Summary: Another delightful visit to Cactus, Texas!
Review: Once again, prolific Harlequin author Judy Christenberry takes her readers back to the delightful, love-filled town of Cactus, Texas - Home of The Matchmakers, a group of four grandmotherly friends whose main goal in life is to see that everyone in town is happily married. In this story, the ladies have successfully married off their sons, and now turn their sights to the other single ladies in town. Newcomers Megan Ford and Rick Astin are soon caught up in the Matchmaker's loving web of romance and soon find that their marriage of convenience might become a soul-match after all. As usual, Judy Christenberry keeps the action lively and fun, and her characters worthy of rememberance. She makes you wish there was a real town like Cactus, Texas where love reigns supreme.

Summary: So-So Characters But A Cute Story
Review: The characters in this novel didn't particularly move me, although the premise of the story was good. The characters' motives for marriage were shallow at best and a man with money would surely have been more cautious about marriage (even in name only) to a woman he didn't know. And a woman responsible for two small children would surely be more cautious about the man she proposes marriage to. The ending left something to be desired and I have to admit I felt cheated. Instead of the anticipated showdown between the heroine and her good-for-nothing brother-in-law over the two children in the story, the demise of the brother-in-law struck me as a little too convenient. An easy way to get him out of the picture.
