My review of Marrying the Matchmaker....this was a fun series to read by Jody Hedlund.
Zaira Shanahan and Bellamy McKenna, what a match. These two have been flitting around each other for awhile but neither wants to admit they have feelings for each other. When Zaira needs help writing a romantic scene in her story she goes to Bellamy. The results are more than she expected or imagined. I loved this story the best, both of them have secrets from their families that they are afraid to tell but they know each other's secrets. There is plenty of romance, humor, some mystery, faith and family dynamics in this story and it takes place during the cholera epidemic in St. Louis so there are the social issues of that.
