How I Met Your Brother (Power of the Matchmaker, #11)

by Janette Rallison

The best day of his life, the worst day of hers.

Back in college, Marco Dawson never thought of Belle as anything more than a friend. If she had crossed his mind on his wedding day, it was probably only to wonder why she hadn’t shown up to be a bridesmaid. After all, his new wife was her old roommate. Seven years have passed since then, and Belle just found out that Marco is divorced and vacationing with his family in an elegant Cancun resort. She’s not about to let the right man get away twice. She heads to the resort where she plans to casually bump into Marco and ignite some romantic flames.

But Belle hadn’t planned on one thing: Flynn Dawson, Marco’s handsome, charming, and determined twin brother. He thinks Marco and his ex-wife can make amends and he’s not about to let Belle stand in the way.

Part Sabrina, part While You Were Sleeping, romantic comedy readers will eat this book up!

I tried to resist this book. I expected it to be all awkward moments and embarrassing happenstance. But try as I might, I couldn’t resist Janette Rallison forever.

And I’m glad, because this is actually a fun, cute read. It’s at least 60% less embarrassing than I expected. And Flynn is 70% more charming than the awkwardness so it works out well. Even when he’s being a jackass he’s likable.

Daisy, on the other hand, never really makes up for being a completely selfish brat. So it's easy to side with Belle who is so much more interesting and nice. I think there’s several places the story could have gone deeper or been more developed. But it’s fun to read, and sweet, and quick and light so it all works out pretty well.
