"Four Year Old is Determined to Find Love For Her Dad in This Frothy Romance"

Fresh Fiction Review

Wish Upon a Matchmaker

Romance Series

Four-year-old Ginny is determined to find happiness for her dad in this light and frothy Harlequin Special Edition.

When the bottom fell out of the aeronautics and space industry, Stone Scarborough did what he did best, rolled with the new circumstances and dusted off his construction skills to start a business in home remodeling. It wasn't nearly as easy to overcome the death of his wife Eva. Almost two years later his world revolves around his daughter and his work, until he meets a woman who can fill part of the hole left by his loss.

After a long, hard slog Danni Everett is finally ready to breathe deep and perhaps believe in a bit of luck coming her way. Her cable cooking series has been signed for another season, the debts from her father's final illness have been paid off and it's time to put money into the fixer-upper house she bought when she moved to California from Georgia. When she meets the taciturn Stone, she fears he'll never be someone she is comfortable with but her optimistic nature has her keep on trying to break through his wall of monosyllabic answers.

Maizie Sommers and her matchmaking pals are back in this fifth book in the Matchmaking Mamas series. Marie Ferrarella brings her romantic touch to this tale of hearts healed from grief, enlivened with the precocious personality of a four-year-old who just wants her father to smile again. Ferrarella is one of the most prolific authors out there, with almost 250 books (so far) spanning more than two decades. She has the lovely skill of making her characters people her readers can relate to, set in stories that always leave us feeling better for having read them.

SUMMARY

Three-foot Matchmaker

Ginny Scarborough has picked out her new mommy— Danni Everett, the local celebrity chef who hired Ginny's widowed father, Stone, to renovate her house. And Danni couldn't deny the immediate zing she felt for the handsome, green-eyed contractor…even if they were brought together by a precocious four-year-old. So why was Stone holding back when everything between them felt so right?

Stone's heart had been, well, stone-cold for far too long…that is, until he met the beautiful and bubbly chef. Still, Danni was part of a world where Stone and his little girl didn't belong—better to move on than risk the pain of losing love again.

With two stubborn adults to contend with, could little Cupid still make her dreams of a family come true?
