This is one of my favorite kind of romance novels - swoony with some depth and solid writing. Some sentences were poetic but the book never crossed over to purple. Andie designs and makes her own wedding dresses. She and Kit dated in college, but broke up when he disappeared (because of grief from the death of his father). They both sign up for a dating show and are chosen by matchmakers to get married, sight unseen. Kit’s a fixer and Andie wants to maintain her independence. Andie wants Kit to stay but Kit’s architecture job involves traveling all over the world. It’s a lot of back-and-forth, and misunderstanding of feelings, but light enough to wade through without becoming too heavy. Well-written spice. I would happily read another book by this author. (8)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
