Overall good book... Though the beginning of the book was a little slow to get the ball rolling on the story it was a good book....

must read. I like this book and wanted to read more and more. Total fan.

Thank you NetGalley for this book and the publisher.

So much chemistry! And that is at the heart of the book, is chemistry enough and just lust or can it lead to something more. Jane and Charlie have known each other forever, finally gave into temptation and then it went horrible wrong. Now Jane has to match Charlie (the most eligible bachelor in NY) or risk losing her matchmaking company. These two are just so perfect for each other, I love them and finished the book in one sitting.

Charlie is a way, way better person than me, because if Jane who supposedly was a friend for over 20 years just up and leaves without so much as a word but a napkin and just shows up and thinks everything is ok and now needs me, nope sistah that is not how it works. Jane is too ridiculous, flirting! flirting! c'mon, really, really, this was just too stupid for words to me, it messed it up at that point. I could have liked it, but it annoyed me by then.

This book starts with a bang and keeps that momentum the whole way through! You have no idea how refreshing that was to read in a book right now!!

This is told 3rd person dual POV and it was PERFECT. In fact, this book has me wondering if dual POV should always be 3rd as opposed to 1st. You didn't need to be fully in either's heads. The little bit of distance gave it that tension that you sometimes lose in a dual POV. Brava!

Jane and Charlie's chemistry is unmatched. Their banter is wonderful and smooth. Their characters were well rounded and interesting. I loved the arc that Charlie took. It wasn't too predictable, and I liked that. The plot was so cute. It was so original and cute and I loved that Charlie decided he was going to teach Jane a lesson.

I really disliked Jane's reason for leaving the napkin breakup, and I wish that had been a better reason. I wish the epilogue had been different. It was cute, but it wasn't...satisfying as the ending.

Despite those complaints, the book overall was great and satisfying. I'll be rereading it again for sure!

**This book was originally published in 2015, and I was surprised to see it on Netgalley.

This was the first book by this author that I've read and I loved it. I'll definitely read more from Maggie, her writing style is so unique and I loved the overall plot of this story. Way to go, Maggie!

OMG this book is amazing! I couldn’t put it down.
Jane Wright owns a matchmaker company and in a moment of heat with a competitor, she makes a very public bet that she can find the “perfect” match for Manhattan's hottest confirmed bachelor, Charlie Goodman. Unfortunately, Charlie is also Jane's ex-lover, a man she broke up with on a cocktail napkin. With her company on the line, Jane has no choice but to convince the man of her most impractical dreams to dive back into the dating pool. But Charlie is determined to prove to Jane that chemistry always beats compatibility algorithms, and that he is the only one for her.
These too!! I absolutely loved the way they are with each other. They have been friends all their lives, and after a six day’s romance in the Caribbean, Jane dumps him without an explanation. Now she is asking for his help but all he wants to do is get her back. The chemistry is off the chart. I started it today and couldn´t stop reading till the end. Sooo good. I enjoyed both characters a lot. They have trust issues and family traumas, but they just can´t stay away from each other. They are just too perfect together. The side characters are amazing too. I’m so happy their stories are already out!!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Janey and Charlie have been friends for awhile as Charlie is friends with her brother and in turn friends with Janey. After a 6 day togetherness with each other and taking things up another notch. After a miscommunication and not discussing things Janey leaves which upsets Charlie. I enjoyed this debut novel and how each finally decided to come together. I would give this author another try for sure.

I received this ARC through #netgalley and I am voluntarily reviewing this book

Jane and Charlie were once friends but one heated weekend lead to cold feet. 6 months later Jane needs Charlie’s help but Charlie just wants Jane.

This second chance, hate to love romance was an enjoyable read! I loved to see both grow and learn through their mistakes.

What can I say about Breaking the Bachelor by Maggie Kelley? It was exactly what I hoped it would be. I was hooked from the first page and read it in less than a day.

I’ll admit the book wasn’t perfect. Honestly, I’ve come across only a dozen or so perfect romance books out of over the 500 that I’ve read. So why am I giving it top stars? Because the book never tried to be anything that it wasn’t. It was a romcom that didn’t sneak in erotic aspects. It didn’t have a need for trigger warnings that were left out nor was it overly dramatic and heartbreaking. It was fun and palette-cleansing. Sure, it had dramatic moments and hurt feelings, but it wasn’t over the top.

The writing was well-done and I could really see the passion and interest between Jane and Charlie. I was rooting for them from the start. I would’ve liked for there to have been a better reason behind the mixup that caused the whole mess to begin with, but I’m not mad about it. I really enjoyed the side characters a lot and I can’t wait to read their stories—though I do wish we got a resolution between Nick and Charlie in this book. Hopefully, we see something in the next one, which I will be reading!!!

I received a copy of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A fun and sexy sweet read. The characters are charming. The concept is great. The romance is both steamy and slow burn. I wanted to pull my hair out reading these two fumble their way through. It was a good kind of frustrating with an ending that made me smile.

This was such a fun book that I read it in under 5 hours. Janey is the owner of a dating agency who receives a challenge from her competitor to find a match for her ex, Charlie, a self-proclaimed bachelor. Charlie also happens to be her childhood best friend an the love of her life.

I loved the banter and chemistry between Janey and Charlie. However, I felt like the characters worked through their individual issues too quickly to be believable. I still enjoyed the HEA ending and would recommend this book if you're after a quick, fun, sweet romance!
