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 Gladieβs bank account is back in the blackβuntil
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 Zeldaβs clients, but Zelda is convinced
that Luandaβs ESP is total BS. She tasks Gladie with
exposing Luanda as a fraud, but Gladieβs attention is
diverted when murder comes a-calling. Spencer Bolton, the
gorgeous chief of police and Gladieβs on-again, off-again
flame, wants her to stay out of the investigationβand away
from the deliciously chiseled detective who also aims to win
Gladieβs heart. But the one thing Gladieβs learned is that
in business, love and murder . . . itβs always personal.
