Happy Release Day to Marrying the Matchmaker, the final book in Jody Hedlund’s A Shanahan Match series! My heart has been so full narrating this series and bringing Jody’s richly written characters to life.  Heartfelt thanks to Tantor Media for inviting me along on this beautiful journey.

In Marrying the Matchmaker, we follow Zaira, the middle Shanahan sibling who secretly dreams of becoming a published author.  When her publisher tells her that her romance novel lacks “depth of emotion,” Zaira decides she needs to do some research in the kissing department to experience romance for herself.  Who better to help her than her secret crush, the devastatingly handsome matchmaker, Bellamy McKenna?

Bellamy has always adored Zaira, though he’d never admit it.  He’s got his own secrets to guard, one of which is that he dreams of becoming an accomplished painter under his own name, not the pseudonym he’s hiding behind. 

When Bellamy needs intel on a difficult match, Zaira strikes a deal: the information he needs in exchange for a kiss. That kiss ends up being far from textbook, and sparks from their “kissing research” start the town tongues wagging. To protect the Shanahan family name, the two embark on a “fake” match to still the rumors.  

As Zaira and Bellamy navigate this pretend relationship, their real feelings take flight. But will they have the courage to let this match finally happen – and with it, give in to their hearts, both in love and career?

Marrying the Matchmaker is now available wherever you get your audiobooks – and with it, the complete A Shanahan Match series is ready to binge. 💘
