The Matchmakers

I enjoy all of Debbie Macomber's books. They're light reading, feel-good books. Ms. Macomber makes me want to visit the places in her books.

A story of a boy who really wants a dad and be a real family. Does things to make his mom look attractive and get a man. She joins up with the one man that can not get married to anyone. They of course fall in love and well have to fing out for yourself... Its a fast read, heart-warming...

The Matchmakers is Debbie Macomber's first book for Harlequin Books. If you have read her other stories, written later in her career you can see the growth, so that alone, especially if you are a fan of her writing makes this interesting. That also is probably why some would judge this not her best. The plot varies in that the lady, a widow, Dori Robertson is in love but the guy, Gavin doesn't want to be and only realizes at the end that he does indeed care for her. I'm really not giving anything away, because this is the basic plotline of these romances; boy meets girl, they fall in love, have a falling out and reunite for a happy ending. There is also the frequently used plotline of matchmakers putting the couple together, the children as the matchmakers. Don't think this a a criticism, the books and stories are addictive and you will develop a fondness for the characters and wish the book went on for more pages, so that's another plus - a likeable Macomber book

This book came brand new and quick. It was a new release and I had it in my hands the same day I noticed it in the stores.
