Publisher's summary

Love wasn’t supposed to be a part of the deal… Even a famed matchmaker like Nolan Madaris’s great-grandmother can’t get it right every time. Nolan, the notorious fun-loving ladies’ man, could never connect with someone as straitlaced as tech whiz Ivy Chapman. Yet the scheme Ivy proposes is tempting - they can pretend to be a couple, just long enough to satisfy their families. But someone forgot to clue in their hearts.

What happens, though, when Ivy’s plan to get her relatives off her back has an unexpected side effect: getting her into Nolan’s bed? Houston’s number one womanizer may have found the only one who can truly satisfy him, body and soul. But with a man from Ivy’s past determined to be part of her future, both she and Nolan will have to decide what’s fake, what’s real and what’s worth fighting for…

A good story

Somewhat predictable, but an enjoyable read. Everyone should have a matchmaker like Laverne in their family.

Madaris series

I had the opportunity to listen to all the audio books in the series back-to-back and I am missing them already since I just finished the last one. 🥰 Great stories and I was right there each encounter all the way!

Reader is horrible!!!

Good book. No good reader. I love The Madaris family series and this is the first book that I disliked because of the reader. He was absolutely terrible.

Best Laid Plans

This book was similar to all of the other Brenda Jackson books. I’ve listened to many of them and have enjoyed them. The narrator, Pete Ohms, has narrated several other Brenda Jackson books. I’m not sure what happened with this one but I have to say the narration this time was just horrible. At least for me it was. It was almost comical at times or just over done. It was hard to get through the book because he just sounded ridiculous. ☹️

Narration

The narrator of this book is horrible, I can hardly listen. I love Brenda Jackson’s books; please do NOT allow this person to narrate another book!

Thank You in Advance

Needs to reissued with a new narrator

Pete Ohms voice is so boring. Books is great. Moma Laverne at it again with her matchmaking skills.
