About the Book:

Two unlikely matchmakers set the stage for love…

Fynlee Dale returns to Holiday to take care of her wacky grandmother. Although it means giving up her dreams of a career and husband, she needs to be there for Grams.

Carson Ford vows to take care of his elderly aunt after buying her ranch. Comfortable with all aspects of his life, his world turns upside down when he meets a woman who's impossible to forget.

They find themselves in the midst of a plot by two scheming old women determined to make them fall in love.

  

My Rating & Thoughts:    ⭐⭐⭐

Second time reading, this time I was listened to the audiobook and I loved the narrator. There are so many laugh out loud moments throughout thanks for the grandma and aunt. The scheme to get their their granddaughter and nephew together. I enjoyed the interaction of Carson and Fynlee, but I didn't like that Carson was seeing someone at the beginning and wish he would have broke it off much sooner. This was a fun entertaining read.

Original Review from February 2017: Filled with many laugh out loud moments thanks to a couple very entertaining elderly ladies. They conspire to get Fynlee and Carson together, but Carson’s ex-girlfriend and misunderstandings create roadblocks, but thanks to their antics their final conspiracy leads to happy resolutions. I laughed so much through this. The elderly ladies made the book, but Carson & Fynlee draw you in making you care about them too. Ms. Hatfield weaves a entertaining story.
