Love is Come (Power of the Matchmaker) by Heather B. Moore
*April Power of the Matchmaker book*
“The Power of the Matchmaker” series is a 12 book series, with one book releasing each month during 2016. They are all stand alone books, but they do all include the matchmaker, Pearl, who isn’t restricted by time boundaries. Pearl is introduced in the prequel novella matchmaker series book.
This story was quick reading that I thoroughly enjoyed! I have really liked the “Power of the Matchmaker” series, and Heather Moore is one of my favorite authors!
Nelle loses her parents in a tragic accident and has to live with her aunt’s family further up north until she turns of age to receive her inheritance. Things don’t go as well as she hopes at her relatives home and with her recent parents death, Nelle isn’t sleeping well and feels depressed. She starts to have hope however when she meets an old acquaintance, Matthew, but soon learns he’s “engaged” to her cousin Alice. Nelle also meets a new friend, Matchmaker Pearl, who befriends her and helps her with herbs and with advice.
I really liked Nelle’s personality and how she continued to help and care for others, expecting nothing in return. I loved her love for music and how it blessed others as well.
Sometimes I have a hard time reading books in this time period (early 1900s), but this story was easy to read and kept my interest the entire time. I really really enjoyed it!
I received a complimentary copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review on social media-all opinions are my own.
About the book:
Nelle Thompson lives a life of privilege during the turn of the century New York City. When her parents are killed in a terrible accident, she’s forced to live with her aunt’s family in a small town in Connecticut, and treated as a poor relation with no financial independence. Broken hearted and riddled with insomnia, Nelle’s health begins a downward spiral. When a locked part of her heart blossoms around her cousin’s fiancé Mathew Janson, Nelle doesn’t know if she can endure one more heartbreak. Miss Pearl, owner of the local apothecary shop, becomes a mother figure to Nelle, but a fateful summer day has Nelle questioning everything she’s ever believed and wondering if she’ll ever love again.
