Cover Description:

Melissa Bliss has just set a personal record. She’s matched up 49 couples, and she’s just itching to make it 50. While most days find her working at her Isle of Palms vacation property, Island Bliss, her true passion lies with matchmaking, a gift handed down through generations. Melissa cherishes using her gift to find the perfect match for friends, lonely hearts visiting the island and anyone but herself.

Shane Carver would like to make a match with Melissa since he met her six months ago. Trouble is, Melissa’s believes Shane’s perfect match is the tall, stacked brunette who’s new in town. While Melissa admits she has strong feelings for Shane, going against her matchmaking gift when all signs point to a different soul mate for Shane, isn’t an option.

To prove that Melissa’s the one for him, Shane will have to convince her to go against everything she thinks knows about true love and perfect matches and for once to listen to her own heart.

Read on for my thoughts on She’s the One.  No true spoilers, promise.

She’s the One is a charming, fast paced and touching story.  Melissa believes that she is destined to find the soulmates for others, but not for herself.  What she didn’t count on was one very stubborn man who is just as determined that Melissa is the only one for him.

I think I’m just as much in love with the Isle of Palms location as I am with the characters.  The beautiful descriptions and the overall “feel” of the island just makes the story that much better, for me at least.

What you read in the book description is pretty much the story you will get… a very good, light handed, no major angst love story.  And while I could add more to lengthen this review – why would you spend that time when you could be reading this lovely novel?  It’s obvious to just about everyone except Melissa that she and Shane are perfect together.  She allows her own fears of losing her matchmaking talents and some left behind issues drive her to find another match for Shane.. one he does not want and will not pursue.  For Shane – Melissa’s the one.

Follow the adventure of two people falling in love and simply enjoy the trip.  This is the perfect story for a lazy afternoon when you would love to be where these characters are – but are stuck in a hot, sticky, humid city.  Go on, indulge yourself.

Available for the Kindle (and yes, there are two covers and when that happens I like to show them off)  🙂
