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.
A divorce lawyer and the owner of a dating service.
Obviously this is a perfect match. But maybe someone should have told
Slade and Kate. Through in a little spark magic and you have
Searching for Someday.
Kate Seymour is a successful woman. She owns her
own business with her two best friends, she has her own house, and she
has a dog. What more does she need? In her mind, nothing. Love just
isn’t in the cards for her. She gets joy out of
watching the success of her matches – people brought together by her
spark. Wait…spark? Yes, this is a Jennifer Probst book, so of course
there must be something hinting at the paranormal. If you read her
Marriage to a Billionaire series, you know it was about a book
containing a spell. In her current series, it’s about a touch – an
actual electric spark that Kate feels when she touches soulmates.
Unfortunately, she’s never felt it for herself. That is
until Slade Montgomery enters her life.
Slade Montgomery is a divorce lawyer who believes
love is something Disney made up. When his younger sister signs up for a
dating service, he instantly believes that she is being conned. To
prove that love is false, he signs up for the
service as well. His challenge: make him fall in love or he proves them
false.
I honestly really enjoyed these two characters. I
love how strong and independent Kate is. She stands up to Slade, doesn’t
let him tear her down or shake her defenses. Sure, he gets under her
skin, but she handles him. And Slade, he is
definitely dedicated to not falling in love. So much, that the
positions he gets himself into crack me up. Probst is at her best here,
in my opinion. The witty repertoire between the two and their
stubbornness to give up their ways makes for an entertaining
journey. Throw in crazy friends and this book will surely satisfy for
anyone looking for a quick, light hearted romantic comedy kind of book.
That all being said, the character who stole the
book for me was Rob- the rescued pit bull belonging to Kate. At the end
of the book Probst mentions that the story of Rob is actually based on a
real dog who went through similar hardships.
This was a dog who was thrown from a car, hit by another car and left
to die. He was found and taken to the vet. The vet’s advice was to put
the dog down as the damage to the back legs was unfixable. Instead, the
dog was taken in and given love and thrives.
I couldn’t help but smile every time Rob appeared and I love that the
author added so much of him in the story.
This is a series I will be continuing.
