by Cynthia Timoti
Pub Date: May 12 2026
Great storyline, good pace, and relatable problems. 3.5 stars. FMC Kimiko is looking for a guy to date to inherit her late grandmother's yarn store. She was raised by her grandparents and loves them very much. They gave her a wonderful childhood. It is important to Kim to keep her grandmother's legacy. Her Grandfather is a wonderful man who is kind and loving. Kim has been abandoned and betrayed by people, and she doesn't believe in happy endings. Kim is encouraged by friends to try apps for dating. The dates she had were pretty over-the-top bad. Almost unbelievable. Granted, I have no experience. Kim can be a bit annoying but no one is perfect.
The dates are so bad that Rob, a friend who does believe in soul mates and happy endings, decides to help her. I am not sure of the history between the two. It is mentioned that they had a date, and Rob never showed up. Nothing else was mentioned after that. Rob is just an all-around good guy. Or maybe the bar is in hell because, honestly, he's just kind and thoughtful.
All in all this was a fun read.
Description
It’s 27 Dresses meets Sonya Lalli’s The Matchmaker’s List in this delightful romcom where she doesn’t believe in love…he’s determined to prove her wrong -- by being her matchmaker!
Kimiko Halim thinks happy endings only exist in fairy tales. But her late grandmother’s will specifies settling down as a condition to inherit her yarn store, and the family’s legacy is the only thing that matters. Kim’s plan is simple: find a guy, date him until the store is hers, then gently uncouple from the poor, unsuspecting victim.
But the clock is ticking, and her dates have been more frogs than princes. When Rob Carmichael, a perpetual groomsman and self-proclaimed proponent of happily-ever-afters, overhears Kim’s cynical view of love, he’s baffled. Having been surrounded by happy relationships all his life, Rob convinces her that he can find her a soulmate in one of the next five weddings he’s going to.
