This Christmas, if they find love for someone else, they win. Fall for the competition…again…and lose.In Mistletoe, anything is possible.Everyone wants the small-town whirlwind fantasy, but no one knows where to find that kind of romance.But there’s a rumor you can find it in Mistletoe and only during the Christmas season.Enter the Mistletoe Matchmakers.Checking on her father recovering in … Mistletoe Matchmakers.
Checking on her father recovering in the hospital, Taylor Dean ducks out of the shared room to fill the flowers with water – okay, and to text her sister that their dad is sharing a room with his sworn enemy, the matriarch of the Wilson family!
Taylor can’t believe she’s made a successful career as a world-renowned matchmaker yet can’t find love herself. Maybe she compares everything to the one who got away… or maybe… everyone really does only get that one shot at happily-ever-after.
Just her luck, the two original matchmakers, while mortal enemies, also took their jobs seriously. After Taylor begs her father and the Wilson matriarch to help her, she can’t fight the surge of hope when they agree.
Until he walks in.
When Roman Wilson returns to Mistletoe, Montana after his mother’s heart attack scare, he makes wild claims and even crazier challenges when he runs into Taylor in the hospital room.
The last thing he needs is a Dean telling him what to do and that specific Dean to boot. No matter what he says though, he just digs himself a deeper hole.
Before Roman knows it, he and Taylor are pitted against each other in the yearly matchmaking contest to help their recovering counterparts.
The second chance Roman and Taylor have always wanted is given to someone else. Is true love in their matches or will they find their way back to each other?

My heart ached for Taylor. It was almost unbelievable that she was harboring all her anger toward Roman for 18 years. Furthermore, it was also almost unbelievable Roman found it hard to get his life together after being gone from Mistletoe for 18 years thinking he was doing Taylor a favor by staying away. Lots of angst throughout this book. Of course the outcome was predictable considering the title but it’s the getting there that was so fun to read. Some highs some lows but definitely entertaining.
Love
It is something we all want but Taylor felt kiss when her true love Roman walked away on their wedding day. Now he is back, can be prove himself that he made a mistake years ago.
Great book
A bit far-fetched premise, but overall, a good story.
This book is the start of a series with family, love, small-town residents, mystery and adventure.
This author knows how to write to reel her readers in and leave them wanting more.
She’s done it again wit witty characters and an interesting plot.
I am looking forward to the next book.
Bonnie R Paulson does it again with Matched with Her Cowboy Billionaire Best Friend with a book that will keep you interested until the end! Austin and Sam knew each other for years, in fact, Austin was best friend while each their crushes to themselves. But life seems to get in the way of the best laid plans and send us in an adventure where we never thought we’d be able to go. This story has twists and turns in a relationship that was a long time coming. Though the years of being best friends and telling each other everything (well, almost everything) and having the feeling of lose that can make you step back and reevaluate what you really want. This takes Sam and Austin into the ups and downs of their friendship. Can it survive and come out stronger or pull them apart?
Taylor is a successful matchmaker, but she just can’t find her own match.
She was abandoned at the altar by Roman, but when her father and the patriarch of the rival family are in the same hospital room, she asks for their help to match her.
But when Roman returns to the city, she learns that they will have to work together for the annual matchmaking contest, and they both want to win at any cost.
I really loves this story and recommend the reading.
Just how easy is it to forget being left at the altar after 18 years?
When Roman’s mother has a heart attack and ends up sitting in the hospital room of Taylor’s father on her way to being released, what happens when Roman and Taylor walk in?
Feelings go deep. Both are astonished and angry. Can they work through it? If so, how can Taylor get past the hurt she felt 18 years ago? How can Roman deal with why he left 18 years ago?
Interesting!!!
I absolutely loved this second chance romance with a twist. The whole Christmas theme running through it is wonderful and made me itch to put the Christmas décorations back up. The matchmaking aspect is so cute, especially the competition aspect. Wonderful and endearing characters, this is such an uplifting and optimistic read! I loved it.
A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This was how Roman returns to his small home town and is stuck with helping out on a contest with his ex Taylor. Taylor wants to win to help her family out financially and Roman wants to win for the same reason. Both families are well respected in town and being a small town family values are important. A good start to the series.
Such a wonderful romance. I loved the characters.
Enjoyed reading this book by Author Bonnie Paulson.
Loved this Christmas matchmaking story. The Wilson and Dean families’ business is matchmaking in the town of Mistletoe, Montana. Love the name of the town! When Roman Wilson leaves Taylor Dean standing at the altar, things are not the same. When the matriarchs of the two families end up in the hospital at the same time, matchmaking begins when Taylor asks for some help. She wants to them to find her match. Let the games begin when Roman, who has been gone for twenty years, steps into the hospital room. Great beginning of a new series!
This was a very enjoyable story. I thought the idea of a town of matchmaker was unique. Initially, I found Roman kind of irritating. I did love that he learned about himself. I felt bad for Taylor as she struggled to figure herself out. Good introduction to a new series. Very enjoyable!
Matchmakers in Montana! Taylor and Roman have both known they are the perfect match for years. But Roman is given bad advice and leaves Taylor at the altar. When he returns home after many years and a failed marriage he expects to find Taylor happy and married to someone else. But Taylor has never found anyone else to be her perfect match. Can they admit their love for each other and find their way back? Don’t miss this clean read in Bonnie Paulson’s new series!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Matched with her Cowboy Billionaire Ex-Fiance. This book is an awesome start to a new series. I love all the characters and can hardly wait for the next book. Two matchmaking families have many children who are also in the matchmaking business yet they remain unmarried. As the blurb says this book is about Taylor and Roman who have waited 18 years for their HEA. I love the concept for the series and I highly recommend this well written book.
An original storyline featuring two rival matchmaker families, a matchmaking contest, and a small town named Mistletoe. Each character had definite vivid personalities from catty, vain Olivia, sleazeball Bryson, somewhat self-serving nice guy Stephen, matriarch Elizabeth Wilson, patriarch David Dean, and of course the H, Roman Wilson and h, Taylor Dean.
I really enjoyed getting to know this community and the people that live there and I am looking forward to the continuation of this series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from StoryOrigin and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This was a good start to a new series. Two families make their business a matchmaking one. The Dean family and the Wilson family are at odds though. Eighteen years ago, Roman Wilson left Taylor Dean at the alter. He heads to Europe to start the international branch of the family business. After his divorce, Roman heads home to Montana to seek peace and find himself again. Upon landing at the airport, he learns, from his brother, that their mother is in the hospital from a heart-attack. Roman races to the hospital and sees his ex-fiance for the first time in 18 years as his mother, Elizabeth is sharing a hospital room with her father, David. These two have a long road ahead of them as well as the annual matchmaking contest.
This story was written in a multiple POV format but basically focused on the two main protagonists. Seeing Roman’s POV really helped me as there were times when I just wished Taylor would have told him off in a big way.
This is a sweet, clean second chance romance. The reason for the deduction of the star, there were times that I would have to re-read a section to understand the scene. It appeared disjointed at times. There were several miss appropriate words in place that a spell-check would not be able to catch. My copy was an ARC though and sometimes are not completely edited but this copy was just a little confusing at times. That being said though, I did enjoy the story and look forward to reading more from the series.
Mistletoe is known for its matchmaking, especially two families the Deans and the Wilsons but it’s also known for when Taylor Dean was left at the alter by Roman Wilson. Now 18 years later after he disappeared from town, he’s back. What is her world turning into? The hurt is still there. The Mistletoe festival contest is starting; Taylor and Roman are competing to see which family company will win the matchmaking contest. Can they work together?
I really enjoyed this story. I felt the anguish Taylor felt as I read the story. The story takes you on an emotional journey.
AMAZING! A fantastic, well written read. An intense storyline that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and hot chemistry. Plenty of excitement and emotionally heartfelt. A thrilling must read.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
Taylor Dean is one very buttoned-up woman who comes off as closed and rigid…or does she? As I read her story, it tugged on my heart. She meets up with Roman Wilson, right at the start of the book, and he is her ex-fiancé…not JUST her ex, but never-showed-up-on-their-wedding-day ex, and has been gone almost twenty years.
This may seem like the start of something you’ve read before however… The Deans and the Wilsons are rival matchmakers! Both Taylor and Roman have deeply troubling stories from their pasts and in order to find their true HEA, and love, they must confront their own fears and pre-conceived beliefs. My heart went out to both of them.
No worries, there is some “lightness” and levity to parts of this book and I enjoyed reading. I can see some more stories, at least I hope there will be. It would be fun to read more about these two families.
