    About this audiobook

    Meet Patrick Cooper– desperately down on his luck, and head-over-heels in unrequited love with his best friend Bridget. Meet Bridget's sister, Emma Donovan -eternally single maker-of-cakes for many a happy couple, whilst never making it down the aisle herself.

    Emma has four younger sisters, all of whom are married or getting married, and an Italian mother who can’t understand what is ‘wrong’ with her eldest daughter, who seems to be stranded on the shelf. Despairing of her own ability to find a suitable husband, Emma agrees to be part of a compatibility project to get married at first sight.

    Meanwhile Cooper is struggling to get over his crush on Bridget and seems destined to stay firmly on the shelf too. Perhaps it’s time his fate was taken out of his hands…

    Is happily-ever-after just about daring to take a chance, or do you need some extra magic to make love last?

    Join Beth Moran, Cooper and the Donovan sisters on this life-affirming and uplifting tale of love, family, friendship, and risking it all for happiness.

      This says uplifting, and it really isn’t. I felt pretty bad the entire time.

      **SPOILERS**

      I wanted to love it, but the way things went with Emma frustrated me so badly! I saw it coming, but really hoped there’d be an actual resolution and happy ending for her and Ben. I know it’s implied they’ll end up together, but it’s frustrating. And it angered me how selfish Cooper and her sister were. Overall, the story was well written and the characters well developed, I just hate leaving things up in the air. And Bridget getting what she wanted after being a brat was infuriating.

      Horrendous accent on mother and brother in law spoiled the listening experience
    • 5/5
      I have loved all of this authors books, but this may be my favorite. A little more suspenseful maybe, but they're all just really good stories.

      Loved it!! Loved the characters and storytelling. And brilliant narration!
