THE MATCHMAKER FINDS LOVE !!! Wow! I must say, I'm more than a little intrigued by It Takes Two, The Matchmaker Series by Ellie Danes. This is the sixth and final installment of the serial and it is absolutely captivating and a brilliant continuation of the story. Yes, I said serial. This is not a stand alone story so readers, please be forewarned. Personally, I love serials. It's like watching my favorite weekly TV shows and if you have Kindle Unlimited like I do, then it's good as gold. So, now having said that, back to the story. It's exciting, fascinating, intriguing, romantic, sensual and arousing. There are a few editing errors which are a little distracting but over all the story is well executed and the dialogue is well written, intelligent and flows beautifully. The characters are captivating, engaging and sexy as sin. Danes skillfully combines these elements to craft an enthralling and intoxicating read. Harper is a 24 year old grad student barely making ends meet on her salary from her part time job at the bar. She has always been able to match up everyone but herself. She's just unlucky in love. Hopefully, this latest breakup fiasco with Jake will teach her a lesson. And now Jake won't leave her alone! He says he's sorry! Yuk! She always falls for the wrong guys. Maybe she's just looking in all the wrong places. And after attending a disastrous mixer with her best friend and roommate Avery, she's even more convinced that she's doomed to always meet the wrong guy. Yep, just cursed never to find love. What Harper couldn't know but hopefully will soon learn, she has been noticed by Mason Asher, the 'big cheese' of matchmakers. He's handsome, charming, wealthy and knows what he wants and usually gets it. And he very much wants Harper to come back to the mansion and is not above coercing her best friend Avery to get what he wants. As a favor to Avery, Harper returns to the mansion or as I like to call it, the lion's den, and Mason finally makes an appearance to introduce himself to the lovely Harper but only as Mason. He very conveniently neglects to tell her that he's the infamous "Asher". Oh my goodness! And now he wants her to work at the mansion but Harper still doesn't know who he really his. And just how does he think he's going to get away with that and not reveal his identity? Whatever his plan, he fails miserably and now he's done the one thing that Harper can never forgive. He's committed the cardinal sin, the colossal no-no of all time - he lied - albeit a lie of omission, it's still a lie to Harper! But is his interest professional or is it personal? I think we all know by now that it's more than just professional but how much more? Can he convince her to forgive him or will her ex-boyfriend Jake finally have his revenge? Hmmm....Well, I guess you'll have to read the series to find out and the entire series is already available! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
Wow! All in the name of love! A couple of loose ends, but the conclusion to Mason and Harpers' story continued to be exciting and eventful, leaving no doubt that love will conquer all if we keep our hearts open and forgiving. The heat level continues to build between this couple, and as they come to terms with their pasts and forge ahead with their futures, their friends are still there, each cheering them on in their own ways. Well written, full of excitement, suspense and love, this series is worth the read. Looking forward to the spin-off with Avery's story. I'm sure this "high maintenance" girl will give us a surprise or two or three along the way. Well done!
I am actually quite sad to see this series come to a close. I have become a huge fan of Ellie Danes since she started releasing these novellas.
This was the final installment int he Matchmaker Series and I was sad to see it come to a close but the series itself was stunning for lack of a better word. It has been full of Suspense, Drama, Sex, it is very fast paced and complex, full of surprises and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Ellie Danes has this amazing talent for including the reader to make them feel like they are apart of the story and takes them along on the journey as the story line progresses. This story picks up right where the last installment ends Harper is frantically trying to determine what has happened with Mason and to her dismay Natalie is less than forthcoming with information. Harper is going through a rough time blaming herself for what is going on with Mason and his injuries, it is unclear as to whether Mason and Harper are going to be able to move past this and the events leading up to the current circumstances. I will say this was a quick read but a great read and a fantastic ending to the series!
I loved this book so much I couldn't put it down till the end. I wanted more when it was over and checked the Authors website to see when the next parts in the series will release.
This story was very sensual and interesting. The way they made a business out of matchmaking and the way they went about doing it was different than anything I've ever heard of before. It made the whole thing a lot more exciting.
I can't wait for the continuation of the series and who will be matched next!
****I received this ARC in exchange for an honest Review.****
The storyline started very weird for me, and I found it kind of weird. I think there was so much more potential for the series, with a possibility for more "meat"around parts. The ending was decent, but there could have been "more" to it.
