THE MATCHMAKING GAME: A brand new historical romance novella from bestselling author Donna Hatch.

Rowena’s childhood friend, Evan, has returned home from war a handsome, but mysterious stranger. In an effort to bring happiness to her father, not to mention uncover the Evan she remembers from their youth, Rowena seeks to unite their parents. Who better to match a lonely widow and widower together than their adoring children? Her matchmaking game could help their parents find happiness and draw out her childhood friend buried beneath Evan’s new reserve … or it could break more than one heart.

My Review

I love sweet romance novellas because, since they keep my attention and are fast-paced, they can usually be read in one sitting. The Matchmaking Game was no exception. It is such a cute, funny book, and the romance did not feel at all rushed. Plus, this is one of my favorite time periods for historical romance!

Evan and Rowena have known each other since Rowena was born, and they’ve been best friends ever since that day. Evan put up with Rowena’s crazy schemes and protected her when she was scared or hurt. When he went off to war, Rowena wrote to him every day. When he returned home from war, something changed, though neither Evan nor Rowena would admit it. Their friendship turned to love.

Through some unlikely twists and turns, Rowena’s attempt to match Evan’s mother with her own father doesn’t quite work out as she thought it would. You will love Rowena and Evan. They are very fun characters! I really enjoy when a novella can make a romance believable in such a short few pages. The Matchmaking Game is another one to add to your lists!
