Matchmaker
Dear Double Team
Blythe Orion: I lived my entire life online.
Twenty four-seven I had cameras and an entourage following me, recording me, growing my brand as one of the most successful models on Instagram.
I was tired though, I had millions in the bank, I was surrounded by adoring fans and I was called the most beautiful woman in the world.
But I didn’t have love. I felt like nobody really knew me.
A chance at an old fashioned matchmaking felt too good to be true, but I thought I’d give it a try.
What’s the worst that could happen? I’d have a cool Instagram story and something to blog about.
I never thought I’d lose my heart and find myself and what that would mean for my brand.
And I never could have imagined I’d get two for the price of one, but when I met Harrison and James Manchester, how could I possibly choose?
Why not have both?
Skip the chocolates, forget the roses. Who needs candlelight dinners when you can have these amazing Valentine’s Day romances set in a shared world?
Your favorite collaboration team is back, this time with match-maker stories that put the man in romance… our heroes are all alpha, all swoon-worthy, and all for YOU!
Happy hearts day, sweetie!

A Very Short Story
Since I absolutely love Ménage stories, I had to give this book (and the unknown author) a try. The story premise was interesting - an old fashioned match maker, that uses no technology, sets up couples based on interviews and questionnaires. Unfortunately we didn’t get to read about this process, as the author skipped to the introduction - by old fashion snail mail. The letters between the characters were very short and didn’t shed much light on their personalities or why they were perfect for each other. The female character, Blythe, is a social media influencer and came across as shallow, flighty and self absorbed (and why would a woman get falling down drunk on the first date!?!). The story is only told from her perspective so we really don’t get to know much about the men. The love affair seems to be solely based upon attraction and sexual chemistry - but that is certainly not enough to sustain a strong, long term relationship. As for the sex scene (yes there is only one), it is rushed and felt like a teenage boy wrote it (spunk? Really?!?). I am glad I borrowed this book from Kindle Unlimited - I would have been unhappy if I had paid for it. There are much better options for menage stories out there.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is a book in the Matchmaker series written by a variety of authors. In this book, Blythe is a instagram celebrity who we met before in another series. Blythe is lonely and tired of people using her money and wants to find love. When Blythe hears about What The Heart Wants Matchmaking agency, she signs up hoping to find love, but thinks if she doesn't, she would have an interesting story for her fans. Blythe writes letters back and forth with her match Double Team and learns he has an unusual situation. When Blythe is invited to New York to meet him at an exclusive party, she is excited. When Blythe meets Harrison, they have an instant connection and when the DJ takes a break, Blythe feels something is different about her date, but thinks it is the wine. James is intrigued with Blythe and when Harrison comes back, Blythe realizes it is twins she was supposed to meet. Harrison, James and Blythe get to know each other and consider having a triad relationship. I liked this book, i felt Harrison and James both wanted to be with Blythe and they all could love each other. Blythe embraced the men and loved them for themselves and didn't care what anyone thought. Good one.

Yay for Blythe!! We meet Blythe in the Resolution Pact Series as a supporting character. I'm so glad she got her own story & HEA. Blythe enlists the services of What the Heart Wants matchmaking service. Even though she's has lots of people around her she's lonely. Then along comes Harrison & James, handsome, professional men and by the way twins. They understand her & her life & want to add to it. Their relationship may not be conventional but if it works for them, then who cares.
The Matchmaker Series is a collaboration of short stories by different authors linked in the same world. Grab some coffee or wine if you prefer. Get comfy and prepare to be romanced into Valentine's just as these authors know how to do. Swooning!! I love, love, love these short stories of romance with just enough steam to keep it more interesting

Our heroine is looking for a bit of love, but gets more than she bargained for.
This is another story in the loosely connection Matchmaker series. Each story is written by a different author and feature different settings and couples (or triples!), but they share the same common starting point, in this case employing the help of the Matchmaker.
One of the things that I like about these story series is that they are all well written and presented. This story is no exception. We get a good solid plot with three well developed and unique characters. The connection between them is real and helps draw you into the story. Along the way we get a bit of steam, a bit of romance and a nice relaxing read with a solid HEA. Perfect for a nice evening read.
Highly recommended.

This was a quickie but I loved this story. I enjoyed meeting up with Blythe again from the New Year Resolution series.
Blythe wants something more in her life. She has the success from being an influencer but now she wants to find a connection with someone. She joins a matchmaker agency and starts exchanging letters with someone. They don't know each other's real name but that is fine since they are finding out about each other on a more personal level. When it comes time to meet him, she is surprised but pleased that there is not one but two guys for her. They take a chance and grow their connection until it is time to take it to the next level. Will they find their happy ever after?

This was not my jam at all!!!!! Heroine was soooo shallow!!
All she cared about was her social standing on instagram and how she wanted the number one social media influencer spot after she slipped from it, and how her romance with double team would be the key once she got to know them.
Also, she only really accepted double team bc of the hotness, that they were rich, that they were extravagant and that they came from the same social circles she was in.
No emotional or deep connection. Just shallow shallow shallow!
Her life consisted of selfies in the sun, partying, selfies, partying, selfies again all for her influencer page on Instagram. Lol
The heroine left a sour taste in my mouth.
If thats what being an influencer means, no thanks!!

Double Your Pleasure...
Dear Double Team (The Matchmaker Series) by author Olivia Hawthorne is a rousing short story of matching DJ Stars, twins Harrison and James with Media Star, Blythe. But, Blythe goes into the match not realizing it’s with twins until after the perfunctory three letter exchanges then flies off to NYC from LA to meet her man. Will she be thrown off? Has Grace the Matchmaker ever been wrong? There’s your answer :-)
Definitely recommending this book for your reading pleasure, if you don’t mind the double coupling. I am leaving this review for your consideration. Happy Valentines Day. Peace.

A well written short story with a nice storyline and plot. Sometimes I was a bit confused but in spite of that the story caught me from the first to last chapter. Likeable characters with a steamy chemistry. They are well described and develops through the story. It is very fast paced but it suits the story.
I like the twists and turns. I would have liked it to be in dual POV to give it more of their thoughts.
A sweet, sexy and fun read about how to get a personal life when you are famous on the internet. She was a bit to shallow in the beginning with all her material goods but that developed. A very fast paced but easy and entertaining read.

This was a good novella. Blythe is an Instagram sensation, but she’s slipped down and is no longer #1 in the ranks. She wants to get back up to #1. She is also wanting to find real love, so her bestie sets her up with a matchmaker. This matchmaker knows exactly what her clients need. She matches Blythe with the smoking hot, identical twin brothers, Harrison and James. Their attraction to each other was instantaneous and their chemistry is explosively hot. This may be a quick read, but it is a cute story of finding love through actual letters and not electronically. I loved the main characters as well as Blythe’s best friend. She was hilarious.

DNF: made it 26% and couldn’t keep going. Reading about a social media influencer with no substance and her entourage was nauseating. I couldn’t even get to the guys because I couldn’t stand the h. Also, if you use made up names for yourself and the guy you’re writing to is calling himself “double team” and letting you know he has unusual circumstances. It’s a pretty good bet to anyone with a brain cell that he’s into threesomes. So to dance with two guys at a party and pull away because you don’t want your followers to see you as a slut...there is nothing I’m going to like about this girl going forward. Cutting my loses quick on this one.

A great quick read. The chemistry between the characters is steamy. Blythe is a social media star and she is looking for love and just cant seem to find it. . So one of her friends recommends that she hires a matchmaking service. What does she have to lose. So when the team finds her the perfect person she is excited, but when they let her know that is two men called the Double Team she thinks why not. It will keep you reading till the end to see what happens.

Double team it is! I am so glad we got Blythe’s story and boy was it hot! That matchmaker Grace has magic. It was so cool that we also got a glimpse of Gavin and Chloe. Olivia really knows how to write a story and get you hooked.

Blythe is ready for love so she decides to give a matchmaking agency a try. To her surprise she gets two matches, twin brothers Harrison and James. This is a steamy story with characters that have intense chemistry. This is a great addition to The Matchmaker Series. I am loving all the novellas in this series and the covers are drool worthy.

Loved
Blythe has no idea that by signing up with a matchmaker, her life is about to change. When her match signs his name as Double Team, you would think that she'd get suspicious. It's not until she meets Harrison and James that she realizes her match are twins. This book was pretty steamy.

Fun story
I liked the plot and matchmaker angle. Blythe's life was very developed but once we got to the actual relationship part it was all very rushed. The actual development was basically skipped through. Maybe this wouldn't have felt as incomplete if we had the twins' POV too.
