MORE ABOUT THE BOOK
Bryn
I used to believe in what we do at Mayberry Matchmakers, but now? Love is just another four-letter word.
Too bad my grandmother hasn’t gotten the memo. When tech billionaire Rory Byrne approaches us, wanting to develop the matchmaking app my sister and I dreamed up (and Nana shot down), she jumps at the chance. My grandmother is nothing if not opportunistic.
Of course, there’s a catch. She’ll only do it if Rory lets us matchmake him the old-fashioned way.
He’s going to say no.
Please God, let him say no.
The last thing I want to do is matchmake an entitled rich jerk...especially one who looks like sin and talks a good game.

Rory
I’ve screwed up in love a few times, but I never screw up in business. Mayberry Matchmakers has the idea for something amazing, and I have the money and the experience to make it come to life.
I should deny Nana Mayberry’s condition. If I let them matchmake me, it’ll be all over the news, and making headlines has never interested me…especially not after the personal betrayal that nearly broke me. But I’m having trouble caring about what I should do, because Bryn Mayberry is smart, snarky, and not the slightest bit impressed with me.
Actually, this may be Mayberry Matchmakers’ easiest job yet.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
About Denise Grover Swank
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in the area until she was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy, living in five cities, four states and ten ho uses over the course of ten years before she moved back to her roots.
She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese which she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period. Her hobbies include witty Facebook comments (in own her mind) and dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.) Hidden talents include the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows her to perform many unspeakable tasks. She has six children and hasn’t lost her sanity. Or so she leads you to believe.

This is my first book by this author. It's supposed to be the first book in a series about a family who runs a matchmaking service with her grandmother (Nana) in an area called Highland Hills,
The first book stars Bryn who has a number of siblings:
- Holly is her twin who ran away from Highland Hills and moved to NYC. She convinces billionaire Rory to work on a new matchmaking app.
- Rowan is her brother
- Ivy is her sister and a romance author who lives in Charleston
- Willow is her sister and she is engaged to a famous author. The book this happens in is Matchmaking Mischief.
The billionaire in this story is Rory Bryne, who previously dated Tina from Fraudulently Ever After. We see Tina and her fiancee Zach in this story as they are friends with Bryn and live in the town of Highland Hills.
Rory who met Holly in NYC and convinced him to create a matchmaking app, comes to Bryn and Nana and wants to become parners with them. Nana agrees if he allows them to match him on 4 dates, Rory convinces Bryn to accompany him on dates and find the dates for him. And so starts their business relationship that turns to friendship and so much more.
This was hijinks type of story. The plotline was a bit over the top and Nana is definitely a character who is beyond over the top. Rory is a sweet and sexy billionaire and I really liked him for Bryn. Bryn is wise to Nana's craziness, and she is character that loves her family and town but has a love/hate thing with Nana. I think my favorite characters in this story was Cole, the bars owner and his nemesis Holly who is Bryn's twin and sister. I hope their story is next.
I enjoyed the plot and the characters and enjoyed the plot but I felt like I was missing a lot of information as I read this story. I loved meeting the new characters in this book and in the quirky town of Highland Hills and cannot wait for more books in the series. But I did find it distracting from the story, the fact that some characters had other books in other series by the authors and I hadn't read them or known that info before I read this story.
