"Pure delight"
Though the Bliss, Montana annual matchmaking festival
is successfully over, The Hearts Club has one last request
to handle. Eight years old Georgianna Moore wants a new
daddy for her and her younger siblings. Precocious
Georgianna believes single rancher Gabe O'Connor with a
child of his own, is the perfect individual for the job. After success with finding A WIFE FOR OWEN CHASE and A
BRIDE FOR CALDER BROWN, the matchmakers set their sights on
pairing Gabe and Georgianna's mom, Maggie. However, this
time the Bliss sisters and associates have their work cut
out for them in spite of the assistance of the children of
their prime targets. For this duet, though clearly
attracted to each other, the past looms in the way of the
present and definitely the future. As with the previous two Montana Matchmakers' novels, A
MAN FOR MAGGIE MOORE is a very jocular tale. Gabe and
Maggie are a likable pair and the interfering geriatric
Heart's Club provides amusement and insight into the lead
couple. The return of the Chases and Browns add a
homecoming feel to the delightful plot. However, with all
the humor and romance, the tale is stolen by that
apprentice matchmaker Georgianna, whose story fifteen years
into the future should be the start of the Montana
Matchmakers, The Next Generation. Harriet Klausner
