If you love watching reality shows, then you will love Catherine McKenzie's latest read ARRANGED. A captivating twist on contemporary match-making!

Anne Blythe finds herself thinking of giving up on finding love. She has a BFF who is fabulous, a contract for her new book. She has no problem in the men department for dating, but those men never stay around. She thinks she is cursed for she's named after the title character in Anne of Green Gables.

Could an arranged marriage be the answer?

After another bad break-up with a man more in love with himself than with her (she's realizing this is a pattern β€” falling for tall, dark, handsome and self-absorbed), Anne finds a business card imprinted with her namesake, Blythe & Company: Arrangements made. She assumes it's for a dating service and decides to hang on to it.

When her best friend announces her engagement, Anne feels envious and, on a whim, decides to make an appointment with Blythe & Company. But she's shocked to discover that it's not a dating service at all β€” it's a company that specializes in exclusive, and pricey, arranged marriages. Anne decides to put her reluctance aside after she learns of the company's 95 percent success rate. Anne thinks, why not get some professional help? Women around the world do it all the time.

Before she knows it, Anne is traveling to a Mexican resort where she meets and marries Jack. But will her arranged marriage work out?

Many readers will relate to this story, as it's funny, loving, romantic and has great characters. Catherine McKenzie's novels give readers much to think with its twists on pop culture phenomenons.

ARRANGED is a must read!

SUMMARY

Anne Blythe has a great life: a good job, close friends, and a potential book deal for her first novel. When it comes to finding someone to share her life with, however, she just can't seem to get it right. When her latest relationship implodes, and her best friend announces she's engaged, Anne impulsively calls what she thinks is a dating serviceβ€”only to discover that it's actually an exclusive, and pricey, arranged marriage service. Anne initially rejects the idea, but the more she learns about the service, the more she thinks: Why not? After all, arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world; maybe it could work for her. A few months later, Anne is traveling to a Mexican resort, where, over the course of a weekend, she meets and then marries Jack. And initially, everything seems to be working out. . . .
