Hiring a matchmaker was absolutely the last thing Alison
Carter would imagine sinking to in her devastating search
for love and family. She thought she was realistic when she
acknowledged that her future would probably not be filled
with a hot passionate relationship but surely there was
someone out there for her. She had dreams. Her worst fears
were to be alone -- so trying her luck with a matchmaker was
a hope-filled gesture -- one she hoped would finally result
with her as part of a couple with a future and that family
she so dearly wished for. After all how much worse could
she do? Her recent dates were nightmares and were wrecking
havoc on her already shaky confidence.
Brandon Scott sort
of inherited by default his title of matchmaker from his
grandmother. In need of an infusion of cash he figured he
could do some matchmaking until he accumulated enough money
to let him actually continue his real estate career. He was
basically a good guy who would follow his late
grandmother's lead even using her files to help some people
find the partner of their dreams. How difficult could that
be? So Alison wound up as his first client. Brandon
certainly knew how to sell and with his amazing looks
Alison decided to fore-go her usual reluctance and go for
it. But as date after arranged date made Alison even more
disappointed and angry she kept on returning to Brandon.
Was she just a glutton for punishment or was there a reason
that all roads led right back to him? Brandon was concerned
that Alison was developing feelings for him when his time
in Plano was limited and no way was he looking to settle
down. He couldn't deny there was something so special
about Alison -- any man would be lucky to have her in his
life. But he couldn't see these men in her future. If he
was honest with himself he would have to admit there was
only one man he could see in her future -- himself -- even if
he didn't even come close to the qualifications on Alison's
wish list. Love has a way of creeping into your heart and
once there it's hard to ignore. Plans are make to be
broken -- where dreams are what futures are made of. Brandon
may have to compromise his plans to make Alison's dreams
come true. Score one for love.
Lovely tale about the angst filled feelings of single
people who are unwilling to give up the search for the
happy ending. Love is in the eye of the beholder and this
story has you looking into the souls of these dream
seekers. The happy ever after formula works in this Jane Graves
book.
HE'S THE MAN OF HER DREAMS . . . In a world full of frogs,
Alison Carter is determined to find her prince. Maybe her
dating past is more Titanic than Love Boat, but she's seen
enough happy marriages to know that true love is possible.
No matter what, she won't give up on happily-ever-after. If
she can't find Mr. Right, she'll simply hire someone who
can. SHE JUST DOESN'T KNOW IT YET When Brandon Scott
inherits a successful matchmaking business, he thinks his
prayers have been answered. Set up a few lonely ladies,
collect the fee, how hard can it be? No one needs to know
he's not really a professional matchmaker-especially not his
first client, the beautiful, spirited Alison. Soon he's
falling for her-and her dreams of kids and carpools. But
Alison is getting close to figuring out his secret, and if
she learns he's deceived her too, she'll walk right out the
door, taking Brandon's heart with her.
