There is so much more to Blake than he ever realized and suddenly, Ian finds himself wanting to break all of his rules for Blake. Will Ian be able to help Blake find her HEA? Will Ian follow his heart and break all of his rules???

What can I say about The Matchmaker’s Playbook? The Matchmaker’s Playbook is fresh and exciting. The story-line is a lot of fun and will keep you entertained the entire time. The Matchmaker’s Playbook is such a refreshing take on matchmakers. It’s seriously the best idea ever to have a man as matchmaker. I loved that this story was told from the male point of view. I loved knowing what was going on inside Ian’s head and watching him navigate his way through some unfamiliar territory. I absolutely adored Ian and Blake together. I loved how real and honest Ian was. He was never ashamed of his past. He was just like this is me, take me as I am. I think that Blake was a great match for him. She made Ian question all of his rules and I loved how she really opened his eyes and made him want more out of life.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh, it frustrated me at times and made me swoon all at the same time. I think the Wingmen, Inc series is off to a really great start. The characters are a lot of fun and I’m really looking forward to seeing where this series will go next!
