I received an eARC of this book via I Am a Reader in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this series, Power of the Matchmaker? Because I do! And I’m not just saying that either. Each book is written by a different author with one main character in common, Miss Pearl. Miss Pearl is the Matchmaker, the glue of the books and I love how each author has added to her character and molded her into the meddling lady we the readers know.

In Chasing Fireflies by Taylor Dean, the 7th installment of the series, Miss Pearl tells an 11 year old Savannah three things, two have come true, the third has not yet. Savannah is still looking for her one true love Paul. That’s all she knows is his name. She’s spent her life revolved around that name, dating only men named Paul and now she’s taken a job teaching English in China because she learned there’s an American entrepreneur named Paul there. How crazy (and dedicated) is that?!

I loved (and ached) for Savannah! She’s dedicated to what Pearl told her. She doesn’t doubt, and she has reason to. Her heart has been broken and trampled on by other Pauls. Her family thinks she nuts and worries about her. I would too! But I know Miss Pearl from other books.

This is such a sweet story. I loved the foreshadowing the author leaves for us to pick up as we read and loved the way Savannah finally finds her Paul. It’s sweet, clean of foul language, and the romance fades to black. My kind of book! Can’t wait to see what Miss Pearl gets up to next!
