Wasn't too sure about a story of an arranged marriage especially after the fiasco of Married at First Sight. However as a blogger I was lucky enough to receive an Arc of this story by the fairytale Queen, Katy Regnery. Courtney has officially had it with dating and just wants to skip that part and get the whole marriage, kids and white picket fence. Her friend Josh who really likes her and although not at that stage of wanting to commit wants a chance with her, so they go on a few dates. Courtney is just enjoying the time while she waits for her arranged marriage. Josh, is a struggling playwright who just feels a little undeserving of Courtney but finds him self falling hard for her. Courtney too starts to develop feelings for Josh as well but she only has a few weeks until her Match and just wants to avoid the whole dating thing. She ends up in London for work and it's not long till her life takes an unexpected turn. However, nothing goes to plan and soon they both have to take the leap of faith to both get their HEA they want.
Be warned this is a Duo and as book 2 comes out in May there is a little bit of a cliff hanger. Although, I'm not a huge fan of cliff hangers this one is definitely needed so we can see how Josh and Courtney are going to tackle life in the real world.

My name is Courtney Jane Salinger...
and I'm sick of games.
and I'm sick of games.
Sick of the Friday night bar-scene-cum-meat-market.
Sick of the boy-girl, man-woman, mars-venus, flirtation-without-expectation, game-playing nonsense.
Sick of awful dates and one-night stands, booty calls and guys who don’t call back, mixed messages or NO messages and—and—and...I'm sick of all of it.
I’m done.
I just can't do it anymore.
It's too hard, and worse: little by little, it's making me hard.
It's breaking my heart.

It's too hard, and worse: little by little, it's making me hard.
It's breaking my heart.
What do I want?
That's easy.
That's easy.
I want a house in suburbia with a white picket fence.
I want babies to buckle into a minivan.
But most of all, I want to be married.
I want a husband.
I want babies to buckle into a minivan.
But most of all, I want to be married.
I want a husband.
So I've made an important decision: I'm making my escape from the dating world and the single life.
I've filled out my application on ArrangeMe.com and I'm putting my fate into the hands of experts.

Is it a little scary?
Sure.
I mean, I have no idea who I'll end up with.
After all, I'm planning to marry a complete stranger.

After all, I'm planning to marry a complete stranger.
But between you and me?
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
Being arranged can't possibly be worse than being single.
Can it?
Can it?
