Goodreads Summary


It would be interesting to be a matchmaker...but also terrifying.  I would be so afraid that my decision to push two people together could go horrible wrong.  Charlotte, on the other hand, has been a good matchmaker and tea seller for many years.  Unfortunately for the matchmaker, she needs to find a match herself!  It's not so easy to actually pair yourself up with someone.  Charlotte has a bit of a sad story to tell.  She had to leave the love of her life on the advice of his family.  This decision has haunted her for a decade. When he arrives with his potential wife in tow, Charlotte knows that she must do something.  

I'm not usually a fan of starcrossed lovers, but I definitely enjoyed this book.  The author kept everything sweet and upbeat.  I really loved the feel of the book; I am a tea drinker myself.  I thought their history with each other was interesting and well thought-out.  Overall, I would recommend this book to adult readers.
