About this ebook

"A historical romance reader's delight. Treat yourself! Jody Hedlund does not disappoint."--ROBIN LEE HATCHER, award-winning author on Calling on the Matchmaker

As the middle child of the Shanahan family, Zaira does her best to keep the peace. She doesn't share her dream of becoming a published author with her family to spare herself their disapproval. When she's caught in a scandal involving the local matchmaker, Bellamy McKenna, she must put her storytelling ability to good use and feign a match with him to avoid wagging tongues and her parents' anger.

Feeling the growing pressure to marry as a well-known, yet single matchmaker to St. Louis's Irish community, Bellamy reluctantly agrees to a temporary match with Zaira. But even though the matchmakers in his family might be able to find love for others, they have a history of disastrous relationships for themselves. When secrets and danger force Zaira and Bellamy to work together, is it finally the matchmaker's turn to be lucky in love?

Hedlund delivers another captivating closed-door historical romance with sizzling chemistry, witty banter, a fake relationship, and close-knit Irish families where the matchmaker finally meets his match in this final installment in her series for fans of Mimi Matthews and Elizabeth Camden.

Marrying the Matchmaker was a fun romp through nineteenth-century St. Louis, where the matchmaker and his fake fiancé get into all sorts of scrapes and one troublesome situation after another, as they struggle with mistaken assumptions about both each other and their own selves. This story was a good happily-ever-after ending to the series, so be sure to get ahold of this one and enjoy!

The long-awaited love story of Bellamy, the matchmaker of the Shanahan Match series, has arrived! I have been eagerly awaiting Bellamy’s story since the the beginning of the series, and I was not disappointed! I knew when the matchmaker set his cap for a girl, the resulting romance would be swoony beyond belief. I was right! And Bellamy met his match (ha! See what I did there?!) in Zaira! This is a great read!

What happens when the matchmaker meets his match? All the love for Marrying the Matchmaker! Bellamy’s story is finally here, & I adored watching this cheeky matchmaker fall in love. Reluctant to fall, a fake relationship, childhood friends-to-lovers, witty banter, delicious tension, sizzling kisses, & a cozy Irish community made this the perfect ending to the series. Highly recommend!
