I really enjoyed the storyline of this story and found this to be an incredibly fun read with two main characters I found perfect for each other. they were enjoyable characters that I really liked reading about. I enjoyed this story from start to finish.

It took me awhile to get to this book but when I finally did it was a pleasant surprise. Kate Henderson is a widow but most important a mother of two boys. Now trying to past her grief she wants to make her sons life better since they are without their father. She also knows that the doctor she works for retired and so she will have to get used to a new one. This becomes sooner than later when she needs to take one of her son’s to the hospital. There the forty year old mother comes in contact with her new employer, a 30 year old Doggie Howie doctor Jake Harris. Surprised not only by his appearance and also having a lollipop in his mouth. She also finds him attractive, but does not want too. Matters become more complicated when he is there new neighbor and her two boys especially the youngest take a liking to him. Her sons plan little things to put the two of them together and their plan works up until the boys come home after spending a few weeks with their grandparents. Finding that their mother and Jake are not together. Her son also lets her know that he hears her crying again which she never knew and then she realizes that she must follow her heart, not just for her boys but mostly for her. What if Jake won’t take her back? Come on and read this fun story and see what happens.

Excellent book. I love reading Jake and Kate story. The boys, Alex and Drew are hilarious. I enjoy this book from the beginning to end.

Crazy Little Thing Called Matchmaking is a delightful, well written May-December romance. I really enjoyed reading it.
Kate is an almost 40 year old nurse whose boss has recently retired. In his place is a young doctor who is not only younger than Kate but looks even younger than he actually is. Kate is a widow with two teen-aged sons. Alex and Drew are delightful, boys that any mother would be proud of. They think first of their mother and her happiness, so when they meet her new boss they immediately begin plotting for the two of them to fall in love and live happily ever after. Of course, even loving sons can’t force two people to fall in love but these guys are young and hopeful and they are tired of hearing their lonely mother cry herself to sleep. When Dr. Jake moves in next door it seems their wishes may be coming true.
Jake is an almost 30 year old pediatrician who absolutely adores children. He carries a couple of sad burdens concerning his own family and any future family he might have. Jake is attracted to Kate before she notices him in a date-worthy way, and then it becomes his responsibility to make her see him as someone other than Kate’s boss or a Doogie Howser kid doctor.
Kate thinks her sons will not welcome someone to “replace” their father in their mother’s life. She couldn’t be more wrong. When the boys go on vacation with their grandparents Kate and Jake have an opportunity to begin a relationship, but things go awry when the boys return, much to their disappointment. Both boys’ hearts are broken when Jake stops coming around to see them, let alone to see their mother.
The story does have an HEA, but it is hard won. I loved the way the romance turned out even with all the stumbles along the way. A delightful story.

This was an ok read, I did enjoy the writing but found myself daydreaming at some of the parts. It's a story of a almost 40 widow with two boys and an almost 30 something doctor! It flowed good a little steamy but as I said it was a little drawn out in parts.it was a good read and I think a lot of people will enjoy it but it wasn't one of my favorite! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

For this book, the concept is turn about should be fair play... Men are interested in younger women all of the time...so when the woman is older then the guy... why must she feel guilty and it will always end badly...
We have a nurse, a new dr. and then the nurse's teen sons. The sons have no problem with their mom finding love and once these things start rolling = second chance in love tale.

This was a really fun story about a dr and his nurse. She is older than him, way older, in her 40's and he is in his 30's and she has two kids. It is well written and a really sweet and fun romance. I loved how her two sons get involved in the story and at times we get to hear the older sons voice in the story.

Nurse Kate, widow with two teenage boys, falls for her much younger boss, the new pediatrician in town. And vice versa. Of course this can not end well in a small town where she grew up, thus they both hang on to seemingly good reasons not to hook up despite the matchmaking the boys try their hands in.

The story telling was cute and emotional, the protagonists had some good banter, and the teenage boys were, refreshingly, not annoying. Thus I enjoyed the novel until the last quarter, when they go off and on and wail in regret and guilt. That’s where one rating star was lost, but it was still a nice read.

Narrative: 3rd person POV changing between Kate, Devon, and the guy who looks down and listens to everything ;)
Sexual content: not very descriptive, but still more than “doors closed”, but only once.
Swear language: I would not remember, I think it was pretty clean
Location: contemporary small tourist town on Long Island, NY

Heartwarming thoughtful story

Maggie Van Well did a good job building to Kate and Jake's HEA. The main characters and their concerns which made it a bumpy road were very realistic. She also successfully handled the sensitive subject of grief and healing very well. The secondary characters added a lot to the storyline, especially Kate's sons Alex and Drew.
I received an advance reader copy from Netgalley.

Kate Henderson is a forty year old widow with two teenage sons. She works as a pediatric nurse for the new Dr. in town, Jake Harris. Jake is taken with Kate when they first meet in the emergency room while stitching her son Drew’s leg up. Jake is a very sweet, perfect guy. Kate is a neurotic mess. The premise of this book is sweet, second chance love and older woman/younger man with two cute matchmaking sons. I almost stopped reading this several times, because Kate’s treatment of Jake was so annoying. First she treats him like she was one of her kid, not a man. Once they start seeing each other, she goes into the relationship assuming it will fail because he will leave her. Cute book, perhaps the book in the series will have a less annoying protagonist. I wa provided an ARC by NetGalley for my honest review.
