De: Cathe Swanson

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She’s looking for a "Plus One" for her parents' anniversary party. He’s looking for “Happily Ever After.” When a matchmaking agency pairs them up, is it a computer error or a match made in heaven?

Eleanor Nielson always wanted to follow in her distinguished parents’ footsteps, becoming a teacher and living a life of selfless community service – until she tried it. Now, she’s run away to find herself and decide what she wants to do with the rest of her life, but she can’t skip her parents’ anniversary party, and she needs a date. Can a matchmaking agency find her a fake boyfriend who will impress her parents?

Mechanical engineer David Reid has his life all planned out, and he’s ready for the next phase: a loving wife who will share his faith and work at his side when he becomes a pastor. But a good woman is hard to find, so like any good engineer, David turns the project over to experts: an online matchmaking agency. The pretty, blond teacher with denim blue eyes seems like a match made in heaven. Or is she too good to be true?

I Liked the End

It was very hard to get into this book. I don’t know if it’s because of the virtual voice, but it was very hard to know who was talking it was confusing which characters were which. I wasn’t sure who was who I mean. The point of view seemed to switch around too, which was also confusing. But I stuck through to the end. I think I got the main characters sorted out, but it was about 1/3 through before they were cemented. It was confusing. I did like the HEA and it had a solid Christian message, (no strange cults). Lol.

This is a clean, uplifting read

This novella is one those who enjoy a clean read will probably appreciate. This story addresses mating services, Christian goals, differences, commonalities, family expectations, and pursuing one’s own interests.
The virtual voice did a great job with voice fluctuating and putting emphasis in the right places.
The author presents a well writtene story that many young adults will relate to. The only negative I offer is that the ending was quite abrupt and interrupted the flow of the story. I feel it would be more complete if the last scene had a little more substance to it .
