The matchmakers are at it again! Maureen O'Connor wants her
only grandson to find a wife. Of course, her real desire is
to have great-grandchildren before her closest friends have
them. Trina, Lindy, Sassy and Perty, along with Maureen,
made a pact to see their grandchildren married off. So far,
their grandchildren have all married each other, all except
Maureen's. There doesn't seem to be anyone left who is
Jamie's age.
Kirby McNeill recently retired after serving 30 years as a
pastor. His granddaughter, Flannery McNeill, has invited
him to Nashville for the weekend and to attend church with
her. As Flannery brings Kirby into the senior adult class,
Maureen notices her immediately and thinks she would be a
perfect match for Jamie. She's tall, slender and beautiful,
just his type. As they are introduced, she learns that
Flannery is Sassy's oldest granddaughter's best friend.
This could be perfect! Maureen is also quite taken with
Kirby and wants to know him better.
A short while later, Flannery and Jamie O'Connor find
themselves involved in the same wedding. She predetermines
that he is not her type. He's drop dead gorgeous and those
kind just don't work out for her. She thinks she needs
someone who is a nerd, geek or a dork for a better match.
Flannery is not very nice to Jamie at the wedding
reception, but he is not put off by her actions and makes a
fool of himself with his attempt to woo her.
As Kirby and Maureen get to know each other better, they
begin to make plans to get their grandchildren together.
The more Jamie and Flannery are around each other, the more
they see that the real match needing to be made is not the
two of them, but their grandparents. It's pretty clear they
are attracted to each other. As Jamie and Flannery meet and
conspire to get Kirby and Maureen together, will they find
any common ground for themselves? Will Kirby and Maureen be
successful with their matchmaking attempt for their
grandchildren?
Kaye Dacus pens another wonderful story in her
Matchmaker series with TURNABOUT'S FAIR PLAY. Her
characters are endearing and their escapades will have you
continuing to turn the pages to see where they lead. This
is a delightful story about friendships: those from the
past, the present and future hope for those friendships to
continue. It's also a story about changes in our lives and
opening our hearts to God's plan for us. I hope you enjoy
this inspirational romance as much as I did.
When Maureen O’Connor begins scheming to match her grandson Jamie with Flannery McNeill, the last thing she has in mind is a romance of her own. But when Jamie turns the tables and conspires with Flannery to bring Maureen and Flannery’s grandfather Kirby together, everyone’s best laid plans seem to go awry. Is Maureen willing to start a new relationship at this stage of her life? Will Jamie ever drop his veneer of self-sufficiency and succumb to true love?
