A Meddlesome Match

The Vaughns, Book 3

By: M.A. Nichols

Narrated by: Madeleine Brolly

Two mothers. Two suitors. And one woman caught in the middle.

Sadie Vaughn has long admired Howard Gibson, but after his fiancée jilts him at the altar, she refuses to be his consolation prize. But his mother has other ideas. Convinced that Sadie is the perfect wife for her son, she’s determined to push them together by any means necessary—whether they like it or not.

Howard may be a fool, but Walter Reed is not. Sadie is and always will be his first choice, but his debilitating shyness makes him seem more dour grump than lovesick beau, dooming their courtship before it even starts. And his mother is done waiting.

Soon, Sadie finds herself at the center of a tug-of-war between two mothers determined to secure her for their sons. As meddling turns to mayhem, misunderstandings abound, and she begins to wonder—do either of these men truly love her? Or are they simply dancing to their mothers’ tune?

Will Howard come to his senses? Will Walter find the courage to speak up? And will Sadie escape this battle with her heart and dignity intact?

Enjoyable novel

I love her novels, a very good storyteller, the narrator is excellent and without giving too information the mothers are so funny (busybodies) in their children lives
