Lauren Holbrook feels as if God must be punishing her as the truck accident has left her favorite haunt Shawn’s Café without coffee beans and consequently her without her caffeine chocolate fix. At work at the Brandon Knox Photography Studio, Lauren believes she is doing God’s work by matchmaking (see MATCH) couples that she knows belong together. Her current pairing is her boss Brandon and the office receptionist Hannah.
However, in spite of helping love succeed, Lauren is taken aback when her late forties dad informs her he is going to a weekend singles’ retreat that makes her panic about a potential future stepmom; everyone knows that even single dads don’t date. Then there is the Ryan question; Lauren is not sure whether she wants more than just a friendship or sharing a mocha or two (make that a few thousand) with him.
The latest Lauren Holbrook matchmaking romance is a fun tale as this time Lauren has to deal with much more personal matters: how she feels about her father dating and how she feels about Ryan. The matchmaking of her boss and their receptionist is handled with Lauren’s usual aplomb (that fans of the previous tales will understand) as nothing goes right yet everything goes perfect. Although some of the key secondary characters behave oddly at times, readers will enjoy Lauren’s deep commitment to helping people find loving mates.
