I'd give this book 3 1/2 starts.

Tired of his Most Eligible Bachelor title, millionaire CFO Matt Whittaker is looking to find a wife using a matchmaker whose "almost wedding" he attended years ago. Matt was best man at the wedding where his matchmaker was jilted. His matchmaker (aka Dr. Date) feels uncomfortable because Matt was there for her most humiliating moment, but she can't help feeling attracted to him. While she's trying to set him up with eligible women, he's trying to get her to date him! Along the way, Dr. Date also "coaches" Matt to make him more accessible to his dates. This makes for some very interesting and even funny times.

Captivated by the Tycoon is the last of four books by Anna Depalo featuring the Whittaker siblings - Quentin, Allison, Noah and Matt. The other books in order are 1. Having the Tycoon's Baby; 2. Under the Tycoon's Protection; 3. Tycoon Takes Revenge; and 4. Captivated by the Tycoon.

I thought the best of the series was Under the Tycoon's Protection.

Matt Whittaker the most eligable bachelor comes to Lauren's matchmaking to hire her to find him a wife. He agrees to her suggestions, following her advice what Lauren doesn't know is Matt wants to marry her. Lauren 's a little uneasy about being around Matt because he was going to be the best man in her wedding and he was there when she was jilted. This a very good and sweet story.

that's what the handsome, rich and powerful Matt Whittaker had on his mind. He's the most sought-after male in town, twice named the Bachelor of the Year, and he's tired of running. When he makes an appointment with Lauren Fletcher, beautiful owner of Ideal Match, she soon finds out that Mr. Whittaker is a hard man to please. And he isn't just any guy either; he was also a groomsman at her wedding that never took place four years ago, a wedding that didn't happen when the intended-to-be groom fled the scene, just before the wedding. Imagine the humiliation of having to return all those expensive wedding gifts, not to mention the cost of the wedding to which Lauren had agreed to pay half. Fortunately, her fiancé didn't ask for the engagement ring back and Lauren hocked the darn thing to start her business, which was doing quite well, by the way. Eventually though, she gets the message that she's the one Matt Whittaker really wants, long after the match-making ordeal is over. Yep, another happy ending. Anna DePalo writes a great romance book. I recommend it.
