The Irish Matchmaker by Jennifer Deibel, Book Review

 

Book Summary:

As daughter of a well-known matchmaker, Catríona Daly is no stranger to the business of love--and sees it as her ticket away from the sleepy village that only comes alive during the annual matchmaking festival. Enter Lord Osborne's son, Andrew, who has returned to the festival after being disappointed by a rival matchmaker's failed setup. Catríona seizes the opportunity to make a better match for the handsome man--and for herself!

Cattle farmer Donal Bunratty is in desperate need of a wife after loss left him to handle the farm and raise his daughter on his own. Shy and lacking the finer social graces, he agrees to attend the matchmaking festival to appease his daughter. But when he arrives, it's not any of the other merrymakers that catch his eye but rather his matchmaker--who clearly has eyes for someone else.

Catríona will have to put all her expertise to work to make a match that could change her life forever. Will her plan succeed? Or will love have its own way?

My Review:

Deibel’s newest release does not disappoint! She whisks the reader away to Ireland and the town on Lisdoonvarna during the matchmaking festival! I was immediately taken in by the sights, sounds, and people of the town. Donal, Catriona, Sara, Jimmy, and even Owen. I loved the atmosphere and felt like I was there watching the festivities.

The underlying theme of the sermon on the mount was expertly and naturally woven into the story. I loved the faith aspect that was such a natural part of the story. Deibel has created such a lifelike world that you become a part of it when you read.  The Irish Matchmaker is a lovely historical christian fiction novel and one that I recommend reading. I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
