The Marriage Project

The Matchmakers #4

by Day Leclaire

Madison didn't make a habit of talking intimately with total strangers, but being stuck in an elevator for several hours with the lights off, she found herself doing just that! By the time they were rescued, Maddy and Harry Jones knew all each other's secrets....Or did they? It dawned on Maddy that her birthday was approaching, and gorgeous Harry could be intended as the perfect gift from her matchmaking family! If so, was Harry aware of this husband assignment -- and should Maddy surrender, or resist?

About the author

I love family first and foremost, which is why writing family sagas and stories that involve family is so much fun. Maybe you can tell that from my books since they always feature the warmth and joy and ridiculousness that comes from having a close-knit family.

I also love animals and have taken in rescue dogs and cats and fostered dogs for the local animal shelter.

And of course, I love writing. All I need is a functioning brain (batteries not included), a pen, and paper, and I can write anywhere. Please don’t let a conversation with me lag because my imagination takes over and I. Am. Checked. Out!

USA Today bestselling author, Day Leclaire is the author of more than 60 novels and has received an impressive eleven nominations for the romance industry's most prestigious award, Romance Writers of America RITA© Award. Day lives in Charlotte, NC and spends her days obsessively writing while vaguely remembering to pay attention to her adorable husband, busy son and daughter-in-law, two tiny grandchildren, and two even tinier Teddy Bear dogs. Not to mention a whole lot of dust!

I had to force myself to finish this book. Heroine came across as weird, needy and stuffy when it came to her family. Kind of an insipid book.

Read a copy with a HP cover. New to me author. Vibe was slightly screwball. She, Madison, is a finance expert/troubleshooter for her kooky extended family (the Sunflowers). He, Harry, is an economics whiz and consultant. His father and her grandmother are getting romantically involved due to a book which is a distillation of the principles of falling in love. Madison has concerns. The opening section, where she and Harry are trapped in a lift in total darkness has some good sensual moments and dialogue. The premise is sort of interesting, certainly novel but a bit of a stretch in the execution. I finished it and would definitely try more by this writer because her H was pretty on the money.

The elevator scene in the beginning was almost 50 pages. Way too long.

And after the elevator scene, I don’t know what her problem was that she kept trying to push a nice, handsome, rich, sexy, intelligent, succesful man away.

DNF, so no rating.

I will admit that I was disappointed in this Day Leclaire book. The use of the "principles" for the chapter titles helped to hold the story together. It was just too convenient to have Harry's father Bartholomew fall for Madison Adams's grandmother, Sunny, be a couple along with Harry and Madison. It was too contrived, even for a Day Leclaire story line.

Lots of fun

The couple was nice. The families were just too much for me.
