About the Book
Book: The Matchmakers of Holly Circle
Author: Chautona Havig
Genre: Christian / Romance / Christmas
Release date: November 21, 2014
They’ve been in love for ten years, but it takes an interfering neighbor with a penchant for poker to unravel the mystery of their persistent platonic relationship.
Flirtation can be an art, or so they say. Well, if so, Ruth and Richard are “the old masters” of the flirting game. Despite their strictly platonic relationship, there’s “something there,” as so many of their friends and families say. Neighbors and friends for ten years, neither seems willing to change the course of their relationship.
Three doors down, at the end of the cul-de-sac, Mason Dickenson has watched his favorite neighbors with an interested eye, but he’s finally had it with the dance. So, with a pack of cards and a few tricks up his sleeve, he’s determined to get them out of the “friend rut” and into romance.
Thanks to Mason’s unique matchmaking scheme, Ruth and Richard concoct one of their own—a deeper, stronger, eternal love and relationship that nothing on earth can match.

My Review:
Richard and Ruth can't quite figure out that they are a perfect couple. They have been in love, but they just never took the other steps. Mason has been watching this entire time and has decided to take action. Can he get Richard and Ruth to get their act together and tie the preverbal knot? There's some laughs and a lot of emotion as Mason plays matchmaker. He is giving gifts and making sure they "came" from the opposite person. It's a sweet story, and in places, bittersweet, but over all I liked it and I appreciated the message in it.

How do you feel about me turning this link into a Bookfunnel link., It’s kind of a prequel short story. So I could just do an image to go with it and say, “Download a free short story that happens 10 years before the book begins”?? https://chautona.com/wait-10-years/
