I've been a fan of T.C. Blue since the first book of her's that I read. Her latest is a well written and highly entertaining set of three interconnected stories.
The first story, Make Me A Match , is about friends and ex-lovers Trevor Hart and AJ Robins. Trevor is the owner of a very successful matchmaking service called Matchmen, LTD and while he's great at getting others together he's had no success finding himself a match.
AJ Robins is a businessman with a long list of ex-lovers and a reputation as a love 'em and leave 'em guy although lately he's begun to realize that he needs more out of life to be happy. AJ's looking to find a special someone to have a meaningful and long term relationship with and turns to his friend Trevor for help.
This is a nice story of former lovers turned friends discovering that sometimes the second time around is the best. AJ is a total playboy and I liked seeing him grow from that to a man who is ready to acknowledge to himself that what he's been searching for was always there for him. The pace of this story was slow but worked for Trevor and AJ's storyline.
The second part of the book, Little Match Girl , is a wonderful story featuring, Melody, Trevor's cross-dressing assistant at Matchmen. Melly is beautiful, smart and has attitude to spare. She also has a penchant for changing her hair color but when she arrives home to her lover Jacks, Melly reverts to Mel, a sexy gay man totally in love with his partner of five years.
Melly's recently been promoted to Matchmaker and one of her clients is Parker Adrian, a country music superstar and one of AJ's ex-lovers. Parker wants the same kind of love and happiness that AJ has found with Trevor but soon finds himself interested in Melly and Jacks. Lucky for him the couple share his attraction and Parker finally finds the happiness and commitment he was looking for even if to his surprise it's with not one man but two.
The final story is Mix and Match which features another of AJ's ex-lovers. This time it's paralegal Adam Richmond who also happens to be the older brother of Billy, Matchmen's newest employee.
When Adam finds himself without a job Melody gets him a job as PA to businessman Jeffrey Trace Franklin. Trace has a reputation as a very difficult man to work for but after an awkward first meeting Adam finds himself happily living on Trace's yacht and enjoying his new job. An added perk is spending time with his handsome new boss.
I liked this final story. Adam and Trace, even with his gruff exterior, are likable characters and I enjoyed reading about their developing relationship. There was also a bit of humor in this story when Adam has to deal with his younger brother Billy and his unexpected interest, for a supposedly straight guy, for gay porn.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. Great writing and sexy fun characters together with an interesting storyline make for a really nice read. My favorite of the three stories was Make Me A Match . I really liked Parker, Mel and Jacks, individually and together. Another winner from TC Blue.

Good m/m romance about the employees of gay matchmaking agency, Matchmen, Ltd. The book is split into three parts, each of which follows a specific employee. Hmm. I guess, since one section in this book turned out to be multiple partner, it fulfills the m/m rut challenge, too, because I kept reading and didn’t skip it, as I am wont to do in such situations. (Damn, Kris says no. Hmph.)

Value for money here. Hence the extra star. On their own they would each be 4 stars, but 3 good stories of decent length so that you the reader feel less of a voyeur than is sometimes the case, there is enough length to get some character and plot development and it helps that they are linked.
