That’s why his sister has asked me to help her ridiculously good-looking, insanely rich, but socially clueless brother find a woman. As a broker of happily ever afters, I’m known as the Stud Finder since I make a great living pairing wildly successful women with men who won’t fleece them but will adore them. After all, what woman in her right mind wouldn’t fall in love with Dylan?

I mean, besides me. It totally won’t be me.

Excerpt:
I’ve known Dylan for the last year or so. He’s our first baseman, and a Scrabble teammate in a monthly competition hosted by some friends, not to mention the winner of the Punniest Costume from Olivia’s most recent Halloween party, put on by her friend Henley at the Battery Park penthouse she shares with her husband, Max. Sporting a blue shirt, Dylan had draped a phone cord around his neck and hung a rubber chicken from it for Chicken Cord on Blue.

How have I never noticed his ass before? Maybe I was looking at the chicken. Although, in all fairness, I think I checked out his behind on the field in Central Park when he whacked a grand slam earlier this summer.

I wave. “Hi, Dylan!”

He stops a foot away from me. “Hey, Evie, person who’s not holding a cell phone like everyone else in the city. How do you function?”

I laugh. “I know. I’m a throwback.”

“And it’s not even TT. Throwback Thursday,” he says, quickly explaining. “You’re old-school interacting with the RW.” He pauses, peering at me through his brown eyeglasses. “That’s real world.”

“I figured as much.”

He laughs awkwardly. “Sorry. I get caught up.” He steps closer and offers a hand to shake. He stops. Shakes his head. “Wait. That’s weird. We can hug, right?”

A smile crosses my lips. “We can definitely hug IRL.”

He laughs again, and this time it’s not awkward.

As he wraps his arms around me, he says, “I was debating a cheek kiss, but that seemed old-fashioned. Same as a kiss on the hand. By the way, did my sister tell you she thinks I’m socially clueless?”

I don’t answer him right away, because his arms are so sturdy, stronger than I’d expected, and I’d nearly forgotten how tall he was—I’m guessing six foot one. And he smells so good, like deodorant, which is actually quite a nice scent on a man since it means he’s showered, and he’s clean.

I’m a big fan of clean.

My Review:
I love reading romantic comedies and for me Lauren Blakely is one of the best authors out there who can make you really belly laugh :) And Stud Finder doesn't disappoint in that department. Or any other for that matter. This is a funny somewhat short story with a romantic flavour and entertaining dialog. And it is the perfect read for the weekend :)

Though, this is not the conventional "boy meets girl" story, the plot line is simply ingenious. I mean, come on, the matchmaker being outsmarted and matched by her best friends is simply hilarious :D And it doesn't hurt that the the chosen hero is an extremely sexy, slightly nerdy, delicious specimen, who might not know all the ins and outs of dating, but definitely knows how to make you laugh and treat you to an amazing date. From going out for some delicious spicy nachos to fine dining at fancy restaurants :)

So if you are in the mood for some laughing, a charming and delicious hero and a smart and funny heroine, then you should definitely check Stud Finder by the amazing Lauren Blakely. I am sure you won't regret it. Especially if you are a fan of the Big Rock series, as you will get to revisit with some of them :) As for me, I can't wait to get my hands on Mia and Patrick's story. I just know it is going to be incredible ;)
