Matchmaker (Irresistible Bachelors #6)

I loved this book! Lauren Landish has an incredible writing style that has well developed characters, realistic situations, humor, chemistry between characters, and unexpected twists. When this book started, it has a Bachelorette vibe, but as it progressed it was so much more. I loved how the narrators displayed their emotions and had chemistry. I had read this book before I listened to it, and loved the story, the audiobook is even better. Lance Greenfield and Carly Robins added much to my enjoyment. I highly recommend this book. I will definitely listen to more books by this talented author and narrators.

A new take on reality TV, Lauren Landish has created a love story like no other. Emily auditioned for this show not knowing what she was getting herself into. 30 bachelors, and in the end, she will hopefully be left with the one that is the perfect match! Hayden, a former baseball player with a career ending injury is looking to extend his career with his stint on this show. What he wasn\’t expecting was to fall for the girl. Landish has again written a story immersing you into the lives of the characters. She has a way of writing making you feel like these are your friends, and you are right in the experience with them! This reality TV series is just as we all expect. Yes, we love to see all the fights and dates, but the behind the scenes is where it\’s at. Finding the place where there is no cameras, getting to know the men and their motives, choosing who we friend and who is there for their own gain. It\’s both aggravating and fun as I listened, hoping things would turn out as I wanted. Hayden is truly a man of character, and as the story progresses and eliminations are made, we get to see his reactions to the cuts. Having the male perspective is enlightening. Emily is in the toughest spot I think. 30 men to try to get to know, 5 minutes here and there is almost impossible to determine a connection. But with the two of them, it\’s there and impossible to ignore. But remember, it\’s reality TV, ratings are the important factor and the competition is high. Will the game play out as expected? Take some time to \”watch\” this season. It\’s complete entertainment with a lot of steam and a few surprises. Lance Greenfield is perfect as Hayden. His voice is warm and passionate, frustrated and loving. He gives Hayden and a few other contestants real personality, and you feel like you know them all. Carly Robins gives her all to Emily. I love her portrayal as I could see myself in Emily\’s position with the same inflections and emotions Carly uses. Their performance is wonderful.

Sometimes I didnt know what the heroine wanted to be. First she was a good girl, then shes doing everything a supposed good girl shouldnt. I actually loved how everything played out I just thought the side characters fell for every stereotype known to fiction(sassy gay and bipoc characters). The producers and major antagonist were the best part; you can tell this was written before Me Too became a thing as it had a lot of misogyny in it(forced kissing and advances being laughed off because its ok when a guy is attractive; SO MUCH SLUT SHAMING). Those three things took the most away from the story. Other than that I felt it was a decent story(though not extraordinary).

loved this one. Even though I wanted to tell and scream at parts. But Lauren Landish didn\’t disappoint!

There\’s a part in the story that brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard! a totally embarrassing moment.
