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 —
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 — 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!

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 service—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. . . .
