Melissa
Morgan, a kindergarten teacher, has come to be on vacation
with her sister, Jane. Once she arrives, not only does she
find that her sister has left but she also finds out that she
is expected to take Jane’s place. Jane is sure that Melissa
will have not problem as they are identical twins, but then
Jane's business is match making and Melissa doesn’t believe in
love anymore.
Matthew
Campbell is a federal officer who has been assigned to
investigate the matchmaking firm undercover. His cover – that
of a geeky, unsure and old fashion undertaker. Not every
woman’s dream date and Matthew is very good at his job. His
entire focus is for Jane (Melissa) to offer to help him
herself.
Matthew
and Melissa are attracted to each other and that has no part
of either of their plans. Melissa just wants to get through
the two weeks she promised her sister without messing up her
business. Matthew knows that he can never have a relationship
with a suspect. After meeting Melissa, Matthew cannot match
her personality with that of his suspect and begins to wonder
if he has the right person. Melissa starts to find odd things
happening and she begins to wonder exactly what is going on at
her sister’s firm. Matthew has become Melissa’s touchstone and
she is falling for the geeky undertaker. When he is part of
the final take down and Melissa discovers that Matthew is not
really who he says he is will Matthew have lose the
relationship he has come to long for?
Mortified Matchmaker has crime, humor, suspense, and
romance, what a great combination. Melissa has been getting
her sister out of trouble her entire life so when she arrives
and finds out that her sister has taken off, she once again
covers for Jane. Matthew is tired and has just come off an
intense undercover case hoping for a vacation; however he is
instead immediately brought onto a new case. I laughed,
giggled and sighed as Melissa tried to help Matthew learn how
to date and attract a woman. Admittedly there were several
times I wanted Melissa to crack a bit and tell her sister to
grow up, but that just shows how well Ms. Fleming brought her
characters to life. Right up until the last couple of pages I
was unsure if Matthew and Melissa would get their happy ever
after but I had faith. If I had not felt for Matthew before
then, his final actions would have pushed me over the top.
Mortified Matchmaker is one of the few books I have
read of Ms. Fleming’s but this has put her on the top of my
watch list and I am anticipating her next release. |
