From the author of DONUT FALL IN LOVE comes a perfect summer love story set in the forested paradise of Canadian cottage country that asks the question: can love beat the odds when the odds are two mothers dead-set against it?<\/p>\n

----------------
\nYou\u2019d think my mother would be trying to set me up with architect Neil Choy, the unmarried son of her best friend. But you\u2019d be wrong.<\/p>\n

My single mother has always been fiercely independent. Since I was a small child, she\u2019s always told me not to believe in fairy tales and that I don\u2019t need a man. So she\u2019s failed to mention that Neil is a total hottie in glasses. When I see him for the first time in a decade, on a multi-family cottage vacation, I\u2019m in for quite a shock. (In fact, I nearly fall in the lake, but let\u2019s keep that a secret.)<\/p>\n

He sure can grill a mean steak and mix a killer cocktail, plus he\u2019s pretty impressive in a kayak. Yes, he\u2019s a little stern and grumpy, but that just makes him more fun to tease\u2014and makes it more satisfying when he quirks his lips in my direction.<\/p>\n

Even though my mind is spinning romantic fantasies, I\u2019m not entirely sure how he feels. And I\u2019m afraid that if anything happens between us, it\u2019ll screw up the friendship between our staunchly anti-relationship mothers. Especially since they\u2019ve been acting increasingly weird since we arrived\u2014I will never forgive them for the S\u2019mores Incident. In fact, I think they\u2019re trying to sabotage my love life, and I\u2019m starting to worry that I won\u2019t make it through this bizarre summer vacation\u2026<\/p>\n

----------------<\/p>\n

Perfect for fans of Helen Hoang\u2019s THE BRIDE TEST and THE DONUT TRAP by Julie Tieu, THE UNMATCHMAKERS is a forced-proximity, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy that explores finding the balance of meeting expectations and being true to yourself, and how even the best of intentions can sometimes backfire.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
