Book Review: The Matchmakers of Holly Circle
“Flirtation can be an art, or so they say. Well, if so, Ruth and Richard are “the old masters” of the flirting game.

Three doors down, at the end of the cul-de-sac, Mason Dickenson has watched his favorite neighbors with an interested eye, but he’s finally had it with the dance. So, with a pack of cards and a few tricks up his sleeve, he’s determined to get them out of the “friend rut” and into romance.
