Wrong Brother, Right Match

This book was pretty well written.

Kennedy likes her life neat and tidy. She runs a matchmaking company and wrote a program to help find the perfect match for her clients. She knows the software works because she tried it on herself and found the 'perfect' man for her, Justin Ellis. Both Justin and she are driven to succeed and their relationship seems perfect. Matt Ellis is Justin's brother and he runs the family's winery. He hasn't been able to get the woman he met while trapped in an elevator out of his mind. When it turns out that woman is Kennedy - his brother's fiance - he struggles to keep his feelings to himself. And while Kennedy knows that Justin is perfect for her, there is something about Matt that calls to her. With her company on the line, Kennedy needs to decide whether her relationship with Justin is perfect, or if a computer program can't find everything. Ms. Shirk has written an enjoyable cast of characters. Kennedy is adorable with her little quirks. Matt's love of family and protectiveness comes through and Justin tries his best. The secondary characters are memorable as well, and I enjoyed meeting Barbara, Matt and Justin's mom, and Caitlyn, their sister. Above all, I loved that no one was a bad guy. This is a story about relationships: familial, romantic and work. No one is perfect and everything takes work. What a brilliant message to send. NB: I received a copy of this book from the author. I have voluntarily chosen to read it.

Could the irony of this tale be any more delicious?! Kennedy is the owner of a software-based matchmaking company, but the "ideal match" made by that same program is anything but! Justin, the "perfect match", is a workaholic who's relationship with Kennedy comes in a distant second to his own ambitions. Isn't that he's a bad guy, per say...more like an oblivious lunkhead! Frankly, she's a bigger lunkhead for putting up it, especially after meeting, getting stuck and kissing a smoking hot guy in an elevator. And confessing that Justin might not be "all that"! So, fast forward six months and our "perfect" love birds are engaged and on their was to spend the holidays with his family. Any guesses to who Justin's brother turns out to be? That's right...smoking hot Matt the elevator guy! Talk about awkward, especially since they both still feel the attraction. Justin leaves Kennedy alone with his family, because of course there's some big business emergency. I'll let you read what happens from there and judge for yourself. I immediately loved Matt. He's a good guy, self-sacrificing, if not a little bit of a door mat compared to Mr.Executive Justin. Kennedy needed a good smack on the head; her search for perfection was a little delusional and she wasn't really fair to either brother. Maybe Justin could be a different man if he met his own "perfect match" but I feel he might have been written into a one dimensional corner for my tastes. A sweet Christmas romance; I enjoyed it very much!

She has started her own matchmaking company that uses a software program she created to help people find their perfect match.

It is Christmas time and Kennedy is going to meet her boyfriend Justin's family for Christmas. Well, Kennedy is in for a shock. The stranger from the elevator is Justin's brother Matt. Needless to say Kennedy and Matt are both surprised. Matt has not been able to forget her. Kennedy is definitely off limits since she is his brother's girlfriend. This is a funny, sweet, heartwarming, and clean romance. You will fall in love with Kennedy and Matt. Get comfortable because you will not be able to put this book down. This was a fun read and is great when you need a little escape from all the holiday rush or just life in general. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Charming! Simply charming! That's what this story is. Kennedy Pepperdine is certain she has found her perfect match. Good thing since matchmaking was her business. She's convinced she has it all until a moment trapped in an elevator with a stranger has her questioning everything. Shaking off the encounter she agrees to spend the holidays with her fiance at his family's home. Seeing her elevator companion again and finding out he is actually her fiance's brother deals her the blow of a lifetime. With Justin, her fiance, preoccupied with work and leaving her while he returns to the city, Kennedy has too much time on her hands and finds herself in the company of Matt Ellis way more than she should be. Don't miss this one, I highly recommend it.
