Cute premise for a story, with the whole perfect match set up by the meddling family members. I liked the character's and the setting of this story, the seclusion of the character's and the bond that was pretty instant between the two MC's. I enjoyed this one!

What a great story! Relatively low angst and a great HEA for these two heartwarming MCs.

Family shenanigans and poor decisions bring these two "opposites attract" together. Effeminate, OCD, Jayden (love that name) is in a financial bind which he's obligated to work off with a matchmaking agency that's not altogether on the up and up. Good thing his first "match" is with big, handsome, logger Sven.

While the attraction is mutual, it isn't hearts and flowers from the beginning. A rocky start and hidden deception try to derail this "perfect match". I loved how neither MC flies off the handle. It's wonderful to see two adults work things out by talking. Yes, talking to each other. Wonderful invention that. ;-)

I enjoyed this romance. A LOT.

4* Sweet, believable tale with a couple of really likeable leads.

This is a sweet with a premise that could have come across as faux and unbelievable, but the author gave the tale a bit of a unique twist, and at the end, I was pleased that the dating website/agency owners got what they deserved.

Jayden and Sven were totally unmatched in size, background, education, finances, and lives, etc., but somehow they worked. I'm not quite sure how or why, because there's not one thing that stood out, not one thing that gave me a eureka! moment, but it all came together. Both were really decent characters with a love of family and both had a really strong morale stance about doing the right thing, and that's what caused the conflict between them.

I liked how Sven was a gentle giant who didn't jump to conclusions or throw his weight around or make demands, and Jayden showed his innate decency by his interactions with members of Sven's family. This was more a tale about people, love, having your loved ones' backs, doing the right thing and about talking things out rather than bottling up. I liked how the author didn't use Jayden's reveal to create faux angst and a break-up between the guys; too many would have, but here, she let their personalities that we'd already come to see over the course of the tale make things organic.

The tale ends in a good place, with the leads about to embark on what I think was their HEA. Neither seemed the type to want something fleeting, so I had hopes for them.

The epilogue was rather revealing, and despite not liking the guys from the dating agency, I couldn't help but be intrigued by the possibility of them getting their individual comeuppances. A couple of characters haven't been painted as black as the others and perhaps there's hope for them. I'd certainly read more of this series.
