Review
Two sisters, Georgina and Jessica, who run a headhunting firm in the City, are fed up with leaving romance to Fate. They decide to apply their professional skills of 'matchmaking' to their romantic lives: if they can successfully find the right person for the right job, surely they can find the perfect man for themselves, even if it means travelling half-way across the world to track him down..?
Stepsisters Georgie Harvey and Jessica Tanner run a City headhunting company. They are attractive, wealthy, intelligent and single. So they decide to do something constructive about it - after all, if they can successful select top people for top jobs then surely they can use their database for matchmaking purposes. Unfortunately, what sounds good in theory turns into unmitigated failure as disastrous date follows disastrous date. Then they accidentally uncover the CV of an American writer called Morgan Blaine, who appears to be perfect for them. There is only one problem: which one of them will he fancy? Never ones to shy away from trouble, Georgie and Jessica fly out to New York to track down the object of their desires. But, as the clich? says, the course of true love never did run smooth and the sisters meet and fall in love with two different men. So will the real Morgan Blaine please step forward? There have been several books featuring single 30something women on the market recently and for a new one to succeed it really needs to shine. Thankfully this latest offering from Cindy Blake is very good indeed. She writes with wit and verve, but still manages to address some of the very real problems facing todays successful, single women. How do you meet single men? Can you have a career and a relationship at the same time? And, when you meet the right man, will he feel the same way too? Georgie and Jessica, both highly attractive and entertaining characters, provide plenty of fun while they try and find the answers to these questions, and more. (Kirkus UK)

I got off to a bad start with this book, I found the first few chapters incredibly dull and had to force myself to continue reading, and I was glad I did. All the background history, the descriptions of Georginas work and the details of the disaster dates are quite heavy and really not necessary for the story. The book picks up when the girls reach New York. From this point until near the end the book is packed with humour and intrigue, I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud! Unfortunately the ending, in my opinion, is another let down.
It's not a bad book, it has a good story and is very funny in places.

I read this twice because i loved it the first time around and needed some entertainment the second time. i just picked it up randomly and it is even better than the title. not your usual rromantic comedy but has enough of the key ingredients to keep you laughing and gripped. quick read...worth it!
