Searching for Love in All the Wrong Places

Piper, a successful interpreter, possesses language skills in French, Portuguese and Spanish that have allowed her to travel and experience places that many others can only aspire to travel. But while her life might be filled with travel adventures. But her travels have not led to satisfying romantic encounters. And so, when her latest boyfriend is accidentally revealed as a married man by his teenaged daughter, Piper is horrified and humiliated to have been so snookered by an obvious cheater and oblivious to what now seem clear warning signs.

And in reflection, Piper realizes that she really has had no strong example of a happy, healthy romantic relationship—not one modeled by her own parents or her brothers and their temporary spouses. And even when her college roommate, Dana, took a chance with one of Piper’s brothers, becoming Piper’s sister-in-law for a few brief years, Piper again was unable to observe a long lasting happy, healthy marital relationship—until Dana divorced Piper’s brother, eventually happily connecting with her current husband. So, while her college roommate, Dana, became her temporary sister-in-law, and presented Piper with her beloved niece Meredith, Dana can also vouch for the inability of Piper’s family to form long-lasting loving relationships.

So, it wasn’t surprising that Piper, upon discovering that she had unwittingly become the “other woman—the homewrecker” to her current boyfriend, Jerry Lazarus, she is disgusted—disgusted with him for his deceit, but also for her role—even though uninformed and unintentional—in causing pain in for another woman and child.

And when Piper discovers that her now former boyfriend Jerry is a cheater, she offers to take her niece Meredith on a weekend water getaway—a trip she had originally planned on sharing with Jerry. And, maybe, the fates will guide her to a vacation hook up.

So, when she meets a water sport instructor at a resort—a school librarian during the academic year—Piper is thrilled, until she discovers that her vacation potential hookup is a gigolo for the summer. His summer job as a water sport instructor allows him to entertain all the single women who visit the resort. So again, her heart again takes a hit. She feels that she has no choice be to cut men from her life.

But, bff and former sister-in-law, Dana, and niece Meredith are determined that Piper will not become “loser in love”—she just needs to meet other men—men vetted by a well-established dating agency. So, the members of Piper’s “give love a chance” fan club, enroll her in a well-reputed dating agency, one that claims to use a careful selection process to connect dating candidates.

The one condition of the agency is that while contracting the agency to arrange carefully selected dates, she is not to date another man. And for Piper, perhaps not as excited as her family fan club, she is willing to try.

But what Piper doesn’t anticipate is that sometimes the planets align, and the right person is at the right place at the right moment—without pre-arranged, computer-generated matches. What Piper also doesn’t anticipate is encountering two men who enter her orbit and both are handsome, engaging and intriguing, the problem is how to choose.

Summer Cooper invites her readers to enter the world of matching vs naturally meeting and how to be true to one’s on heart and values while attempting to truly find that happily-ever-after person.

Piper, the girl in the book, learns that her 10 months boyfriend is, in fact, a happily married father. His own daughter comes to see her and delivers the truth, adding that she's going to the restaurant to meet her parents. What I would have done? I'd have followed the daughter and make a scandal in the restaurant, asking for the money I gave him for his stupid project. What Piper did? She sent him a text, which he of course didn't answer, and that was it.

Piper then have to go to an hotel where she'd booked a room for her and the ex. There, she meets a dude who ends up being an asshole. I mean, they were about to have sex, the hotel called to tell her that her niece had been injured and she has to rush to get to her. The guy doesn't follow, try to help or even ask how the niece is doing. She sees him litteraly 10 minutes later with another girl. What I would have done? At least let him see that I caught him and that, well, that's his loss. What Piper did? She just left without him even knowing he'd been caught.

Piper's friend find it's a good idea to pay for an online dating app for her, because her love life is that miserable. Piper feels humiliated. What I would have said? Thanks but no thanks, I'm not that desperate and I don't need your pity. What Piper did? She accepted the "gift" and went home feeling dejected about herself.

See where I'm going this is? Not only was the MC in need of a good shake, but a lot of the details were glossed over. I never felt like there was anything real going on between Piper and the love interest whose name I can't freaking remember. I also didn't see what was the point into having us "witness" those moments with her "exes" when she did nothing for herself or her dignity and then gloss over the details of her relationship with HIM or with anyone else for that matter. There was nothing to get you attached to any of the characters, not even the kids - which sounds a whole lot like a sin. On top of all that, the end fell flat. I'd never realized, before that, how much an epilogue could matter.

Fun and FAST-Paced – the PERFECT weekend novella!
Not quite a ROMCOM, but readers will laugh when reading Summer Cooper’s newest romantic novella “SOMEBODY TO LOVE.” They may shed a tear or two as well, because “SOMEBODY TO LOVE” is an emotional rollercoaster ride through Piper’s life. Our heroine has had one disastrous relationship after another, so she decides to swear off men for good. But after a fun weekend with her Auntie Piper, niece Meredith uses her own birthday money to sign Piper up for a dating service. What is Piper to do! She can’t disappoint Meredith, so she gives the service a try. However, once again, Piper is her own worst enemy . . . For this reader/reviewer, I have waited a long time to read Piper’s story, and as usual, Summer Cooper has inscribed an outstanding story! With smooth and easy prose, Cooper delivers a character centered standalone contemporary romance that all romance readers WILL LOVE! Piper is a wonderfully ditsy 20-something who would like to find the love of her life but recognizes that her ability to find Mr. Right has taken her through a series of losers. She now doubts that she even has the skills it takes to connect with the right kind of man. Therefore, the dating service seems a timely intervention that should allow Piper to get out of her own way. Then she meets Ty and things get complicated . . . If you are in the market for a light, but fun, romantic read this weekend, then Summer Cooper’s “SOMEBODY TO LOVE” is the one I will STRONGLY recommend. While I voluntarily read an ARC copy of “SOMEBODY TO LOVE,” and this is my honest review, “SOMEBODY TO LOVE” is one novella I am going to place in the FAVORITES collection on my Kindle! Purchase your copy today! Happy pages! 😉

Piper has sworn off love, since finding the last boyfriend to be leading a double life. She believes that something is wrong with her. Her parents and brother were both horrible with relationships, why not her too? She is so bad at relationships her 10-year-old niece uses her money to buy her a subscription to a dating service.

Ty is a serious guy. Yes, he looks sexy hot and is labeled as a womanizer, but that can't be further from the truth. He believes in love. When a chance encounter with a beautiful woman leads him down a road to love, he quickly realizes he must do all he can to protect her heart. But when a secret comes to light, he may just hurt the one person he is trying to protect.

True to Summer Cooper form, this book was phenomenal. She knows how to write a good romance full of fun and excitement. All of her characters are amazing. In this particular book we get to see characters from her last book Mr. Principle. I love when she incorporates her previous characters in her next books. It gives us an insight to how their happily ever after is going. Piper and Ty have an amazing and magnetic chemistry going on. I love the banter with these two. With every push Piper does, Tyler pulls her right back. He is determined to make her see the future he can see for them. But her pain from the past is hard for her to overcome, not allowing her to just live.

This book is a steady paced read with amazing and wonderful characters. The story line is unique and intriguing. This book will grab hold of your attention and hold it till the end. A page turner of fun. So if you love a good romance that will give you butterflies while still making you laugh, then this is the book for you.

Summer Cooper has published a realistically written romance for all of us junkies out there, like myself. With the expert way Somebody To Love is crafted, you feel like your within this superior storyline. Easy and lighthearted approach between these two main characters; Ty and Piper. Piper has had zero luck in the romance department and after her latest disaster, her friends and Niece aim to fix it, with the help of a dating consultation company. The series of events that transpires between the two main characters is beautiful as well as heartbreaking to read. Not to worry though, because Ms. Cooper delivers yet again. I encourage all of you, to follow along, as Ty and Piper fall in love, leaving you with a smile on your face and love in your heart. Incredible Read.

I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Somebody To Love in exchange for my honest opinion and voluntarily given opinion on this book and highly recommend reading it, as well as anything written by Ms. Cooper.

Piper has no luck with men. The night of her current boyfriend's opening she finds out she's the other women from his teenage daughter. So embarrassing! Next she takes her niece on vacation with her where she narrowly avoids being another notch the local hotties bedpost. Her niece a precocious pre-teen decides to buy her aunt Piper a membership to a dating service. One stipulation of the dating service is that you can't date anyone outside of the service but Piper has just met Danny at her niece's school party and even if slightly annoying he's hot and sweet helping out his nephew. Now she has the dates she's contractually obligated to go on with through the service and she also has Danny but what happens when her two worlds collide? And what could hot Danny be hiding?

I love “Somebody to Love”. It is incredibly entertaining with a well-written storyline and complex characters. Piper has been having a string of bad luck with her boyfriends being either married or cheating on her. She has given up on men when her niece enters her name on a dating site. She meets a variety of interesting men and one that she meets at her niece's school. Ty is everything Piper has always wanted in a man but can she learn to trust again? Summer has written a passionate, funny, sweet romance about two characters who are simply meant to be together. This book has it all and keeps you entertained until the end. Highly recommend.

This was a cute and sweet story. Piper has had lousy luck with men and just wants to find love. Her niece signs her up to a dating service so she can find love. When her niece needs help at a school party Piper meets Ty. They are both attracted to each other, but Piper is only supposed to date men that the dating service sets up. She still goes out with Ty and starts to feel like she has found the one. The chemistry between them is electric and they have a strong connection. When a secret comes to light, will this ruin their chance at love? This has a terrific storyline and the characters were perfect. Meredith was such a cute girl who wanted to help her aunt find love. This a sweet romantic story you don't want to miss.

This was a fast paced romance with a rom-com type feel.

Piper has had no luck with relationships. After she finds out her latest boyfriend has a wife and teenage daughter, Piper decides she's done with men and love. Her niece ends up signing her up for Infinity Connections, a dating agency. Before her first date with the agency, she meets Ty. He's gorgeous and has the look of a GQ model. Will Piper decide to give love another try or will Ty turn out like her past boyfriends? Ty is holding something back, but his feelings are real.

This was a really good and funny story with some serious steam. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that it could of had an epilogue to finish up the story. It didn't feel 100% finished to me.

A fun, well written read about Piper who has the worst luck at love. After she finds that the man she is dating is married with an 18 year old daughter, she decides to take her niece on the vacation she had planned to take him on. While they are there she meets another man who ends up with another woman after Piper has to take her niece to the urgent care. So Meredith who is her young niece asks for her parents help to sign Piper up at a dating site. Will she meet her match or just end up with the same guys she has been with all of these years? This is where Ty comes in... She meets him at Meredith's school but will something else blossom from there? You will have to read the book to find out what actually happens. Enjoy.

Somebody to Love

I don't get the 5 star ratings. The h Piper is unlikable, flaky, Moody and runs hit and cold. Surprised Ty didn't get emotional and physical whiplash with all throwback and forth. The angst was stupid and forced. Another over reaction on Pipers part. I did really like Ty. The story had potential, but was not told in an interesting way, was not funny or humorous. The writing was a little stilted. Also, the proofreading/editing was terrible. I don't found off for that, but it was bad. I can't imagine being an indie author. But commas in the middle of words, missing words, spaces in wrong place that split the word and added it to the front of next word, etc. It takes a lot for me to DNF a book, but I almost didn't finish this one.

Piper did not have good luck with men. She dated a guy for 6 months only to find out he was married when his 18 year old daughter tracked her down. She had planned a weekend at a resort so took her 10 year old niece instead. There she met a hunk and almost slept with him but her niece got hurt. After leaving Urgent Care, she sees him with another woman. That's it. She's done. However, that sweet niece talked her parents into buying her a dating service. She meets Ty, who doesn't tell her he was the president of said dating service. They are getting serious when she finds out and breaks up with him. But she finally lets him explain and hopefully they will have their HEA.

A wonderfully fun, well written steamy romance. I love that while this is book 2 in Cooper's Family Matchmaker series can easily be read as a standalone and gives me all the sweet AND the steamy chemistry I want in a romance. Cooper does an amazing job with our main characters Piper who's had one too many cheaters and gives online dating a try - where she finally meets Ty who again is amazing. Wonderful secondary characters and plenty of laughs to be had in this one read which was the cherry on top! Love a book that will have me swooning, hot n bothered and laughing all in the same read. Kudo's to Copper!

This book was awesome. Piper is beyond unlucky in the relationship department. She wants someone to share her life with, but she has dated loser after loser. So when the right man does come along she does nothing but sabotage that relationship. Ty knew from the beginning he wanted to get to know Piper, he just went a little unconventional in his attempt. This book was fascinating and entertaining because they both really like each other, but they struggle to get on the same page. I love the push and pull struggling between the two main characters. Great job Summer Cooper. Another fantastic experience.

There is Piper who has had issues with the men she dated. Always seemed to pick the wrong guy. Her neice trying to help her sets her up with a dating service then she meets Ty. They hit it off but she already signed the contract with the dating service and is not to date outside of who they send her during the contract. Will she date him anyway? Will she be able to trust anyone again and find someone to love. This is a sweet and sometimes funny story of finding your happily ever after and what you go through to get there. Enjoy!!
