My Rating: FIVE SEXY STARS*****
The Matchmaker Series was my very first experience with Ellie Danes but once I began reading, I was not only impressed, I was completely hooked! By the end of the first chapter, I was more than a little intrigued by the storyline and characters of It Takes Two. I initially read and reviewed this series under the Kindle Unlimited program when it was originally offered as installments of an ongoing serial and looked forward to each release. Actually, that's an understatement. I could hardly wait for Danes to release each book. In fact, I enjoyed this series so much that I asked if I could be member of her street team. Apparently, this was the first release of her career but I immediately recognized her talent and was eager to jump on the band wagon. Fortunately, you can now read all six books of the series in one convenient bundle. So, that being said, I would very much like to share my original review.
The story is exciting, intriguing, imaginative, well crafted, romantic, sensual and arousing. There were a few editing errors but over all the story is well written and the dialogue is well executed 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! What did I love about this series? Everything! What didn't I like? Not a darn thing! Would I recommend this series? You bet I would! So, if you're looking for a great read, give Ellie Danes a whirl. It's a decision you'll never regret! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
