Walker Hart finds himself running his mother’s dating service, Six In The City, when she takes off on another of her sudden vacations.  Though Walker is glad to help, he is a self-designated bachelor who has no time or inclination towards wedded bliss.  After all, he has seen too many “happy” marriages go down in flames.  When a new client enters the service, Walker has to fight his gut instinct that says she is the only woman for him.  His job is to find her the perfect man, and setting her up on these dates is quickly fueling his jealousy.  How can he take a chance on happily ever after when he knows it doesn’t exist in the real world?

Kathryn Lamb loves her job as a drama teacher, but things in the romance department are not as great.  She is thirty-five and is recovering from her engagement to a “fiancé from hell”.  After listening to her nosy neighbor urge her to visit her dating service, Kathryn finally relents and allows them to find her dream man.  They guarantee each client five dates, but what if Kathryn has fallen for the one man she cannot have, Walker?

Not only is Kathryn a riot with her “call it as I see it” attitude, but her emotional sensitivity adds depth to the story.  Walker is every woman’s fantasy – he knew when to bring flowers and hot fudge sundaes or when a shoulder to cry on was the best route to take.  The supporting cast of characters is just as brilliant; they never outdid the main characters, and they were blended in perfectly.  With its fast pace, entertaining storyline and passionate romance, I know MISS MATCH will gain quite a following.  I cannot wait for Ms. Carroll’s next book and truly hope it will not be too long a wait!
