Thank you so much to Tandem Collective Amazon Publishing and Ilsa Madden-Mills for having me on this readalong. 
I loved this book! 

We follow Jane, a single mum who is pursuing her dream of running her own matchmaking business, and her family friend Jasper, a very well known American football player. 
The tension between them is palpable from the beginning. 

I really enjoyed this, I laughed, I felt sad, I felt frustrated in places, it really took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. 
There were topics in here that were very close to my life, and they were dealt with so sensitively and beautifully, and I love the resolve that was reached. 

The comedy elements in this were so good, I found myself laughing out loud on so many occasions, I really loved when all Jasper’s family were together and how he is treated by his 4 sisters. The epilogue was exactly what I wanted and I could have read so much more of them like that, it was just soul warming. 

I am so glad I picked this up as I think it’s the perfect little warming rom-com that I really needed, but it had enough depth to keep me invested. 

I know there are other books in this series and I will definitely be picking them up
