The Matchmaker

Utterly Hilarious Romantic Comedies by Catherine Walsh

De: Catherine Walsh

Narrado por: Roisin Rankin

Katie Collins has barely ever left her tiny Irish village of Ennisbawn. Why would she? With its tightknit community, friendly local pub, surrounded by glistening lakes and perfectly mysterious forests, it’s a place of peaceful beauty.

Or it was peaceful. Until Callum Dempsey turned up. Part of a hotshot (and, Katie has to admit, hot is annoyingly apt for him...) development team with zero eye for beauty or charm, he’s not only building a hideous hotel just outside the village, he’s also just announced a plan to knock down Ennisbawn’s only remaining pub. To make way for a view from the golf course.

It’s the final blow to the village and the last straw for Katie, who refuses to let her home-from-home disappear. The pub is her life–her job, but also her last connection to her parents, who had met at Ennisbawn’s once-famous matchmaking festival that was held in the grounds.

But, after being laughed off the building site in her best flannel pyjamas for demanding the builders leave, Katie decides enough is enough and hatches a plan. She’s going to revive the matchmaking festival, save the pub, and single-handedly bring the town back to life again.

She might even help her two best friends find love as well. Since, heck, what’s another project when you’re taking on the world’s hottest, evilest man?

But what Ireland’s newest matchmaker doesn’t know is that even when someone’s really not your type on paper, love might be a little bit more than just a formula....

A gorgeously escapist and utterly hilarious small town romcom perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sophie Kinsella, and Christina Lauren.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

A very sweet story…. I laughed and shed some tears as well. The narrator was great!

love!!!

I love love love Catherine Walsh books and the audio narrators are always amazing!

Cute story

Katie ! Too much sarcasm and immaturity. She was so annoying and whiny . Callum was so sweet but she was hard on him.

Loved the characters!

This story has a good variety of characters who seem quite real and relatable. I enjoyed the story. It really carried me along and had me invested in the people and situations. A really enjoyable read!

Wonderful! Hope it becomes a series!

Great characters and a story that kept me listening deep into the night. Really enjoyed the narration and sincerely hope it becomes a series. So many fun stories to follow.

I want more

I am loving this author’s style
of writing and want more!! Weaving in the background and lifestyles of the Irish people really sucks me in.

Funny, smart, and sweet!

A very enjoyable listen - our lead is a funny and confident Irish woman, who manages to stand up for herself, her pub, and her community, even though she does much of this by accidentally putting herself in the position of leadership. Funny and romantic, and as with all of Ms. Walsh’s books, the side characters are lively and real as well!

Just Everything❤️

Catherine Walsh never disappoints. As always, fabulous characters, storyline, and narration. Loved it! Didn't want it to end.

Wonderfully fun and unique story!

I love the way that Catherine Walsh writes rom com without the same old irritating storylines about the lead characters having a misunderstanding that carries on for the entire book and they never actually talk about it like real life relationships. She avoids all these silly tropes while still managing to write romance, fun, laughter, and well developed supporting characters. She is my new favorite author!

Excellent!

So sweet, I loved it! Can’t wait to read more from this author! Can’t believe I am just now finding her !!
