The Jacobsens

Cameron O’Brien has met his match in Darci Sanders. For what the hero doesn’t know is that when you judge someone on appearances, they might not be what they appear. For Darci, although she’s slinging pellers in a greasy spoon diner, is actually an heiress with an eccentric grandfather who feels that all his grandchildren need to experience all aspects of the company–and this is Darci’s two weeks at the diner. Of course, her grandfather is also a matchmaker. Twist Pretty Woman and My Fair Lady with the fact that the girl knows what’s going on, and you’ve got a… Read more “A great summer read”

The dialogue is fast and witty, and Megan is the perfect match for Harry Sanders, the CEO’s grandson. As a reader, I was delighted to see Darci and Cameron O’Brien back for a few scenes as they help Harry and Megan along the stormy, but satisifying road to love. A keeper.

That is, until he learns that he will be mentoring Megan, a woman who has gone out of her way to make him look bad since her arrival in… Read more “Matchmaking and business – Very highly recommended”
