The highly anticipated second novel in the new Searching For series from Jennifer Probst, "one of the most exciting breakout novelists" (USA TODAY)—a spin-off of the bestselling Marriage to a Billionaire series—featuring a sexy matchmaker, and the rocket scientist who becomes her special project…
The up-and-coming matchmaking agency Kinnections is the hottest thing to hit Verily, New York—just like Kennedy Ashe, social director for the service she owns with her two best girlfriends. A coach, consultant, and cheerleader rolled into one super-sizzling package, Kennedy creates dream dates, encourages singles to shine, and never refuses a challenge—not even her new client, Nate Ellison Raymond Dunkle, rocket scientist and nerd extraordinaire. Kennedy vows to transform this hot mess in a lab coat with a disastrous relationship track record into the most wanted man on the Verily dating scene. If only she could turn the wand on herself. Though she radiates confidence and sex appeal, Kennedy harbors deep-seated insecurities from her tormented past. When she realizes she and Nate are cut from the same cloth and might be perfect together, can Kennedy learn to let her heart lead the way? Or will her fears sentence her to the sidelines as Nate finds love—with someone else?
Searching for Perfect, book 2 of Jennifer Probst’s Searching for series, details the romance between Kennedy Ashe and Nate Dunkle. Nate is a rocket scientist who seeks the advice of Kennedy’s matchmaking agency, Kinnections. As the social director it is her job to turn the nerd extraordinaire into a suave social acceptable date, but doesn’t count on becoming attracted to her client.
Kennedy is well versed in makeovers, as Jennifer Probst does a good job of illustrating. Kennedy is really portrayed as a product of her environment, although her obsession to not be the girl she was growing up could sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Nate is an all around good guy, albeit a bit awkward, which is seen in everything that he does. I really liked his interactions with Kennedy, and how he was able to show her something despite the fact that she was supposed to be the one that gave him constant advice. The one person that drove me crazy was someone in Nate’s inner circle who is so annoying you don’t know why Nate listens to him. Searching for Perfect gave a heartwarming story of two people who seem to have it together but need each other to get over their own vulnerability.
