All Arranged PB Luella Linley Book 3 by Meredith Resce
Mother of three adult children, and Regency romance author, Louise Brooker (AKA Luella Linley) should feel satisfied that she has been instrumental in getting her two daughters happily settled. Her meddling was successful, but came at a price, and husband, Russell, has advised she leave the children to their own devices.
But her eldest, Pete, is thirty-five, living back at home and discouraged. His fiancee left him days before the planned wedding and three months on, Pete still hasn't recovered. Louise might be biased, but her responsible, hard-working and handsome son would make a good husband and father, but he's given up after three failed relationships. But a mother knows. He is a good catch, but unlikely to be fooled by her scheming and meddling as she did with his sisters.
This situation calls for something special. A direct approach. Just like in her novels. Let the parents do the arranging and sort out the wheat from the chaff. This method will take any risk of rejection out of the equation, and let's face it, a mother can tell what's needed for a successful long-term relationship.
Carrie Davis dedicated herself to her career long ago. Her one and only serious relationship was a disaster, put down mainly to her youthful naivety at the time. Up until the birth of her niece, Carrie had not considered that she might even like a relationship, but now thoughts of loneliness were stalking her. Carrie's sister, Ellen, knows and when she sees an odd advert in the classified ads, she begins to wonder if this is a prank or an opportunity sent from heaven.
"In 'All Arranged', a modern-day marriage of convenience romance, we see the indomitable Luella Linley at it again as she blends her fiction with the real lives of her adult children. This results in a deeply emotional and moving story that sees Pete and Carrie learning to trust, learning to love, and the healing power of forgiveness. Keep the tissues handy!"
