How does one deal with an annulment and a soon-to-be-revealed secret? What if you have to be married by midnight on Shrove Tuesday and you have no idea how to make it happen? Can you trust that a well-known matchmaker will work his magic again? This is the predicament of two people who desperately need Bellamy McKenna's matchmaking skills!
I always enjoy Jody Hedlund's stories, but this book has just become my favorite! The two main characters are individually charismatic but together, they become an extraordinary super-couple! Enya Shanahan is beautiful inside and out, and Sullivan O'Brien is strong, brave, and willing to put the needs of other people ahead of his own. How many gentlemen were willing to risk their health and wealth to help slaves escape to freedom in 1849? How many husbands would put the needs of their 'marriage of convenience brides' before their own?
Hedlund gives readers a mesmerizing tale of danger, adventure, and romance. A raging fire and the threat of a cholera epidemic add to the action, but the real drama is in the relationship between Enya and Sullivan. I loved their deepening respect and concern for each other, and I swooned at their increasing physical attraction. The romance is clean, but oh, so sizzling and there's also a reminder that joy and peace can come from unknown people and unexpected circumstances. I recommend Saved by the Matchmaker to all who enjoy historical Christian romance.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.
