies and repetition. The relationship seems very surface level despite their declarations of love. The writing style leaves a lot to be desired.

good book,

Good story, but a lot of repetition (phrases and actions.) Damon did the same thing every time he was mentioned.

Otherwise a good story, I enjoyed it. Nice quick read.

This was a good book, but it was a little too long in some places. The part with Damon was a little bit too much.
