Lucinda is the Director at a PR and Crisis Management firm. Samantha is the co-owner/runner of Perfect Match, a matchmaker company. Both have drama in their lives, not to mention pasts that they're both trying to get over. But, when they meet each other they slowly come to realize that perhaps this relationship between them could be something that deviates from the pain in their past.

The romance plot part of the story wasn't super surprising. But I really did like the characters. Especially Andrew, Samantha's partner. As well as some of Lucinda's friends and family-ish characters.

What was my very, very favorite part of the whole novel though, was just how perfectly the Boston MA stuff was done. From the restaurant, to the streets, neighborhoods, all of it just felt right and real. And that doesn't always happen, whether or not the author's from the area.

It was a fun read and once I got into it quite an engrossing one too (and now I really am jonesing to go to the Aquarium and see if I can see Myrtle!)

I got this advanced galley through Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books. ( )
