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.

Narrators are some of the best ever! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Narrators are some of the best ever!! Great story and made even better with that deep, sexy voice of Theodore Zephyr ❤️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥LOVE a sexy age gap, hot , steamy romance!! Can't wait for the rest of the series!!

Amazing story

This book was wonderful didn’t think I would love it but I am going to be listening to this book again and again.

Perfect!

Theo and Madi really bring the story in perfection. All of the emotion, passion delivered perfectly! ❤️❤️

Enjoyed

Overall I really enjoyed the book. The plot was good, the dynamics between characters, including secondary characters left me looking forward to the next book in the series. While this story was fine as a standalone, there were a couple of things that could be expanded on in the next book.
Both narrators did a good job and brought their characters to life. I would have liked to see a little less breathlessness in the female narrator.
I don’t usually read books with this much of an age gap between the two main characters but this one works. I recommend it.

The grumpy,widowed silver fox & the matchmaker❤️

Theo made the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT Sterling Beaufort… HIS VOICE WAS DELICIOUS 🤤 Madi was an amazing Halliday 💕 she brought the sweet soul to life :)
distinguished , grumpy silver fox .. widower … billionaire patriarch of a successful jewelry business company …
Halliday Burton … young , relationship coach … she is tasked with finding a match for the widower by his daughter …

All of the dates she set up failed … why ?? Did they expect to have sparks flying between the both of them ?? Absolutely NOT … BUT that’s exactly what happened … he said NO MORE BLIND DATES ! I want YOU ! ;) the tension , angst and chemistry is electric !

His first marriage was more an obligation than anything else … she CHOSE HIM ! Her first choice was always HIM ❤️

The Matchmaker is INCREDIBLE

Well well well, The Matchmaker turned out to be a scorcher! 🔥 a stunning age gap/billionaire romance. 💛 The narrators, Madison Mitts and Theodore Zephyr bring so much life into the book! I'm obsessed, A+++ performance!

I don't think I can aptly put into words what this couple did for me! Halliday is everything. I love her intuitiveness and connection with auras and energy around her, not only to help others find love, but in general. She's stunning! And Sterling, silver fox king! He's a gentleman through and through, until they're in the bedroom. 😏

There's this immediate connection and chemistry for these characters and I'm just so impressed with the way Elle is able to translate that on the page! I could feel it leaping out at me from the very beginning! I can't get over how hot their intimacy is either. 🥵

The nuances of our main characters, the grief they've each experienced, and their histories all tie together in a way that made a jaw dropping story for me! And I mean.. he buys her a jet come on! How can you not love that? 🤌🏼💋

I'm so looking forward to what this new series brings and I'm so excited for the next book!

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.
