His Personal Relationship Manager

Dating by Design, Book 1

De: Jennifer Peel

Narrado por: Nancy Peterson

After suffering a very public humiliation, Kenadie Marshall realizes that love shouldn't be left only to personal judgement. Instead of wallowing in her misery, Kenadie creates Binary Search, the perfect balance between a software application and human intuition to help others find true and lasting love, all while personally swearing off relationships for good.

Attractive and loveable Jason Hadley is taken with Kenadie from their first meeting. Determined to prove that love isn't over for her, he does everything he can think of, even if it means using her firm's service and dating other women to stay close to her. Jason quickly gains a rally of supporters, including Kenadie's over-enthusiastic mother and meddling best friend, but will his ploys help Kenadie find her match, or jeopardize everything she's created and lead to further humiliations? In an epic battle of wills, this romantic comedy shows that love is patient, love is kind, and love can heal even the most broken of hearts.

Great Characters Come Alive

What does Nancy Peterson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Nancy does a great job reading this book! My favorite character she does is Kenadie's mama, I love that sassy southern accent! She gives great personality to the characters and her inflections are fantastic. I have to admit that I wish she read just a touch faster, but that's because the story is so engaging I'm always dying to get to the end!

Any additional comments?

As with all of Jennifer Peel's books I think her characters are so fantastic. Kenadie has a tender heart that she's doing her best to protect. She strikes a tough balance between vulnerability and strength. Jason is so kind, the perfect gentleman, much to Kenadie's consternation. Zander, mercy, what a character. Sometimes you want to join Kenadie and smack that guy, or hug him for being the soft mushy center that his facade hides.

Sassy mothers, hilarious adventures, and all the feelings are packed into this book where Kenadie figures out whether opening her heart up again is worth the risk!

Great book

Loved it! Good clean romance! Cheering at the end of the book. I love happy endings, but you'll have to read it to see.

Great Story!

I loved the story of Kenadie and Jason but I did want to smack Kenadie upside the head a few times. Was she really that unaware? Kenadie was totally humiliated seven years earlier in front of everyone she knew at what was supposed to be her wedding, so she has completely immersed herself in her company (finding love matches for others) and doesn't date. Jason, a former college roommate of Kenadie's annoying best friend, Alexander (aka Zander) moves to town and is completely smitten with Kenadie. He decides to tear down the wall she has built around her heart and even uses her company's service and dates other women to stay close to her.
Kenadie's family, especially her mama, loves Jason and can see they're perfect for each other. Will Kenadie ever come to her senses and realize Jason has broken down her protective wall and she has feelings for him, and that he cares for her too?
This was my first audible book and I had to get used to the narration. I think Nancy Peterson did a great job as the narrator and being from the south I didn't think her southern accent was over the top. I didn't care for the voice she used for Zander, but I got used to it. I really got into this book and listened to it while cooking, checking email and even in the shower, finishing it in less than 4 days. I received this audible book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the book

But I didn't love the reader. Some of her voices really bugged me. Overall, I liked the story.

Good story

it took me a little bit to get through this one but overall a good story. I loved the narration but I'm not sure I liked Xander. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
