Excerpt;
“What were you thinkin’?” he asked.
I shook my head. “You don’t want to know.”
Flynn raised an eyebrow. “Why wouldn’t I want to know?”
I shrugged.
“Ah, so you’re making me guess?”
“I doubt you could guess what I was thinking.”
“Can I try?”
I laughed. “Sure, you can try.”
“And you’ll tell me if I’m right?”
I knew he would never guess what I was thinking, so what was the harm in him trying? “Sure. I’ll tell you if you’re right.”
“Well, you’re frownin’ but you say you’re not angry, so it must be something you’re fretting over. Am I on the right path?”
I shrugged and nodded a little at the same time. “Keep going. This might be very enlightening.”
Flynn
kept his expression serious as he looked at me, but it was clear from
his eyes that he was smiling. “You said you’ve just been heartbroken and
maybe you’re not sure you want to date yet.”
I opened my eyes wide and Flynn bit back his smile.
“And
here you are with me. And you’re finding me endlessly fascinating and
you’re starting to wonder how you’re going to spend the day with me
without falling madly in love.”
A laugh that sounded more like a snort escaped my mouth. Flynn was now grinning.
“How’d I do?” he asked.
“Pretty
good. Until you got to the falling in love with you part. I was
actually trying to figure out how to make sure you knew this wasn’t a
date date. If you know what I mean.”
“You want me to know this is just a date, not a date date?”
“I’m
thinking of it more like an appointment instead of a date.” I couldn’t
believe I was saying this to him, but we were both smiling, and he
didn’t seem the least bit upset. I suddenly felt comfortable and calm.
He had practically read my mind and now I didn’t have to worry, because
he knew exactly where my head was.
“An appointment, eh? Isn’t that more like a haircut? Or a filling in a tooth?”
I laughed again. “Maybe appointment is a bad choice of words.”
“Let’s
just call it a play date. Like kids. That way we can have fun with no
worries, and if I feel like it, I can pull your hair—”at this point he
tugged on my ponytail “—or wrestle you to the ground.”
Now I raised both eyebrows.
“Ya know. Like kids do when they’re playing.”
“Okay,
it’s a play date,” I agreed. “Not an appointment. But wrestling me to
the ground is strictly forbidden. And you don’t need to worry. I’m not
ready to fall in love with anyone right now. Not even a cute guy with a
great accent.”
“Ah,
she’s fallin’ already.” He bumped against me with his shoulder and we
both smiled as we leaned on the rail and looked back at the silvery
city.

The Match Maker by Karey White (The Husband Maker #2)
(Summary contains spoilers if you have not yet read book #1 The Husband Maker)
It’s been six months since Charlotte and Kyle broke up, and the Husband Maker strikes again. Kyle is officially engaged, while Charlotte is still nursing a broken heart.
In an effort to get Charlotte out of her rut, she and her best friend decide it’s time for some good old-fashioned matchmaking. While Aleena arranges for Charlotte to meet up with a handsome Scottish tourist, Charlotte gets her two best friends together. But when sparks start to fly between Aleena and Angus, Charlotte is left feeling more alone that ever--at least until the charming Scotsman becomes more than just a safe, rebound guy and teaches her that maybe, just maybe, she can dare to open her heart again.
