Match Me If You Can

By: Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Narrated by: Anna Fields

You met quarterback Kevin Tucker in This Heart of Mine. Now get ready to meet his shark of an agent, Heath Champion, and Annabelle Granger, the girl least likely to succeed.

Annabelle's endured dead-end jobs, a broken engagement . . . even her hair's a mess! But that's going to change now that she's taken over her late grandmother's matchmaking business. All Annabelle has to do is land the Windy City's hottest bachelor as her client, and she'll be the most sought-after matchmaker in town.

Why does the wealthy, driven, and gorgeous sports agent Heath Champion need a matchmaker, especially a red-haired screw-up like Annabelle Granger? True, she's entertaining, and she does have a certain quirky appeal. But Heath is searching for the ultimate symbol of success -- the perfect wife. And to make an extraordinary match, he needs an extraordinary matchmaker, right?

Soon everyone in Chicago has a stake in the outcome, and a very big question: When the determined matchmaker promised she'd do anything to keep her star client happy . . . did she mean anything? If Annabelle isn't careful, she just might find herself going heart-to-heart with the toughest negotiator in town.

Guilty Pleasure

I don't know what prompted me to download this audiobook and start listening to it. Maybe I was in a funk and wanted something light to cheer me up? Or maybe it was recommended on one of Audible's editors' lists? It's not the kind of book I go for. It's fluffy and sweet - a predictable romantic comedy with a slightly annoying protagonist and a leading man whose name is "Heath Champion". Heath Champion. Seriously?! But despite all of this, and despite a female narrator who over reaches trying to capture the bravado of some of the male characters in the story, I really enjoyed the book. Once I was in, I was hooked. It was a great listen - that perfect romantic comedy that leaves you feeling cheered up and satisfied.

GREAT MATCH

I loved the combination of SEP and the narrator, Anna Fields. In a romance novel, you know what the ending is going to be; it's up to the writer to give you a good journey to that end, and SEP provides a good journey. I was left wanting to know what happens next with Annabel and Heath; and Portia and her guy (Cobie?). Ms. Fields did a great job of giving voice to the characters. During the parts when she was describing action and wasn't doing a voice, I often thought I might be listening to Ellen Degeneres. It is tricky for a female to do male voices, and vice versa, but she carried it off quite well.

Match Me if You Can

This was a very well written at times very funny audiobook! I like a longer book that I don’t want to hurry through the dead parts and this didn’t fail. Buy it you’ll love it!

Fun story!

Great characters and a great performance. Maybe predictable. But still so much fun with such colorful characters!

Lovely

This is the first book I have read in the Chicago Stars series. I didn’t realize it was part of a series until I looked up more books by the author. It was great all by itself. I loved the characters and dialogue. Overall, this was heartwarming and just what I needed in my life right now.
