Synopsis

Kate has given up on love—at least for herself. She is both blessed and cursed with the ability to sense a romantic connection between two people—a gift that her family passed down for generations. When Kate launches her own matchmaking company, Kinnection, with her two best friends in a cozy New York town, she has to put aside her own romantic disasters to make her business a success.




But when a furious man stalks into her office and accuses her business of being a scam, Kate is given the ultimate challenge to prove herself. Slade puts himself in her hands and asks Kate to find him love. Enraged at his arrogance but stubbornly eager to prove herself, Kate agrees, dedicating herself to the journey of finding him love... only to find herself falling for him along the way.

I really enjoyed “Searching for Someday”—much more than I thought I would. I primarily read young adult and new adult books since those are the genres I write, but this was a nice change up.

 

I loved the idea of the “touch” and the matchmaking company combined. It was a cute idea and the author pulled it off wonderfully without making it too cheesy.

 

I liked the characters, although sometimes I found Kate’s interactions with Slade a little too uppity, but it really fit the story so it was easy to overlook and I still loved Kate. She seems to have it altogether, but she has issues that run deep. She’s loving and loyal to her friends and she has a huge heart, and we see that in her relationship with Robert. Robert was one of my favorite “people” and his and Kate’s relationship was a great one and held a lot of meaning in the story; it was very touching.

 

Slade is cocky and a little arrogant. Mostly in a swoony way, but not always. He has an ego to match the six-pack he’s rockin’. I liked him a lot. He made me giggle a few times. But he’s got depth beyond the cocky, lady-killer exterior. He’s fiercely loyal and protective of those he loves, and I think that’s what makes him so easy to like.

 

The secondary characters blew me away. I LOVED them. Usually secondary characters are shoved into the background and we see very little of them. That is somewhat true here, but the secondary characters play a bigger role in this book than most and I loved them all, especially Kate’s mother. I wish she would have played a bigger role in the book. She was hilarious and completely zany. It was almost impossible not to fall in love with her. If I had to pick a flaw of “Searching for Someday” it would be that I wanted more of Kate’s mom.

 

Overall, I thought the writing was great. The character development was excellent. They were flawed and imperfect, just as people are. I rooted for the main characters even when I was so frustrated with them I wanted to reach into my Kindle and strangle them both (that’s a good thing for me). I like it when an author can pull me into a book and make me care what happens to the characters enough that even when I want to knock their heads together, I still love them enough to keep reading.

 

Bottom line: A fun, cute, and funny read. I enjoyed it a great deal. Worth your time.

 

Keep Reading!
