The Matchmaker: Sterling's Story

Beaufort Billionaires, Book 1

De: Elle Nicoll

Narrado por: Madison Mitts, Theodore Zephyr

He’s New York’s most eligible billionaire. And I’ve been hired to find him love.

I’ve built a thriving business doing what I love—connecting soulmates.

So, when a woman begs me to help her father, I’m on the first flight from London.

My track record is flawless.

Until I meet Sterling Beaufort. Suave. Charming. Devastatingly handsome.

The owner of the world’s most luxurious diamond empire.

But behind the silver fox’s billion-dollar smile is a complex man I’m determined to unravel.

The harder I push, the fiercer he resists.

Until I snap and demand to know why he’s sabotaging his chance at happiness. He doesn’t tell me… He shows me. God, does he show me.

But a twenty-year age gap, a family tragedy, and the fact he’s my client aren’t all I have to consider. There’s a reason I find love for other people and never for myself.

This time, the universe has it wrong. Because falling for Sterling Beaufort is the match that could burn everything.

Good

This books wasn't like most of them ...wherein you're telling the female NO don't do that, don't be so stupid and not head the warning of your man, just cause he's the man. It glowed nicely.

The Match Maker

My first 🎧book by this author…I love a good age gap love story and it started off well but it just got a bit boring. I enjoyed the British accent narration but after a while it was too much I had to speed up the narration to 1.5 & 1.7 and it still didn’t make a difference ugh. The ending was so lackluster and so disappointing.😑
Is it worth a credit? No thanks.

Not my cup of tea

First book with this author. The Story was okay, I don’t care for much of a huge age gap BUT it seemed to work for the to MCs. The FMC was pretty mature and the MMC wasn’t giving grandpa vibes lol
I did NOT care for the over use of “baby girl”… this had me cringing and rolling my eyes. It was cringey, at least for me.. I also didn’t care for the “energies” and “crystals/stones” aspect.. it’s not for me.
The Narration was a bit slow so I speed it up. The voices fit and worked for the characters

Don’t regret reading/listening but will not rush to read it again. ALSO forgot to mention.. the female voice kept over exaggerating on breaths during the intimate scenes.. like ALOT. It was weird and made it hard to enjoy
