      Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match! Annabelle Granger, a loser in a family of winners, inherits her grandmother's matchmaking business and sets out to capture the richest, most successful sports agent in Chicago for a client. As a crowning achievement, he wants the perfect wife. Could the quirky Annabelle be the answer to her client's quest? This unabashedly schmaltzy soap features the chaotic, angst-filled romance between the professional matchmaker and her most illusive client. However, this fast, funny production, with its appealing heroine, is flawed by Anna Fields's forced, unconvincing male voices and an over-the-top climax that tries to push too many erotic buttons.

      Phillips's latest captivating romance (Ain't She Sweet
      ; Breathing Room
      ) follows a pair of reluctant lovers from their combative first acquaintance to a happily ever after. Perpetually discombobulated but adorable Annabelle Granger inherits her grandmother's matchmaking business, renames it Perfect for You and targets Chicago's super-rich, super-aggressive sports agent Heath Champion, better known as the Python, as her first client. Intrigued by this spunky, determined upstart, Heath—who is dead set on finding the ultimate trophy wife by age 35—agrees to give Annabelle a chance despite his contract with Portia Powers of Power Match. Soon Annabelle is introducing him to the Windy City's most extraordinary women, none of whom seem to meet Heath's discriminating standards. Could it be because chemistry has sparked between the matchmaker and her client? From trading barbs the two progress to exchanging kisses—and more. But when Heath finally meets his should-be dream girl and Annabelle's business threatens to go bellyup, they each must face their deepest feelings and make some difficult decisions in the name of love. Phillips has once again created a delightful page-turner. Agent, Steven Axelrod.

      Annabelle Granger desperately needs an A-list client like sports agent Heath Champion to launch the matchmaking service she inherited from her grandmother. Luckily, she has an in with the Chicago Stars; unlucky for her, Heath already has a matchmaker. Annabelle doesn't let little details deter her. Phillips returns to her Chicago football world, bringing back Phoebe Calebow in all her sharp and brilliant glory. Male characters play more than a supporting role here, and reader Anna Fields has a naturally deep voice that is up to the task, making Heath appealing despite his workaholic, one-track mind. She is less successful with Annabelle, who sounds too old and self-assured for the part. However, the subplot with alternative matchmaker Portia Powers almost steals the show, and Fields couldn't be more effective showing the brittle exterior masking deep-seated fear and longing. Not as brilliant as "It Had To Be You", the story is still funny and fast-paced and recommended for public libraries." -Jodi L. Israel, MLS, Jamaica Plain, MA"
