Sweet Contemporary Romance


Kayla Harding's divorce had left her in a difficult position. With very little income, she knew she could go to her family for help. But with her father going through radiation treatments, she just didn't want to bother or worry anyone. She had finally resolved to go to the local food pantry, but when she arrived, she was mistaken for a volunteer. Luckily, the owner had quickly, and ever so kindly, realized the error. Still, Kayla was more than willing to help. Everyone was baking bread, and she stepped up to the table only to see Sean Copeland, former high school star football player.

Sean was happy to run into Kayla and reconnect with her. They hit it off, and she was able to help him when he needed someone to watch his son. Widowed for a few years, Sean missed his wife, and regretted the fact that their son didn’t have his mother to watch him grow. He knew she would want the best for the both of them, and he was enjoying his time with Kayla. The more time they spent together, the more he shared his most personal feelings.

However, Kayla found it difficult to be truthful of her current circumstances.

Their Surprise Reunion is a sweet romance of two individuals overcoming their personal challenges to find a future together. I understood why Kayla was reticent to ask for help, but she did have a solid family that could have helped if she had only opened up about the true circumstances she was in. Unfortunately, as shown in the book, some people are unwilling to ask for help when they need it, due to their own, or others' prejudices. A Matchmaker Knows Best is a story of healing, second chances, the joy of helping others, and love. I look forward to the next story in the series.
