The Matchmakers of Minnow Bay

By: Kelly Harms

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve

Lily Stewart has reached a crossroads in her life. Her painting career hasn't taken off, her best friend has changed beyond recognition, and now she can't keep up with the rising cost of living in the city. With no one to turn to, Lily is forced to move from her apartment, but while packing she comes across a piece of mail that had slipped to the back of her junk drawer: a letter detailing further action needed to finalize the annulment of a quickie Vegas wedding. From 10 years ago!

Lily decides it's time to gather up the pieces of her life, and the first item on her list of things to fix is that annulment. This is something that must be addressed in person, so Lily decides to track down her husband - the charming, enigmatic man she connected with all those years ago.

Ben Hutchinson left a high-profile dot-com lifestyle behind to return home to the small lake town he loves, Minnow Bay. He's been living off the grid, and the last thing he expects is a wife he didn't know he had making her presence known.

By chance, Lily finds her way to Minnow Bay Inn. There she will discover not just a place to lay her head, but new friends, new inspiration, and maybe even a new chance to fall in love.

Didn’t want it to end

I loved this book, I wished it went more in depth in the end but I couldn’t stop listening.

Great!!

I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn’t too sure about the story line but soon fell in love with it! Get cute story!

Fun story

I save my audiobooks to listen to when I’m walking, I really enjoyed the story and the narrator was excellent!

I enjoyed this book

I enjoyed this book. I chose it as a lighter read to break from a more serious read I'd just finished. The story held my attention, and I felt invested in the main character enough to want to see where her life led as the story progressed. All of the characters were interesting, and they were so varied that it was like real life.
I liked it more than I expected, based on the summary.

The final few chapters felt rushed

I really loved this book up until the last 4 or 5 chapters, and even then I still really liked it. It just seems like maybe an overzealous editor decided to cut the end short and the result is an ending that feels...weird. I still really enjoyed it, though.
