Overview

For drama teacher Kathryn Lamb, being thirty-five and single means an endless run on the dating wheel. Everyone from her happily married sister to her meddling neighbor thinks it’s time for Kitty to take drastic action to find herself a wonderful man. So she enrolls in New York’s premier matchmaking service, which guarantees five potential mates or her money back. And if Walker Hart, the gorgeous entrepreneur of the company, is any example of the men who will be parading to her apartment, then Kitty will definitely be a satisfied customer.

But as each promising encounter turns into a disaster, Kitty realizes that the only guy who has captured her romantic heart is the one who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Sexy and sassy, Miss Match is a hilarious first novel that delves into the anxieties of the mating game, where every now and then one has to bend the rules. . . .

Saddled with running his free-spirited mother's trendy matchmaking service while she is off on her latest honeymoon, financial analyst and resolute bachelor Walker "Bear" Hart finds his single status in grave danger when quick-witted, re freshingly candid drama teacher Kitty Lamb signs up for the service and totally disrupts his life. Sassy dialog, appealing protagonists, and a generally lively pace carry this story through one disastrous date after another. Squarely aimed at the urban singles market, this sexy, sometimes hilarious romantic comedy offers a happy ending that puts it firmly in the romance camp, but it is also brash, smart, and unconventional enough to attract a broader readership, as well. Carroll is a native New Yorker and an actress. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information.
