Love was never in the plan. Bruno crushed on Andi from the first moment he stuck his tongue in her mouth on a balmy Miami New Year’s Eve. It was only supposed to be a distraction, but one look at the red-haired fiery assistant and one tequila taste was all it took to get him hooked. The plan, if there had been one, just blew up in his face leaving a supermassive black hole in his heart. Andi … heart.
Andi picked up everyone’s mess at Monroe Matches’, including, but not limited to taking one for the team. Now she can’t seem to shake the bouncer with puppy dog eyes and tattoo sleeves who puts her heart and her life in danger at every turn.

M.C. Cerny has written a 5-star book that has Andi and Bruno dealing with their feelings for each other. Andi works for Carla at Monroe Matches as the Office Manager and personal assistant to Carla. Monroe Matches has joined forces with Knight 2 Remember and Carla has asked Andi to take some paperwork to Randall the owner of Knight 2 Remember to sign but tells her that he is over at Club Taboo. She takes the paperwork to Randall and asked to wait due to a call he has to take. She is sitting at the bar when she feels Bruno come up behind her. She is upset with Bruno over something he did on New Year’s Eve. She feels like Bruno used her and now she wants nothing to do with him. Bruno has feelings for Andi and every time he tries to talk to her, she either completely ignores him or brushes him off. Carla has got it in her head to set Andi up with one of her clients and as soon as Andi gets back to the office Carla calls her into her office to tell her about it. Andi is not happy about this because she is not looking for a match. Carla tells Andi that she will be at the mixer that she has set up for the next night. Bruno finds out about this and tries to get inside but he is stopped at the door. He is told to go home and let things go the way they are supposed to go. Randall has found out that Bruno went to the hotel where the mixer was being held and now he is guarding the VIP floor for a bachelorette party. He is looking over the dance floor when he sees Andi come in. Just by the look of her, he knows she is upset over something. Bruno gets someone to cover for him and he goes to talk to Andi. He acts like he does know what is going on. Bruno asks Andi if she was working and she tells him yes it was work, but she didn’t know her boss was serving her up on a silver platter. Andi tells Bruno that the whole things was a set up from the start. He asks her” if that was the way she felt over New Year’s?” She tells him that after it was over she did. Every time when she gets upset and goes to Club Taboo, Bruno is there to help her. When she goes out with some co-workers and gets drunk and can’t find her house keys, she calls Bruno. He comes and gets her and takes her back to his house.
Can Andi ever forgive Bruno and let her feelings for him out.
Will Bruno ever get Andi to give him a second chance?
This was a wonderful book to read and I would recommend it to anyone.

Promises laughter. This is the second book I read from this author. I find her writing style agreeable and very witty. Her characters are well described even if I don’t always find those characters particularly endearing. Our protagonist couple is Bruno and Andrea, who both work for Monro Matches as a bouncer and administrator respectively. Their developing attraction for one another was well described, although Andie’s reluctance to admit her burgeoning feelings for Bruno is baffling. I found Carla’s manipulative, interference and assumption to have the right to run Andie’s life, practically bullying her into dating Topher, the rich yachtsman, strange. None of her friends felt that was out of order. Although I felt that Andie’s personality is a people pleaser, her inability to stand up to being set her up with a stranger because of an algorithm a bit excessive. I felt sorry for Andrea several times in this story. I often had a belly laugh with this book. I would recommend this light-hearted read to all who like a HEA.

When opposites attract, it’s a great story that pulls you in, captivates you from the start and is an enjoyable read you don’t want to put down. Great characters that become a perfect match the more time they spend together. So grab a glass of wine, curl up in your favorite reading spot and enjoy this great romantic comedy.

I loved Andi and Bruno together. They’re opposites that are perfect for one another. I enjoyed the antics of most of the secondary characters, but I couldn’t get behind Carla’s plot to match Andi with someone else. Andi comes across as legitimately afraid of losing her job if she doesn’t roll over and accept this deeply unpleasant assignment, and that made me mad at the book. As much as I was cheering for Bruno to ‘get the girl’, it was hard to come back from how much I disliked Carla and her schemes. Mind you, Bruno’s family sound fascinating and I would love to read more about them in the future.

A little zany, a whole lot hilarious, and so innocent. What a story I don’t know who was the craziest character but my vote is going to Carla, she actually scares me. But what an innocent couple.

This is actually funny and sexy with the right amount of wit, banter, and heat, that I couldn’t put it down. Andi and Bruno are everything but the side characters are what make this even better.

Fun, messy and a bit of spice.
This is part of a series but can be read alone. Andi cleans up the messiest and things are messy with the merger. Bruno is the bouncer at the club and things didn’t work out after the kiss.
But will things sort itself out? With more meddling?
Book #3 in this series will keep you guessing about what will happen next. Andi works for Monroe Matchmakers and has no time for a man but her boss wants to set her up with a billionaire. Bruno works for a competing company and can not keep his eyes off the beautiful Andi but he is just a bodyguard. This is a really cute story with some funny characters that are very entertaining.
Book 3 in the matchmaker series and a brand new author to me. I really enjoyed the story within the book and I did read the first 2 so I could get a handle on the characters. Andi works at Monroe Matches being the extraordinary admin assistant she can be although her life spirals out of control when Carly, the owner, matches her with someone and she doesn’t want to know. Bruno is a bodyguard but has his eyes on Andi. What’s clear reading through the story is that Andi doesn’t want a man, Bruno wants Andi and they both have friends to help. I did love the book once o got into it.
Caustically cute
First of all, I have to say… I was hoping that flag on the cover would fall, even just a little 😉
I loved ‘The Naughty Last’, so I was really looking forward to reading this book too. And it did not disappoint! The start was a little confusing, and I had to go back to that first book, to place each of the characters, and where they were now. But after that, I dove right in, and couldn’t put it down, reading it in one sitting.
This was predominantly about Andrea and Bruno. She is an assistant (who almost runs the show), at a matchmaking business. Some of her colleagues are her best friends, and she is very attracted to someone that works in the partnership matchmaking company.
There is a lot of to-and-fro’ing, laughter, frustration, grand gestures, failed attempts of intimacy, love, passion and steam! It’s a fun ride, and made for a really great story. The epilogue was great too, but I’m still wondering who this ‘love’ is… so I’m REALLY hoping there’s more to come, because I simply LOVE all of these characters!
I’m going to borrow the BDSM acronym – board game, discussion, star gazing and movie. Should be entertaining 😉 And I’m going to use the funny line: ‘Denial is not just a river in Egypt’. SO funny!

Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough left you wanting more twists and turns hot and steamy with emotions that makes you want more. Bruno and Andi crushed on each other at a party New Years Eve in Miami.

It was so fun watching these two learn how to be together. Chemistry was not quite enough, although the chemistry was excellent. Fun read.

Clever, witty, hilarious Rom Com with naughty moments
Andrea McBride the long-suffering Office Manager and PA to the owners of Monroe Matches which has now merged with another matchmaking enterprise, Knight2Remember. The matriarch of this little business, Carla Monroe has successfully matched her children, Pris and Finn and now has her eyes focused on Andrea. Andi suffers from an abundance of stress except when she’s with her “big brute of a teddy bear” aka Bruno. So why does she keep putting him off, down, pushing him away?!
Bruno was part of the “package” with the merger of the two matchmaking firms. He acts as the bouncer and/or bodyguard at Club Taboo. He’s angry with himself for following his boss’s orders which thereby kept Andrea from warning Pris about Rand (read THE NAUGHTY LIST) on one fateful night. Now Andrea wants nothing to do with him. Is that riiight?!
This was one hilarious and steamy story. Some of the scenes…Oh. My. Like Bruno throwing Andi in the water at the beach or how the whole Monroe clan gets in her business or when Topher appears through the top of the limo à la “Pretty Woman” or what happens on the beach after Topher’s mixer! This was another grand success for Carla. Now she can just wait for the grandbabies 😉
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Booksprout and it comes highly recommended for those who enjoy humor with their naughty. I give it 4.5 Stars.
Carla is at her matchmaking again. Andi is fiesty yet stubborn. She is unwilling to admit her attraction. Bruno has been mesmerized by a beautiful red head. The chemistry is iff the charts. M.C. Cerny has once again written a sexy and witty romance. I want more of these stories.
