From the author of The Someday Jar comes
a witty and warm novel about a matchmaker who’s an expert at matters of the
heart—except when it comes to her own...
Matchmaker Bree Caxton has a 98% success rate, a book about to hit the stands, and an amazing boyfriend. Until, that is, he gets cold feet about their future and runs from their relationship.
Afraid no one will buy a book on love from a woman whose love life is a mess, Bree begs her one matchmaking failure, Nixon Voss, to pose as her boyfriend. But when they become a hit with readers, they must carry on their charade just a little longer. Fortunately, they’re both having fun...
But then Bree’s ex decides he wants her back and a newspaper presents a challenge that could expose the truth about her rocky love life. Now she must find the courage to embrace what is, or risk losing something much bigger than her reputation: her heart...

My Thoughts…
I always thought matchmaking was a thing of the
past. I mean I knew about the online
services but was always weary of them.
Enter Bree… I love her
confidence, her assurance that she has the right answer and the reasoning
behind her thoughts, and of course her wit.
She has a lot of answers and a lot of reasons for those answers. Allison Morgan did a great job in telling
the whys and what for’s of matchmaking.
Everything from body language, to social situations, to how to go out on
a date were covered. There were things
shared that I am I had never thought about but when I thought back on my dating
life I realized they were things I should have done, did do and shouldn’t have,
or clues that I should have paid attention to.
While reading
this book there were times that I felt the story was going slow. Maybe it was just me and how I like a book
to move along but at times I wanted Bree to just move on, keep telling her
lies, or really I wanted her to open her darn eyes and see what was in front of
her. There were many times I laughed
at the lies and where they led Bree, there were times that I shook my head
wondering how she came up with the lies, and there were times I was sure she
was in way over her head.
Can I See You
Again? is a fun, easy, and enjoyable read.
Most of the story moved at a good pace, the characters were fun and
usually believable (except when they were lying). I recommend picking up your own copy.
