ABOUT THE BOOK
As the middle child of the Shanahan family, Zaira does her best to keep the peace. She doesn’t share her dream of becoming a published author with her family to spare herself their disapproval. When she’s caught in a scandal involving the local matchmaker, Bellamy McKenna, she must put her storytelling ability to good use and feign a match with him to avoid wagging tongues and her parents’ anger.
Feeling the growing pressure to marry as a well-known, yet single matchmaker to St. Louis’s Irish community, Bellamy reluctantly agrees to a temporary match with Zaira. But even though the matchmakers in his family might be able to find love for others, they have a history of disastrous relationships for themselves. When secrets and danger force Zaira and Bellamy to work together, is it finally the matchmaker’s turn to be lucky in love?
MY THOUGHTS
Marrying the Matchmaker is the fourth and final book in the A Shanahan Match series.
An Irish Matchmaking American Historical Romance Novel Set in 1800s St. Louis.
I’ve read and loved all of them. It would be hard to pick a favorite but if pushed to, I’d have to say it’d be this one.
Fake it til you make it or in this book a fake relationship becomes of so real with sizzling chemistry. Swoon worthy writing that’ll keep you reading!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
