ABOUT THE BOOK
From the Power of the Matchmaker series:
Every time Andra Stone crosses paths with Everett Covington, trouble follows. First she loses her scholarship. Then she loses the apartment she’d wanted more than anything. But tragedy hits hardest when she loses her grandmother—the best friend Andra has ever known. She determines that Everett is a talisman of ill fortune. When Everett comes to work in her hospital and is applying for the same position she’d been working toward since residency, Andra believes him to be her personal poltergeist.
The human heart has four chambers—four chances to get it right. Andra has only one chance left.
***This book is part of a multi-author project that features one recurring character—Pearl, the matchmaker—but it is a STAND-ALONE novel.***
MY REVIEW
I enjoyed this next installment in the Power of the Matchmaker series (it can be read as a stand alone). Pearl was, as always, a fun addition to the book.
Andra Stone is focused and determined to become a surgeon and prove to her family she can do it without their wealth or help. Everett Covington is fun, kind, and patient and also a med student who does a fairly good job of finding balance in his life despite his college studies (Andra doesn't do so well in that department!). When they meet, they are drawn together and end up dating. But then Andra kind of has a freak out moment and ends their relationship. Four years later, Andra and Everett meet again and resume their "friendship". When life once again gets in the way - you guessed it - they go their separate ways again! I admired her determination and tenacity but it does make for a long, drawn out, on-again/off-again relationship that was a little frustrating. By the fourth time around, you're a little leary of things working out...lol. However, they've managed to build a solid friendship and put the dysfunction of their families behind them so maybe this time they'll make it work!
All in all a well written, delightful addition to the Power of the Matchmaker series!
