Searching for Perfect

Searching For, Book 2

By: Jennifer Probst

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby

The up-and-coming matchmaking agency Kinnections is the hottest thing to hit Verily, New York - just like Kennedy Ashe, social director for the service she owns with her two best girlfriends. A coach, consultant, and cheerleader rolled into one super-sizzling package, Kennedy creates dream dates, encourages singles to shine, and never refuses a challenge - not even her new client, Nate Ellison Raymond Dunkle, rocket scientist and nerd extraordinaire.

Kennedy vows to transform this hot mess in a lab coat with a disastrous relationship track record into the most wanted man on the Verily dating scene. If only she could turn the wand on herself...

Though she radiates confidence and sex appeal, Kennedy harbors deep-seated insecurities from her tormented past. When she realizes she and Nate are cut from the same cloth and might be perfect together, can Kennedy learn to let her heart lead the way? Or will her fears sentence her to the sidelines as Nate finds love - with someone else?

Refreshing

What made the experience of listening to Searching for Perfect the most enjoyable?

I really liked that the male in this story wasn't an 'Alpha', yet he was still funny and sexy. It was refreshing because this is the first story I have listened to that the guy wasn't a dominating control freak, who was perfect looking in every way. Kennedy's attraction to Nate developed over time.

What other book might you compare Searching for Perfect to and why?

Searching for someday...the first book in the series. There were similar storylines in each one.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I did...may have not been the most productive thing to do this long weekend, but it sure was enjoyable.

Any additional comments?

Normally I like books that are full of smexyness. There was only a little of that in this one....but it sure was good.

Fun and Entertaining

Down the middle entertainment oh except for those steamy intimate scenes between ken and nate

Her voice and inflections

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

gotta see

Any additional comments?

I'd like to contact other authors that I like to have her narrate their books

Nerd romance

If it weren't for the loveable nerd in this book it would have been a 1.5-2 at very best. If you're looking for a quirky love story, stop here.

Waiting to hear what happens to Jen!

What did you like best about this story?

The intimate scenes with Kennedy and Nate were the best! Characters are very likable --

Which scene was your favorite?

The taste testing!

Any additional comments?

There are three more characters that can be developed in this series. Can't wait to read what is upcoming!

Super Cute

This one started off a little slower than the first one but once the rhythm was established the pace was picked up

Probst launches a successful book 2

Searching for perfect is the second in the "Search for" series. Recently, Probst concluded the "Married to a Billionaire" series which started and finished strong. In this new story line, she uses a match-making service (Kinnections) as her platform. In the first book Kate, the owner, found her match. In this one, Kennedy finds hers. As with most of these plots, you kind of know what coming. Probst adds in enough suspense, detail and mystery to keep the listener ttitalated. I like the depth of her characters.

The universe of characters in the series grows stronger, which is necessary element to any series. Although this is definitely not a YA adult romance, the sultry bits are quite restrained and not the focus. This novel emphasizes the strength of the main character (Kennedy) and her determination to resist change.

Madeleine Maby does an exceptional job at narration. She had narrated many other of Probst's novel. This novel stands alone without reading novel one. You could read novel 2 and then novel 1 without too many spoilers. In conclusion, I recommend this novel and the series. Keep them coming.

Great updated romance!

I love when a story can make you laugh. this plot is fresh for current times and really pulled me in and made me laugh. I love the main man. I love that he struggled so much with dating. I think the nerdy element is what really caught my attention. and to forewarn the reader, the sex scenes are very steamy.

Love it! So Funny and Entertaining!

Would you consider the audio edition of Searching for Perfect to be better than the print version?

Yes, we can't go wrong with Madeleine Maby! I love Jennifer Probst books, they are always entertaining! This is one of my favorites so far.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Searching for Perfect?

I loved Nate character, he was a perfect nerd. He was so direct with women, I totally got them. I wished more men would be more direct like them. There was some parts that I couldn't stop laughing.

What does Madeleine Maby bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I'm never disappointed in Madeleine, she brings it all together. She gets into her character and does a great job!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Kenni drove me crazy, I can understand her insecurities, but she kept bringing up the past. The touchy scene was the bedroom, when Kenni and Nate see each other at Jena's engagement party and Wolf was in the middle of Nate professing his love to Kenni.

Any additional comments?

What was a cliffhanger for me was Jena's trouble, when is Jena's and Wolf's story going to come out? Overall, it's a great book to listen too!

Excellent!

I loved this book and the series. the narrator is great I really enjoy listening
