A Match made in Heaven? by Sun Chara ** Publication Day Review & Giveaway**

Today I am featuring Sun Chara's latest book, A Match Made in Heaven? which is published today by Harper Impulse on 31st August 2018. There is also a great International Giveaway to enter - details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.

Who 's meddling with happily ever after?
The Wedding: it’s a set up.
The Break-up: it’s a con.
The Reconciliation: it’s a trap.
When high society bride, Samantha Carroll, devises an ingenious plan to ditch her meddling matchmaking mamma’s groom of choice, the banker’s son, instead of the ordinary Irish guy Johnny Belen she’s pining for, all pandemonium breaks loose.
In the meantime, Johnny has devised his own plan to thwart monster-mamma-in-law’s matchmaking for the wedding of the season, but it is soon clear that Sam is not the type of girl who can be scooped up by just any man…

My Thoughts
I spent the first few chapters of A Match Made in Heaven? feeling increasingly confused and unsure as to what exactly was going on. Then I decided to stop taking it so seriously and to treat it as the fun read I think it is meant to be and I began to enjoy it more. It is very much a will they, won't they set up with Samantha and Johnny both in a state of misunderstanding as to what the other is feeling. Both are unsure and feel that they have to set the other up to find out if they are loved for themselves. The attraction between them is undeniable but in their way seem to be a few obstacles in the form of Sam's Mother and the slick Michael. There is more than one sting going on here.

    Added to the contemporary romance which dominates the story is a quirky, whimsical fantasy strand of the mysterious Mirabella. It made sense of the title for me and I decided to go along with it and suspend disbelief. After the initial few chapters, the plot moves along at a pace and there is plenty of humour for me in Johnny's reactions to his perceived rival. 

In short: A fun contemporary romantic comedy.
