11834262.gifIt's a good thing Juliana Chase takes such pleasure in playing matchmaker because there's nothing she wants more than to see her loved ones happy. Her latest pairing involves Dr. James Trevor, Earl of Stafford, and her friend Amanda. So why does the handsome physician insist on ignoring Juliana's good intentions and shaking up her sensible plans?

Since James lost his wife, he has buried himself in his work--until Juliana starts meddling with his heart. Instantly smitten with the determined beauty, he must now find a way to outwit Juliana at her own game--and convince her that the right match for her is under her very nose.

This book is yet another middle-of-the-road romance story. While there are no strong points that make this book stand out in a crowd, there are a few qualities that still made the story an enjoyable read.

Juliana's meddling tendencies are slightly amusing and add a touch of entertainment to the book and the sincerity of James' character is endearing.

I leave the choosing up to you....
