4.5 Stars: "Beneath the Surface is a phenomenal start to the matchmaking talents of Angela Calminetti, EJ’s sister. McKeever shows that the bond between EJ and Tabitha will be long-lived and everlasting. And that the two are each others pretty match. Beneath the Surface is an outstanding book that is captivating. I definitely recommend this for readers." —Chantay, Euro Reviews
4.5 Blue Ribbons: "Beneath the Surface is a wonderful beginning. This couple has a fiery relationship both in and out of the bedroom and readers won’t be able to get through the pages fast enough. The love scenes are full of desire and fraught with sensuality. McKeever has penned a book that will have readers desperately seeking the next volumes in the series." —Angel, Romance Junkies
4.5 Roses: "Gracie C. McKeever has compiled one wonderfully enjoyable read full of rich, full characters. This story will make you laugh, shed a few tears and make you wish the next tale was available. The witty banter and complex characters make Beneath The Surface an engrossing read. McKeever has a new fan in this reviewer and I eagerly await her next tale." —Noemi, A Romance Review
4.5 Hearts: "This is really a feel-good love story with slight paranormal elements and with graphic language and spicy sex scenes. This reviewer became immediately engrossed with this tale and slurped it right up in one marathon session. Once again, Ms. McKeever has shown a deft touch with her prose and characterizations and produced a wonderful tale. This reviewer looks forward to the future installments in this series and will enjoy visiting the zany Vega family again and again!" —Leah, LoveRomancesandMore.com

5.0 out of 5 stars
5 Klovers! Courtesy of CK2S Kwips & Kritiques,
By Jennifer Ray (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Beneath the Surface: The Matchmaker, Book 1 (Paperback)
EJ Vega never stood a chance. Not that he wanted to, anyway, after meeting Tabitha Lyons. It doesn't take long for him to figure out that his matchmaking older sister Angela, who just happens to be psychic, has somehow finagled a plot to throw him in frequent intimate contact with the beautiful fashion consultant. But he isn't complaining about the match - the moment he lays eyes on her he realizes they are destined to be together. The trouble is going to be convincing the skittish Tabitha of that fact.
Tabitha Lyons is used to being alone, even comfortable with it now. After growing up in foster homes and a disastrous relationship, her life is better that way. All she needs is her work - until she meets the sexy author EJ Vega, that is. A few minutes with him and she knows he is trouble, bound to shake up her orderly world and leave her changed forever. Until this month, I had not read any of Gracie C. McKeever's work, but I quickly devoured both of her books I received for review this month. After reading the other book first, I immediately turned to The Matchmaker, Book 1: Beneath the Surface. As much as I loved the other story, I adored Beneath the Surface! I have to say, I wasn't sure quite what to expect after reading the blurb for this one, but it just knocked my socks off. The paranormal element is ever present, and a key part of the plot, but it never feels like a paranormal story. It feels very realistic, with the familiarity of a story that is strictly contemporary, lending the psychic talents wielded by EJ and his sister more credibility. EJ Vega is the perfect love interest for the withdrawn Tabitha. Simultaneously steady and patient while also powerful and dynamic, he is just what the doctor ordered to draw her out of her self-imposed social exile and into a passionate romance. The large Vega clan promises several entertaining sequels in this series, and I know there is already one released, which I will be working to get in my hot little hands just as soon as possible! Series Order: Beneath the Surface: The Matchmaker, Book 1 Terms of Surrender: The Matchmaker 2 Manifest Destiny [The Matchmaker 3] (Siren Publishing) Connected Story: Spells Cast in Shadows (This book is not part of The Matchmaker series, but contains crossover characters from 'Manifest Destiny'. While 'Manifest Destiny' can be easily comprehended and enjoyed without reading 'Spells Cast in Shadows', the story in 'Manifest Destiny' will be greatly enhanced by reading 'Spells Cast in Shadows' first.)

This review is from: Beneath the Surface: The Matchmaker, Book 1 (Paperback)
Eric James (EJ) Vega was an ad executive that left the hustle of his nine to five behind for a career as an author. He's excited and ready to exhale in doing what he loves best, writing. EJ has a publishing deal with Renegade and a book that is generating its fair share of buzz. With his impeding success, EJ's sister Evelyn somehow convinces him he needs a new wardrobe and fast. He is going to have to do book tours and he has to look his absolute best. So, Evelyn hooks EJ up with fashion stylist Tabitha Lyons.
Tabitha Lyons owns her own company Lyons Style, Inc and she is a successful fashion consultant who is at the top of her game. When she first meets Eric James Vega she knows the man is trouble with a capital T. He's too sexy and too cocky all of which serve to turn Tabitha on. Eric James has the power to effect Tabitha's libido like no other. As much as she tries to resist him and his charm, she finds herself more and more intrigued by the man. Even though the two of them seem like night and day they still make a great pairing. Beneath the Surface is book 1 in The Matchmaker series. The story is a phenomenal start to the matchmaking talents of Angela Calminetti, EJ's sister. Angela wants all her siblings and family happy and in love. She uses her telepathic abilities to make sure that this happens. EJ and Tabitha, they have to struggle to make it to happiness, the two are stubborn and try to best each other. But they are miserable without one another. EJ knows Tabitha is the one because she reminds him of his first love Sinclair. Sinclair committed suicide when EJ was much younger and he has never really trusted his heart to another woman. Tabitha is different, for the first time in years EJ wants to tell her the truth about his telepathic abilities. Tabitha has had a rough life and is not very trusting of anyone but Eric James seems like he is worthy of her trust. Gracie C. McKeever shows that the bond between EJ and Tabitha will be long-lived and everlasting. And that the two are each others pretty match. Beneath the Surface is an outstanding book that is captivating. I definitely recommend this for readers. Chantay W. Reviewer, for Euro Reviews We review in Flags!
