Contemporary Romance

Cecelia has it all: a successful career as a cardiologist, a handsome and successful fiancé, and a wonderful apartment. At Cecelia’s engagement party, her sister Amy stuns the stuffy crowd by admitting to her gypsy heritage. Amy has an amazing psychic gift; she has the power to name the One True Love of the individuals she comes into contact with. Amy turns Cecelia’s world upside down when she adamantly declares that Cecelia’s One True Love is dying, and that Cecelia must take the chance to find him before he is gone forever.

Finn Concord, the widowed father of an extremely cute eight year old, thinks the rent-a-granny his daughter wants to meet is too good to be true. Upon arrival in Baltimore, Finn finds himself trusting the hardened old woman who offers to be a surrogate grandmother. Coerced into playing for Trudy’s baseball team, Finn is taken aback when Cecelia covertly hides a letter warning him of his potential death. Finn and Cecelia are immediately attracted, but Cecelia is determined to keep her highly organized life precisely the way it has been.

Humorous and entertaining, MAKE ME A MATCH is an enjoyable debut novel. The whimsical nature of the tale leaves hints of future novels, hopefully involving the wacky Amy and the mysterious Jasmine. Ms. Holquist does a great job showing the great leaps people will take for love.
