The Matchmakers is Debbie Macomber's first book for Harlequin Books. If you have read her other stories, written later in her career you can see the growth, so that alone, especially if you are a fan of her writing makes this interesting. That also is probably why some would judge this not her best. The plot varies in that the lady, a widow, Dori Robertson is in love but the guy, Gavin doesn't want to be and only realizes at the end that he does indeed care for her. I'm really not giving anything away, because this is the basic plotline of these romances; boy meets girl, they fall in love, have a falling out and reunite for a happy ending. There is also the frequently used plotline of matchmakers putting the couple together, the children as the matchmakers. Don't think this is a criticism, the books and stories are addictive and you will develop a fondness for the characters and wish the book went on for more pages, so that's another plus - a likeable Macomber book

The Matchmakers is a good but not great romance book from the Harlequin Romance Book Publishing Company and it is just not one of their best and is not one of the author Debbie Macomber's best. It is about a woman named Dori Roberts who is either divorced or a widow and her son decides it is time for her to get a new husband and places an ad in the newspaper and Gavin Parker is a man who sees the ad and gets the wrong idea by thinking that Dori is a man hungry woman, etc and she thinks he is an arrogant jerk, etc.

A story of a boy who really wants a dad and be a real family. Does things to make his mom look attractive and get a man. She joins up with the one man that can not get married to anyone. They of course fall in love and well have to fing out for yourself... Its a fast read, heart-warming...

I enjoy all of Debbie Macomber's books. They're light reading, feel-good books. Ms. Macomber makes me want to visit the places in her books.

Love Debbie Macomber. Very good books. Suggest looking into her books if you like reading romance stories.

Great book by Debbie McComber (as always). And buying a used book was economical and great. I will do it again.

I have most of Ms Macomber's books and love them all. This one was really cute and a surprise.

I love Debbie Macomber's books. More so some than others. This one was one of her best in my estimation. I loved it!

I was very pleased with the promptness of the order and the condition of the book. Would order from this seller again.

This book came brand new and quick. It was a new release and I had it in my hands the same day I noticed it in the stores.
