The first story is about Millie Hogan. She helps in her mom's cafe and is constantly breaking hearts. Her mother is constantly trying to set her up on blind dates even though she doesn't want to go. Her mom once again sets her up on a blind date with David. Millie reluctantly agrees to go if her mother will promise to stop the matchmaking. What ends up happening is Millie and David agree to having a pretend dating relationship in order to keep their family and friends from bothering them. This causes lots of complications and ends up bringing the past to the forefront. The characters definitely learn to trust, forgive and to let the past go.
The second story in this book centers around Violet. She is a lawyer in her father's firm until the day comes when her sister's boyfriend is made partner and they announce their engagement. She realizes that she isn't happy there and resigns to open her own bakery. In the meantime, she has to find a date for her sister's wedding. Jackson is looking for a date for his high school homecoming where he is being honored. They both sign up for a matchmaker and get matched with each other. The problem is that they already know each other from college and Violet wants nothing to do with him. She has to deal with the anger she has towards him as well as the resentment she has towards her sister.
I enjoyed both of these stories. They both are contemporary fiction which I enjoy almost as much as historical fiction.
I received this book for free from NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review for receiving this book.
This book is expected to be released on December 1, 2013.
