About the Book:

Two octogenarians won’t stop until they make a match. . .Sage Presley loves her job as the receptionist at Golden Skies Retirement Village in Holiday, Oregon. She enjoys the residents and their wisdom, even if some of them are more than a little quirky. Determined to ignore the matchmaking efforts of two women at the retirement home, Sage’s sole focus is on raising her brother, Shane. In spite of her best efforts, she can’t help but notice the hunky electrician who continually comes to her rescue.

Grateful for the opportunity to open his own electrical business, Justin James moves to Holiday full of plans and dreams. He’s quickly drawn in by the close-knit community, but finds the lack of suitable single women disturbing. Despite himself, his attention is captured by the receptionist at the retirement home where he’s working on a big job. Yet, he can’t begin to understand why two matchmaking octogenarians are intent on forcing him together with the woman he’s convinced is married.




  

My Rating & Thoughts:    


The senior matchmakers are back at it, this time they are trying to get the home's receptionist and electrician together. Sage is raising younger brother and feels no guy will want to be saddled with that responsibility so she shy's away from dating. Justin trying to keep his distance thinking Sage is taken. I loved how Justin treated Shane (Sage's brother). I do wish we had seen more of the romance relationship happen but it was a lot of tell. However the this was an fun story with characters I wanted to root for. It was fun to catch up with Fynlee, Carson, Ruth and Matilda again, but I do wish the elderly matchmakers played a bigger role.
