I enjoyed the story and the characters. The real life aspect of people carrying past hurts and struggles into new relationships made this a very believable story. I like that Corbin’s financial status wasn’t what drew Mattie’s interest. They both had friends that were willing to be honest with them and give beneficial advice. A feel good read with a HEA is always a plus!

This is a lighthearted modern romance with the protagonists portrayed realistically. Valentina seems a bit to be too good to be true, but she serves her purpose and there is no denying that such persons may exist or do exist. It was fun to read and the storyline does have to “major” twists to it, just enough to keep the book from being boring.

This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between the characters, Corbin & Mattie, sizzled throughout this wonderful read.
Well done Gigi. I look forward to more!
The characters were outstanding. They have their own strengths as well as their own weeknesses. The story definitely had both a realistic vibe and some fantasy. After all, he is a billionaire!
A story of 2 people who have suffered loss and find each other with the help of an eccentric matchmaker. They learn to trust and love again but not without a few obstacles. A sweet clean romantic story with a guaranteed HEA.

I think I would have enjoyed this a little more if Mattie was not so indecisive. She left her fiance at the altar because she felt something was missing. She started a beautiful romance with Corbin, a widow who is looking for love after his wife passed away. It was a pretty good story but I did not care much of the characters.

I got this as an ARC reader, for my Honest review. This was as an Good Book. The ending was Good, also. Can’t wait to see what this author comes out with next. This was an Good book.
Mattie wants to be a writer, but she wants to get away from her wedding day even more. She decides to catch a ride with her friend to California and takes odd jobs cleaning to make due, until she finds her story.
A fairy-godmother of a matchmaker sees Mattie as she cleans a house and knows just the billionaire to set her up with.
However, love is never smooth. With ex-fiancés and gold diggers getting in the way, this is one Cinderella story with a twist!

Mattie and Corbin are the perfect couple they just don’t know it yet. This is one amazing ride from the first date to the last. I really enjoy the way Gigi put this story together. There was fun, mystery, and a little suspense. I enjoyed reading this book so much. I highly recommend it.
This book starts with a premise that I have a hard time believing, Mattie loves to clean. Unfortunately, that doesn’t compute in my world, but I’m glad there are those that do. I would love to meet Valentina and challenge her matchmaking skills. Mattie and Corbin both have past relationships that affect their current lives. I enjoyed watching them unravel the threads that tie them to the old.
Both characters have past relationships that make it hard for them to date. Luckily, there is a matchmaker who is able to see their potential and what they have in common to build on. Regrets and only remembering the good things from previous relationships makes for some twists and turns in their budding romance. Will Mattie and Corbin stick it out to see if they can find their happy ending?

Ms. Marlowe never fails to deliver and delight with her sweet and clean romances, and this latest release is no exception. Corbin and Mattie were a well-matched and likable couple that I rooted for throughout the book, and I thoroughly enjoyed being along for the ride with them up until the satisfying ending. I will continue to look forward to reading more books written by Ms. Marlowe as they come available.

A runaway bride and a billionaire widower burying himself in his work. The two may have never met, if not for Mattie and her love for Broadway musicals. This is a clean, sweet romance, of the old fashioned kind. You can always count on Ms. Marlowe to bring you endearing characters and a story line that has love, romance and naturally, some form of complication that must be overcome. I have read several of her books and always enjoy them, this time was no different. I highly recommend this book

I loved Mattie and Corbin’s story. This book has a great storyline. If you love clean contemporary romance, you will love this book. I love this author; she writes really good books. I wish this one had a longer epilogue–like a year later.

Mattie walked aware from her wedding to Barry when she realized that she just couldn’t do it. Corbin’s wife passed away, and he’s been miserable. Valentina is the matchmaker to the stars, and they both agree to let he fix them up. There’s a noticeable age difference, but it really doesn’t seem to matter because they have to much else in common. Their relationship is progressing nicely, when Barry calls Mattie to tell her that he misses her. It takes her a while, a lot of soul-searching, and a discussion with her friend Rose, to decide what she really wants in her love life. This is a really sweet book, with two characters who quite obviously belong together. It was an enjoyable afternoon’s read, exactly the type of book I know I’ll get every time from this author.

Ms. Marlow had done it again. A sweet, clean romance where Mattie & Corbin find love for a second time. There is a kink in their relationship near the end they have to overcome. Always feel good after reading Ms. Marlow’s books. They have an HEA ending.

The Handmaid’s Billionaire was so much fun to read. It was a great Saturday afternoon escape! I loved the idea of setting up two people based on their mutual love of music. Mattie and Corbin are both enjoyable characters. Ms. Marlowe has written another great romance with personable characters. I cannot wait to see more of Valentina Del Torre! If you like clean romance, do not miss this book!

They have a lot in common. When matchmaker to the rich and famous finds Mattie singing while cleaning a friends vacation rental, she knows she has a perfect match for her. Corbin lost his wife to cancer and is not sure he is ready to get back in the dating game. They both have reasons to take it slow. Enjoyed the story, moved quickly. Wonderful clean romance.
