Gladie Burger moved to California to help her grandmother
run the family matchmaking business. When Launda Laughing-
Eagle comes to town the trouble begins. Launda is claiming
to be a psychic and is trying to take all of grandma Zelda
and Gladie's clients away. Gladie will stop at nothing to
prove that Launda is a fraud in order to save the family
business. Soon Gladie is stumbling over a dead body in the
woods. She knows that she will have to solve this mystery as
well as exposing Launda as a fraud. As if that isn't enough
for her to handle, throw in three really hot guys all trying
to catch Gladie's eye.
This book is the third book in Elise Sax's Matchmaker
Series. I highly suggest that you read the first two
books before this one. It will give you a better
understanding of the relationship between Gladie and
Spencer. With that being said, I didn't really like this one
as much as the first two. Yes, you have romance, mystery,
and a crazy grandmother, but it just did not do it for me
this time. The plot is great and the character development
is spot on. I don't think that there is a single character
that I did not like. I just could not get hooked like I did
with the first two books in the series. I was about three-
fourths of the way through before I could really get into
the book.
If you love the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich
then you will like LOVE GAME by Elise Sax, as they are very
much alike. I normally love the humor that goes into this
series. I also think that there is a time and place for it,
and certain parts of the book did not need to be as funny as
they turned out to be. All in all, LOVE GAME is a good read
for a lazy Sunday.
Five months have passed since Gladie Burger came to Cannes,
California, to join her eccentric Grandma Zelda in the
family matchmaking business, and Gladie is quickly mastering
the rules of attraction. Her latest fix-up is still going
strong and Gladie’s bank account is back in the black—until
a rival matchmaker arrives in town and has both Gladie and
Zelda seeing red.
Not only is self-proclaimed psychic Luanda Laughing-Eagle
stealing Grandma Zelda’s clients, but Zelda is convinced
that Luanda’s ESP is total BS. She tasks Gladie with
exposing Luanda as a fraud, but Gladie’s attention is
diverted when murder comes a-calling. Spencer Bolton, the
gorgeous chief of police and Gladie’s on-again, off-again
flame, wants her to stay out of the investigation—and away
from the deliciously chiseled detective who also aims to win
Gladie’s heart. But the one thing Gladie’s learned is that
in business, love and murder . . . it’s always personal.
