Description

Mothers. Meddling. Matchmaking. What could possibly go wrong?

Matchmakers Maggie Barnes and Rina Thorn are back “helping” two new couples navigate the journey to find love.

It’s a simple marriage of convenience. She needs a temporary husband. He needs the money she’s offering.

Christy Roban walked away from her brief marriage with a battered heart and damaged pride. The entanglement-free life she’s built suits her just fine, until she finds herself in need of a temporary husband.

A committed relationship is the last thing Aaron Thorn is looking for, but Christy makes an offer he can’t refuse. Besides, he’s a sucker for a damsel in distress.

What happens when the lines blur and their simple fake marriage of convenience starts to feel like the real thing?

* * *
He starts their relationship with a lie. Now he has to tell her the truth.

Disillusioned by his broken engagement, Phil Wentworth wants a woman to love him for the person he is, not the riches he has. He wants a future with Marissa, but when she finds out he lied, will she forgive him?

Marissa Stone didn’t expect falling in love would be so complicated. They are from two different worlds. What if their sizzling chemistry fades? What if she’s only a rebound romance? Can she trust him again and find her happily ever after?

Thank you NetGalley, Author Janis McCurry and Author Lynn Mapp, Mapp & mcCuryy LLC for giving me a free E Arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
5 stars
This book is the fourth installment in the Matchmakers Chronicles series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. While I have not read the previous books in this series, I was able to understand and become completely engrossed in this book. This book follows Matchmakers Maggie Barnes and Rina Thorn as they help people find their perfect match.
Christy Roban, is a wealthy heiress looking for a marriage of convenience in order to help the workers of her family's business keep their jobs. She is willing to pay in exchange for a two year marriage. One night she meets Aaron Thorn. While he is not looking for a serious relationship, he can not resist Christy's offer. Can a business marriage turn into a real marriage?
Phil Wentworth is, a wealthy heir to his family's company, broken-hearted after his fiancé broke off their engagement. He decides in his next relationship, he will hide who he is, in order to be accepted for himself and not for his money and connections. Marissa is everything Phil has been looking for in a life partner, but she does not know who he really is. Can a relationship that started out without the whole truth become the real? Does Phil actually have feelings for Marissa or is she the rebound?
These characters drew me in from the very beginning. I loved how much Maggie and Rina were careful and thorough in helping people make meaningful connections within their romantic relationships. Christy and Aaron were an adorable couple. I liked how both of them were going into the relationship with eyes wide open and were completely honest with the expectations. Their slow development of romantic feelings was such a slow burn and angst. I was glad to see how much they came to care and were not afraid to go after what they wanted.
Phil had a reason for withholding his identity from Marissa, but he should have trusted her to understand what he wanted from her from the very beginning. Marissa was a sweetheart. I loved how open and real she was with those in her life especially with Phil. Their relationship had great chemistry. Overall, I loved both couples and was glad for their HEA. I would recommend this book to those who love great romances found by helpful friends. I look forward to reading the other installments in this amazing series!

To be honest I picked this book because I liked the cover and the description sounded interesting. This is the 4th book in the Matchmakers Chronicles Series. I have not read the other 3, but it's okay this book was still good.
This story follows Maggie Barnes and Rina Thorn two matchmakers that help others find their perfect match.
Christy Roban is an heiress that wants a marriage of convenience so that the workers of her family business can keep their jobs. She meets Aaron Thorn, who is not looking for a relationship but who isn't crazy enough to say to Christy's offer.
We also have Phil Wentworth. Now Phil is heartbroken when his engagement is broken off by his fiance. He decides that next time he's not going to tell the girl who he is. So when he meets Marissa he does just that. Then when things really take off between them he begins to question if holding back who is really is was such a good idea.
I am really glad that I read this book. The relationship between Christy and Aaron is super cute. They went into it with their eyes completely open, it was great to see what happened in their relationship. With Phil and Marissa I don't want to give it away but let's just say I was mad at Phil.

I appreciate NetGalley, the publishers and the author for giving me the chance to read such a wonderful book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the authors for giving me a free E-ARC copy of this book to review. It was only after I had read 20% of this book that I found out that it was the forth instalment to the Matchmakers Chronicles, but is easily read as a standalone. This book made complete sense to me and was easy to follow even though I did not read and of the previous books in the series (I will be reading them now). Some character development/ background was missing with this being the final book in a series but it did not distract from the story, of which I was fully engrossed and engaged with.
This book follows Maggie and Rina who are fun likeable self proclaimed matchmakers, who go out of there way to find love for all. I thoroughly enjoyed the multiple perspectives throughout the book which allowed me to feel connected to all of the main characters (Christy, Aaron, Phil and Marissa). I was rooting for each relationship and in places was left wanting more.

Spring is a cute, light, fun read. Maggie and Rina are meddling matchmakers who are funny and likeable. The other main characters, Christy, Aaron, Phil, and Marissa, are all likeable too, and I wanted to root for each of them. The plot was fun and light, although the ending was a little predictable. I have not read the three preceding books in the series, and it wasn’t necessary to have read them in order to thoroughly enjoy this book. I am excited to read those books now, however. Thank you to the publisher, authors, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Entertaining tale of a variety of romances with or without the help of a matchmaker. While I did skip over the intimate details, the rest of the book was engaging and delightful. My first experience with this series. Thanks to the publisher/authors for providing a copy via NetGalley.
