The Matchmaker is back … A WAGER WITH THE MATCHMAKER is here! 💘

Posted on by

Book 3 is now out!  I absolutely loved narrating A Wager with the Matchmaker — the third installment in A Shanahan Match Series, written by the always incredible Jody Hedlund.  

One of the things I admire so much about the way Jody writes is how layered, vibrant, and full of life her characters are. There’s always humor, heart, and emotional depth. This story has it all: danger, suspense, impossible odds, romance, and those moments that just make you smile … or hold your breath.

Alannah Darragh is on the run, hiding from a ruthless gang leader who wants her as payment for her brother’s debt.  Kiernan Shanahan, her brother’s employer — and St. Louis’s most eligible bachelor — steps in to protect her.  As danger closes in and their connection deepens, the two must confront their undeniable chemistry and the bond growing between them  … even though their worlds couldn’t be more different.   

Enter the matchmaker.  Bellamy McKenna doesn’t play by the rules — and when he makes a wager, all bets are off.  💘

Matchmaker Magic: Love Returns in Book 2!

saved-by-the-matchmaker-WPfeature-300x224_aLooking for your perfect match? 💘 Happy Release Day to Saved by the Matchmaker, the latest in A Shanahan Match series, written by bestselling author Jody Hedlund! I loved every minute of narrating Book 2.

In Saved by The Matchmaker, we catch up with Finola’s younger sister, Enya. Enya’s troubled marriage with Bryan Haynes has ended, leaving her heart shattered, her body pregnant, and her future uncertain.

But don’t worry—our favorite never-by-the-books Matchmaker, Bellamy McKenna, is back and ready to work his magic. This time, he’s setting his sights on steamboat captain Sullivan O’Brien, who’s under pressure from his father to marry or give up his life on the water.

Sullivan is gruff, scarred from a heroic rescue, and the last thing he wants is to get married. His one condition for Bellamy? Find him a bride who’s unattractive, quiet, and indifferent to appearances. But Enya is anything but that—she’s beautiful, outspoken, and a self-proclaimed spitfire. 🔥

It seems like an impossible match, but that’s what Matchmakers are for, right? Bellamy suspects that what Enya really needs is someone who will treasure her for who she is, and he has a feeling Sullivan might just be the man for the job…

Congratulations to Jody Hedlund on your stirring new release, and thank you to Tantor Media for bringing this heartwarming gem my way! 💖

Ever played matchmaker or found yourself at the receiving end of a friend’s matchmaking efforts? 🌟

So happy to celebrate the audiobook and print release of Calling on the Matchmaker (A Shanahan Match, Book 1) written by the extraordinary Jody Hedlund – this is a match, you won’t want to miss!

Embarking on a journey to 1849 St. Louis, Missouri was an absolute blast! One of the many joys of narrating Hedlund’s historical fictions is the way her rich characters—with heart, soul, humor, and an irresistible will— keep me hooked. In Calling on the Matchmaker, the added fun was diving into the Irish community and wondering what the ever-charming, usually mischievous matchmaker Bellamy McKenna would be up to next!

Bringing this lively cast to audio was an honor and so much fun! 🎧📚

Thank you Tantor Media for sending this gem my way, and congratulations to Jody Hedlund on your new release! ✨

Calling on the Matchmaker is available now on Audible and at Amazon.com.
