Matchmaker

De: Lauren Landish

Narrado por: Lance Greenfield, Carly Robins

Thirty men. One woman. I know how it sounds...dirty. Except it’s just the premise for a new reality show, Matchmaker, where I’m supposed to find love on TV.

Thirty sexy eligible bachelors are competing for my hand, trying to prove their love for me in front of millions of people. I know most are fake and only here to advance their careers, but there are two who draw me to them like a moth to a flame.

One is blond and blue-eyed, with a chiseled body and a prowling natural grace. While he might seem a little rough around the edges, with me, he’s kind and genuine. The other is passionate, driven, and totally focused on me - everything a woman could want.

I feel so torn. Do I choose the one I’m falling in love with, or can I be happy settling for the safe bet? That should be an easy question. If I were a bystander sitting at home, I know what my answer would be.

But I’m scared. He could destroy me, burn me to ash with his fire. And if I’m wrong about him, I don’t know if I’ll ever recover....

cute take on romance

a bit different from the many romance stories out there. this one has a reality showmance. enjoyed the behind the reality show scenes storyline.

Delightful!

I loved this book! Lauren Landish has an incredible writing style that has well developed characters, realistic situations, humor, chemistry between characters, and unexpected twists. When this book started, it has a Bachelorette vibe, but as it progressed it was so much more. I loved how the narrators displayed their emotions and had chemistry. I had read this book before I listened to it, and loved the story, the audiobook is even better. Lance Greenfield and Carly Robins added much to my enjoyment. I highly recommend this book. I will definitely listen to more books by this talented author and narrators.

I had a couple spots I skipped. its a good read.

There's a part in the story that brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard! a totally embarrassing moment.

A great insight into Reality TV

I’m not a huge fan of Reality TV especially the “romantic “ ones. Despite that this one shows what I always thought about them, however I really enjoyed it. It was an exceptional romance between the couple along with some angst. Loved the characters who seemed really real & normal.

Play to win!

A new take on reality TV, Lauren Landish has created a love story like no other. Emily auditioned for this show not knowing what she was getting herself into. 30 bachelors, and in the end, she will hopefully be left with the one that is the perfect match! Hayden, a former baseball player with a career ending injury is looking to extend his career with his stint on this show. What he wasn't expecting was to fall for the girl. Landish has again written a story immersing you into the lives of the characters. She has a way of writing making you feel like these are your friends, and you are right in the experience with them! This reality TV series is just as we all expect. Yes, we love to see all the fights and dates, but the behind the scenes is where it's at. Finding the place where there is no cameras, getting to know the men and their motives, choosing who we friend and who is there for their own gain. It's both aggravating and fun as I listened, hoping things would turn out as I wanted. Hayden is truly a man of character, and as the story progresses and eliminations are made, we get to see his reactions to the cuts. Having the male perspective is enlightening. Emily is in the toughest spot I think. 30 men to try to get to know, 5 minutes here and there is almost impossible to determine a connection. But with the two of them, it's there and impossible to ignore. But remember, it's reality TV, ratings are the important factor and the competition is high. Will the game play out as expected? Take some time to "watch" this season. It's complete entertainment with a lot of steam and a few surprises.

Lance Greenfield is perfect as Hayden. His voice is warm and passionate, frustrated and loving. He gives Hayden and a few other contestants real personality, and you feel like you know them all. Carly Robins gives her all to Emily. I love her portrayal as I could see myself in Emily's position with the same inflections and emotions Carly uses. Their performance is wonderful.

very goodLoved it

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Another great Irresistible Bastard!

This was another combination of great story and performance. It was more about emotion than action, and it felt liked it was a bit slow in places, but not enough that it detracted from the experience. Worth a listen!

omg

loved this one. Even though I wanted to tell and scream at parts. But Lauren Landish didn't disappoint!
