The Matchmakers
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they just might make a perfect match...
Nick Garret is jaded, cynical, footloose and corruptible. He’s flypaper for easy women, and he likes it that way. They stick for a while, then fly away. So does he.
Calliope is a banished Fae on probation for granting a wish gone bad. Her punishment is Nicholas Garret, deemed unredeemable by Freya, the Fae Goddess of Love. Calliope’s task is to help Nick unite three couples in everlasting bliss before the night of the Oak Moon.
If they fail, they will both lose any chance at ever having true love, and Callie will lose her wings live the rest of her life as a mortal.
Callie has her work cut out for her, and Nick has no idea just how much trouble a wingless fairy can be.

About the author
Jennifer Colgan
31 books35 followersAn avid reader all my life and an aspiring writer since the age of ten, I realized my dream of becoming a published author in 2005. Inspired by the romance novels I devoured as a teen and the science fiction classics, I wanted to combine those elements into my stories. Since beginning my career, I've branched out from science fiction romance into paranormal, contemporary and even historical genres and I hope to continue bringing sexy adventurous tales to my readers for decades to come.
I currently live in the NY-NJ Metropolitan area with my husband of seventeen years, two creative children, a slightly neurotic Dalmatian and two spirited black cats. When not hard at work on a novel or short story, I spend my time reading, quilting and haunting the local craft stores.

Nick Garret, a womanizing construction worker who is so commitment phobic that he can't even commit to living in the same town for any length of a time, and Calliope, a matchmaking fairy who is down to her last chance to do her job right, have to team up to help three couples find true love or else both members of the matchmaking pair will lose their own ability to love forever.
As a kindle freebie, I gave this a try. I had no expectations when I picked it up - other than having been warned that as a Samhain release it might be erotic - but even though it appears that several of the author's other books fall into that category, this one wasn't. In fact, the description of the story's single love scene, while not quite a 'fade to black', was very subtle. If I had blinked I'd have probably missed it altogether, but there was just enough there to get the job done.
So, I was pleasantly surprised by this light enjoyable read. It was actually a pretty cute story. Our fairy Calliope was charming, and our initially less than heroic hero Nick was highly redeemable. But the part of my experience with The Matchmaker that really caught me off guard was the amount of emotion that the author, Jennifer Cogan, managed to evoke at the end of the book. It is rare that a book will move me to tears, but this one definitely had me misty when Nick finally discovers the ability to be passionate about parts of his life and still looks to be destined to lose that love forever.

This book was cute without crossing the line into too cute. I think it was Nick. He was one of those guys that could have been a massive jerk even when he was trying to be nice but instead he came across as a guy who was trying to be good but just kept screwing it up. I don't know. It worked for me.
Callie was sweet but she was so involved in making sure everyone else was getting their perfect ending that she didn't see what was right in front of her. Which made the way she kept turning Nick down kinda hilarious.
Short and sweetly sexy. I liked it. A lot.

Entertaining and Cute
How, exactly, does a banished Fae get self-confessed and rootless commitment-phobe Nick Garret to realize that time is quickly running out on his ability to love when he's so dead set against the emotion to begin with? Sure, he's never met a woman he didn't lust, but he lives life just a packed duffel bag away from footloose and fancy free. His views on women are stereotypical and grim enough to make a faerie curse, and while he does have some scruples, he tends not to examine a woman's words too closely out of fear of brushing against them before he can have her.
Convincing Nick that he's got until the night of the Oak Moon to work with her in joining three couples in true love or the Fae Goddess Freya will strip both of them of their ability to love isn't Calliope's only burden, either. She's got to convince him she's not human, that Fae exist, and he's not losing his mind. Oh, and there's that pesky issue about his absolute disbelief in the concept of love, let alone his willingness to help six people find it. For a Fae of the caste that governs the fulfillment of destiny with a specialty in love, there's really only one way to start...
Step in front of his truck as he exists the freeway on a stormy night and force his truck into a ditch. Yeah. That'll do it.
It's going to be a long two months for both of them.
This is my first read of a Jennifer Colgan book and once again I'm left feeling grateful for my Kindle, as Amazon offered this as a free download. Don't let the premise of the book fool you into thinking it's a ridiculous effort, because Colgan definitely shows off her writing chops despite the fanciful and slightly silly premise. The Matchmakers impressed me as a charming, slightly off center, light paranormal romance that touched on some sweet emotions and showed admirable restraint and aplomb in redeeming both Nick, who most obviously needed it, and Callie, whose needs were more subtle but also important.
I enjoyed the humor and the tone of the book, and the solid pacing kept me interested through to the end. I was particularly impressed with Nick's evolution from jaded disbeliever to reluctant believer. The greatest strength in the book lies in his character's very realistic reactions to the sharp left turn his life has just taken. Colgan took her time with him and didn't force inorganic acceptance, maintaining his firm footing in the "real" world, a footing that ever so slowly erodes as the plot progresses and options dwindle.
The depth in the secondary and ancillary characters were another boon for the book, as the cast ran the gamut from a drop dead hottie chef to a married-to-their-job contractor and managed to blend them all together in a comfortable atmosphere with a small town bar as the focal point of the setting. I liked and admired how Colgan refrained from tying up all the loose ends in characters' relationships, too, or having everyone involved tucked neatly into their boxes by the end. It added a sense of reality and kept Nick and Callie's task from feeling too sticky-sweet or cliched at the conclusion.
It's a simple plot, really, and there were a couple of threads that didn't completely thrill me. There was a lack of development in the plot thread about Nick's work site vandal, and much mentioned but not explained about the peculiarity of one of the pairings in the book. The ending was very predictable from the start, though still endearing, and there wasn't much else in the book that I would consider a plot twist. Nick was definitely my favorite character, and I was, again, very impressed with his development. I had moments when Callie got on my nerves, though, with her steadfast inability to see what was right in front of her. For all that she was a love Fae, she wasn't exactly quick on the uptake about her own feelings. And she pined for home through the whole of the book. After awhile that aspect felt just a tiny bit repetitive.
Honestly, though, those issues were small in comparison to my very thorough enjoyment of this fun, cute story and my pleasure at the discovery of an author I hadn't previously encountered. Based on my enjoyment of this book, I've downloaded a couple of other titles by Colgan, and am interested in a couple more, so I suppose the free read did it's job. In the end, that's about as big an endorsement as I can offer.

I'm not going to get around to writing a full review of this, but here are a few thoughts:
Things I liked:
- Nick's character development
- The Fey, and related world-building
- the small-town vibe
- the romance
Things I didn't like/didn't get:
- Not quite sure of the definition of "true love" - it seemed a bit malleable.
- some of the other characters grated on my nerves (I can't recall names, as I am writing this a couple of weeks after finishing).
- the last couple of chapters confused me a bit, but I was glad it worked out all right in the end.

This book makes my young adult romantic heart squee with joy. The two of them simply can't agree and end up being the most unlikely couple! I will definitely be rereading very soon!

Two wrongs don't make a right, but they just might make a perfect match...
Nick Garret is flypaper for females, and he likes it that way. Women stick for a while, and when it's over they fly away. So does he. Then one rain-slick night a young woman steps in front of his pickup truck, and his jaded, cynical life takes a sharp swerve toward trouble.
Calliope did the only thing she could think to get Nick to steer his truck-and his life-in a new direction. Banished from the Fae realm for granting a wish gone bad, her punishment is an impossible task; redeem the unredeemable Nick Garret. If she fails to help him pair three couples in everlasting bliss, he's doomed to never experience real love. And she will share his fate - as a mortal.
Nick can't decide if this charming, exasperating woman is a dream come true, or a saucy, sexy nightmare sent to drive him insane. Yet something about her makes him want to rise to her challenge. He-ll do anything to make her stick around a while. Besides, how much trouble can one half-naked, seemingly wingless faerie be?
Warning: This title contains sensual love scenes, mischievous Fae, removable wings and hot men in tool belts.

Nick was driving home one night and he felt a bump on the side of his truck. He started freaking out because he thought he killed someone or ran over something, so he got out of his truck to look around, and when he found no-one he got back in his truck...to see a lady sitting in the passenger seat.
Calliope tries to convince nick she's real, but he doesn't believe her, and thinks he's crazy for seeing her. Calliope has a few tricks up her sleaves, like she can disappear and pop out of nowhere(which she's been doing alot to nick since she meant him), and she can change her outfit within a blink of an eye, and some other things...but she has to try and win nick's trust so that she and him can work together to get three couples together to experience true love, or else they both will have to face the fate of never ever having the chance to experience true love.
Later on Nick falls for Calliope, and when the day comes and they acomplished what they were paired up to do, she left. and calliope relized that her world and her heart belonged to nick, so she told the love goddess ferya that she loves nick and that she wants to be human, so that happens and she and nick get back together in the human world.

A sweet little romance story about fear of commitment, finding a home, and fairies.
Read on for my diatribe regarding the audio version:
This narrator is actually READING the book!! *SIGH*
I do not like writing bad reviews, but I gotta do this for my fellow man (and woman). The narrator of the Audible edition is, literally, READING the book. There is little to no inflection and her almost monotonous recitation of what should be an intense moment at the beginning of the story puts one into an almost catatonic state. She did, however, do a pretty good job dropping the f*bomb. I'm 13:30 into it and considering dropping the $4 at Amazon for the Kindle edition.
1:19:58 into the narration and I am ready to bang my purple ear-buds (never my iPod!!) against the wall!!!
I'm being saved!!! I am going to use that hand "loan" feature on my Kindle (I know, but I am trying to be "frugal.") to READ the book. Thank you, Christie!!

2.5 stars. It was decent. Not great, but 'it was ok' as the goodreads ratings state. The writing was reasonably decent and the plot was ok. The supporting characters were not very detailed and there was a subplot that only vaguely connected to the rest of the story. But the main characters were likeable enough and the development of their relationship was believable (if you suspend your disbelief regarding the faerie part). In fact, I think that Callie was actually more interesting when she wasn't a faerie. Nice ending and an easy read. If you want a quick, easy one for the Kindle, this wasn't a bad choice.
However, I can't remember if I got it for free when I downloaded it (I think so), but I can say if I did, it did what the freebies are usually supposed to do, which is get you to buy the author's other stuff. Eh, not sure if I'll bother read her again. It at least tied me over until I could pick up my new books at the library today.

3.5 stars. Free download for nook (still might be, and also for kindle).
Cute, fun, light, sweet, etc, type of read. Take one mischievious fae that's in trouble who's forced to team up with a human male to bring three couples together, and you have a fun and predictable story. It's no surprise that the matchmakers will eventually fall under the love spell, but it's still cute to watch.
The content is pretty mild, for those that prefer sweet or YA romance. The only sex scene had no detail, and only lasted for a couple of paragraphs.

Callie, a Fae who finds true love for others, has been banished from the Fae Kingdom to live with humans. She has been assigned to work with the rake and all out enemy of true love, Nick Garrett. They both must work together and "hook up" three couples with true love in an allotted amount of time. The reason Callie was given this assignment is because she must atone for meddling where she should not have. If they do not succeed, neither Callie or Nick will ever know true love.
Very cute, clean romance. There is a little bit of loving at the end; but, nothing lascivious.

I would classify ‘The Matchmakers’ as a new guilty pleasure, not that there is anything guilty about it, but it was a sweet (albeit predictable) love story. Some people would classify this as a paranormal romance, but I think (even though there were Fae and magic) it would be more romance than pnr, just my opinion of course. I thought that the transition for Nick was a realistic one, reluctant to reluctantly smitten to love. I think that was why Cali was assigned to him to open him up before he forever shut down. Anyway, it was a good story and worth a read.
January 13, 2011
This was a free book at Amazon on the Kindle. We'll see.
Surprisingly sweet. Callie the Faerie was very likeable, and the magic was in the background but gave it a nice little ... faerie tale quality (see what I did there?). Nick's character started off good and then he switched into a good boy a little too convienently for me, but it's a romance, that's whats supposed to happen!
I would look for more by this author. It was cute.

A jaded manwhore gets what karma is coming to him. In the for of a fairy. Who is as he describes it a troublemaker. I really liked the plot. It was one I'd never read before. The writing was very good too. I have no complaints whatsoever about it. Would I have done a couple of things different yes. Just to see where the story would take me. Would I read this again? Yes. Would I reccomend? Yes.

This was another Kindle freebie that I enjoyed. It was a fun, fluffy read about a heartbreaker and a punished fairy who have to play matchmaker for 3 couples over the course of 2 months. It was a bit all over the place at times, but I really liked the core couple. It was a great way to spend a few hours and get lost in a happily ever after.

For anyone who loves myhtology and stories of the Greek pantheon come down to earth to interact with its inhabitants, this is a great book. Calliope has to get the male protagonist, Nick, to help her set up three couples or they both will become numb to love...forever. Cute book, with clever ideas.

This was suprisingly better than I thought it would be.
Modern romance with a touch of magic.
I like the fairy twist.
My favorite scene was when they were locked in a storage room and he boost her - the fairy up into the attic and she doesn't like the spiders. Thought that was odd that a fairy wouldn't appreciate a spiders role.
Quick read.

Super cute! I loved reading a funny, sexy, and yes I couldn't put it down. Nick is a sexy heartthrob and Callie a super sexy faerie! What an incredible duo! I give it a four star because it did bring all the emotions that a romance is suppose to give you. And a touch of that paranormal that I wished could be real! Daydreaming once again! Great book!

November 10, 2010Didn't think I'd enjoy a book about a drifter meeting a Fae who had to get him help her matchmake three couples in true love, but it was actually very well written and a quick read. Enjoyed the characters and even the obvious, predictable end was satisfying.

Nick is a total womanizer. Callie is a fairy who has broken the rules and must make amends. Working together, Nick and Callie must help 3 couples fall in love in 60 days or they will both lose the capacity to love forever.
Very silly, fun, and predictable.

Very predictable, but it was a cute little read that I just couldn't put down. I'm a sucker for a lighthearted paranormal romance! Recommended for those not looking for an epic tale of arch-enemies and whatnot. Really quick read.

A quick, fun and light read and like most of the other reviewers, it was a Kindle freebie! I found the story to be simple, interesting and enjoyable and would recommend it to a friend as 'transition' reading whether you read several books at once like I do or if you need a break in between books.

*3.5 stars* This was a quick, cute read. The story was sweet, about a fairy who needs a human to help her make 3 couples fall in love. The story wasn’t outstanding, but it was fun, and a nice distraction.
December 29, 2014
This was a great story to read. Poor Nick didn't stand a chance when Calliope appeared on the scene. I will admit to holding my breath near the end - even though I knew this story had to have a HEA ending. Highly recommended.
March 12, 2012
For me the book (and the story) was so-so. I would probably quit reading it half way through but... I was on the train to UMB and I was in this really crappy mood and so... i finished the book in one go. Nothing special but still nice.

Calli (fae) and Nick (man-whore) have a task to bring 3 couples together int true love. Task impossible when you don't believe but then when you do it's not the same.
Colgan writes a believable matchmaker with a reluctant partner.
