Book Description:
Lovably troublesome Gladie Burger runs into sizzling danger
and a fiery love triangle in the second installment of Elise Sax’s hilarious
and sexy Matchmaker romance series.
“Elise Sax will make you laugh. Her larger-than-life
characters jump off the page and make crazy seem like a fun place to hang
out.”—New York Times bestselling author Christie Craig
Since joining the family matchmaking business run by her
eccentric Grandma Zelda, Gladie is always looking for love. But when an
unbearable toothache knocks her out of commission and into the dentist’s chair,
she prays only for relief. No such luck. Emerging from an anesthetic haze,
Gladie awakes to find that not only is her tooth still throbbing, but her
dentist is dead—and the lead suspect in the murder, office receptionist
Belinda, just so happens to be Gladie’s first real client. Now it’s up to
Gladie to find Belinda a man and keep her from being locked up behind bars.
As if that weren’t enough distraction, two gorgeous men are
vying for Gladie’s attention: Spencer, the playboy chief of police, and Holden,
Gladie’s secretive, gorgeously muscled neighbor. Still, Gladie’s not
complaining about having a helping hand or two when the case leads her to a
dangerously bizarre cult. She may have met her match—and if she’s not careful,
it could be her last.
MATCHPOINT EXCERPT
“You have to get back to work. There’s been a heinous
murder, and there’s a murder victim who no longer has a face. Spencer, there’s
a face wandering around out there. If you don’t get back to work, there’s no
hope that the murder will be solved.”
Spencer’s color returned, and his smirk returned. “Pinkie,
you complimented me,” he said. “I might pass out from shock.”
I squirmed in my seat. “I didn’t compliment you. I merely
pointed out that you are the least incompetent of your police force. That’s not
saying a lot.”
“You complimented me. You said I could solve the No- Face
Case.”
“Shut up.”
“You can’t take it back now,” he said, interlocking his
fingers behind his head. “Okay, so I’m a great cop. Tell me how sexy I am. Tell
me you want me.”
“You are not sexy, and I don’t want you,” I lied.
“You’re almost naked. When you bend down, I can see the
whole triple play. It’s only a hiccup to a
grand-slam home run. Just say the
word, and I’ll come up to bat.”
“You gross me out.”
Spencer leaned forward, studied my face for a moment, read
something there, and then popped a Dorito into his mouth. “You can’t blame a
guy for trying,” he said.
“Focus on your work, dammit. The town is going to pieces,
and there’s a face out there. Why isn’t anybody impressed by the face?”

Book Description:
Certain to appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich, Jennifer
Crusie, and Katie MacAlister, Elise Sax’s hilarious series debut introduces
matchmaker-in-training Gladie Burger, who stumbles into a dangerous quagmire of
murder and red-hot romance.
Three months has been Gladie Burger’s limit when it comes to
staying in one place. That’s why Gladie is more than a little skeptical when
her eccentric Grandma Zelda recruits her to the family’s matchmaking business
in the quaint small town of Cannes, California. What’s more, Gladie is also
highly unqualified, having a terrible track record with romance. Still, Zelda
is convinced that her granddaughter has “the gift.” But when the going gets
tough, Gladie wonders if this gift has a return policy.
When Zelda’s neighbor drops dead in his kitchen, Gladie is
swept into his bizarre family’s drama. Despite warnings from the (distractingly
gorgeous) chief of police to steer clear of his investigation, Gladie is out to
prove that her neighbor’s death was murder. It’s not too long before she’s in
way over her head—with the hunky police chief, a dysfunctional family full of
possible killers, and yet another mysterious and handsome man, whose attentions
she’s unable to ignore. Gladie is clearly being pursued—either by true love or
by a murderer. Who will catch her first?
