Kennedy Ashe is social director of Kinnections, a matchmaking
service. Growing up, she was always ridiculed because of being overweight. Even
though she believes there is someone for everyone, she does not trust anyone
near her heart.
After spending his thirty-second birthday alone, Nathan Dunkle
decides it is time for a love connection. In everybody eyes, he has always been
a nerd but wants to be married and have children in his life. He signs up with
Kinnections and does not quite make the cut. Nathan is an aerospace engineer
with no social skills, especially when it comes to women.
Kennedy discovers Nate’s brother, Connor, has taught him ‘the
ropes’ regarding women. Connor feels there are too many women and very little
time to conquer them all. Hence, Kennedy takes Nate under her wings and gives
him a complete makeover; head to toe, while teaching him how to communicate
with the opposite sex.
Now that Kennedy has completed her mission, she has to keep
her feelings about Nate purely business. At the same time, Nate is constantly
studying her every move to win her over. In addition, he has learned something
about Kennedy nobody else knows; Kennedy is a nerd just like him.
I liked this novel because the story line is refreshing. Sure,
it is a predictable romance novel, but the way these two characters meet,
Kennedy’s stubbornness and Nate’s nerdiness is just too cute. You will laugh
because it is humorous. You will sigh because of the nerdiness. You will feel
comforted because of the coming-of-age, so to speak, of Kennedy and Nate. I
believe the make out session with Kennedy and Nate should have been edited to a
few pages and not a whole chapter. However, I recommend this enjoyable fiction
novel to romance and late afternoon readers.
I received this book free from Gallery Books through the Net
Galley Reviewer Program for an honest and unbiased review.
