Review by Zita:
Meet our heroine, Julia: owner of Introductions, a dating service. Julia's two best friends are Kara and Leslie. And then there's Verda, the owner of Magical Matchups, a rival dating service that is stealing Julia's clients. What's a savvy businesswoman to do? Send in spies, of course. BFF's Kara and Leslie infiltrate Magical Matchups to see if they can figure out the secret of Verda's success. Our story begins with the three friends meeting to discuss what the spies have uncovered. What they tell Julia sets off an inevitable series of events that will culminate into a very satisfactory ending and create a wonderful romance you will end up re-reading, I assure you. Toss in Verda's handsome grandson Scott, and you really have something magical happening. Scott just happens to be Leslie's ex-boyfriend - the One That Got Away. Leslie wants him back, but Verda is convinced that Julia and Scott are fated soul mates. Tension, misunderstandings, and mayhem ensues.
I really enjoyed this story. It's the fourth book in Tracy Madison's Magic series, but you really don't have to have read the first three to enjoy this story. When you first meet Julia, she comes across as one of the most repressed characters you've ever read. And Scott! Well, he's the quintessential jerk. I didn't actually care for either of them at first, but the reasons behind their behaviour become clear quickly enough and you will warm up to (and start rooting for) both before long.
Of course, the most important character doesn't show up until the middle of the book. One of Julia's clients, Zita Hildebrandt, goes on a date set up by Julia. Her date is a pediatrician named Daryl. Daryl really likes Zita and thinks the date was fabulous, but Zita's experience was quite different. However, being a lovely and fair-minded individual, Zita agrees to give Daryl another shot. On their second date, they each bring along a friend. As it turns out, Zita falls for Daryl's friend Adam, and Daryl falls for Zita's friend. So in the end, Zita gets her well-deserved Happy Ever After. How did I end up in this book, you ask? Well, I won a contest. But that certainly didn't bias or prejudice me toward this book! Oh, no, not at all! This truly is an enjoyable read and I highly recommend it.
