Love, Austen Paperback

A matchmaker who can’t commit, a jaded divorce lawyer, and a mutually beneficial business agreement. Matchmaker Meg Austen is focused on one thing—finding the financial backing to create the app for her company, Love, Austen. When the investment firm tells her she needs a boyfriend to prove her faith in her matchmaking process, she fears her dreams might never become a reality. Sure, she can match up other people, but love for herself. She's not interested. Parker Matthews is determined to get the partnership left vacant by his father’s death. But when a colleague suggests having a girlfriend will increase his chances to get the partnership, he panics--he's cut women out of his life completely after his last relationship and wouldn't even know who to ask. As they spend real time together, their fake feelings change. But when their fears about commitment resurface, can they find a way to work past them? Or will Meg and Parker have to find another way to get what they want while mending their broken hearts? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A delightful, fake romance story. Meg Austin needs investors. They want to see that her product works for her. At the wedding of mutual friends, she meets Parker Matthews, a divorce attorney. He's seeking a partnership with his father's former law firm. The current partners want their new partner to be in a stable relationship. Hence they decide to support each other's goals. Miscommunication, insecurities, and past romantic baggage play substantial roles in the story. There is a wonderful ending.  ~Amazon Reviewer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This story was entertaining and thought provoking. I was delighted by this unique take on Emma. Though not initially apparent, the parallels of Meg and Emma, two women who have suffered the tragic loss of a parent and the mental breakdown of the surviving parent are striking. Of course matchmaking Meg was Emma, and of course Austen’s heroine likely used her single status while trying to aid others as a way to control her world. ~ Amazon Reviewer TROPES: ❤️ Fake relationship ❤️ Office romance
