You met quarterback Kevin Tucker in This Heart of Mine. Now get ready to meet his shark of an agent, Heath Champion, and Annabelle Granger, the girl least likely to succeed.
Annabelle's endured dead-end jobs, a broken engagement . . . even her hair's a mess! But that's going to change now that she's taken over her late grandmother's matchmaking business. All Annabelle has to do is land the Windy City's hottest bachelor as her client, and she'll be the most sought-after matchmaker in town.
Why does the wealthy, driven, and gorgeous sports agent Heath Champion need a matchmaker, especially a red-haired screw-up like Annabelle Granger? True, she's entertaining, and she does have a certain quirky appeal. But Heath is searching for the ultimate symbol of success — the perfect wife. And to make an extraordinary match, he needs an extraordinary matchmaker, right?
Soon everyone in Chicago has a stake in the outcome, and a very big question: When the determined matchmaker promised she'd do anything to keep her star client happy . . . did she mean anything? If Annabelle isn't careful, she just might find herself going heart-to-heart with the toughest negotiator in town.

      Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match! Annabelle Granger, a loser in a family of winners, inherits her grandmother's matchmaking business and sets out to capture the richest, most successful sports agent in Chicago for a client. As a crowning achievement, he wants the perfect wife. Could the quirky Annabelle be the answer to her client's quest? This unabashedly schmaltzy soap features the chaotic, angst-filled romance between the professional matchmaker and her most illusive client. However, this fast, funny production, with its appealing heroine, is flawed by Anna Fields's forced, unconvincing male voices and an over-the-top climax that tries to push too many erotic buttons.

      Phillips's latest captivating romance (Ain't She Sweet
      ; Breathing Room
      ) follows a pair of reluctant lovers from their combative first acquaintance to a happily ever after. Perpetually discombobulated but adorable Annabelle Granger inherits her grandmother's matchmaking business, renames it Perfect for You and targets Chicago's super-rich, super-aggressive sports agent Heath Champion, better known as the Python, as her first client. Intrigued by this spunky, determined upstart, Heath—who is dead set on finding the ultimate trophy wife by age 35—agrees to give Annabelle a chance despite his contract with Portia Powers of Power Match. Soon Annabelle is introducing him to the Windy City's most extraordinary women, none of whom seem to meet Heath's discriminating standards. Could it be because chemistry has sparked between the matchmaker and her client? From trading barbs the two progress to exchanging kisses—and more. But when Heath finally meets his should-be dream girl and Annabelle's business threatens to go bellyup, they each must face their deepest feelings and make some difficult decisions in the name of love. Phillips has once again created a delightful page-turner. Agent, Steven Axelrod.

      Annabelle Granger is determined to make a go of her late grandmother's matchmaking service. When she lands crack sports agent Heath Champion as a client and then learns that she is in competition with another agency to find him a bride, the battle is on and may the best woman win. Although Annabelle and Heath's relationship is prime, a second love story will intrigue readers with its unexpectedness and sheer improbability, and Phillips pulls it off beautifully. Including characters from the author's earlier football stories adds to the charm of this totally enjoyable romance. Phillips lives in the Chicago area. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 4/15/05.]

      Starred review from May 15, 2005
      Annabelle Granger has no idea why rich, gorgeous, and successful sports agent Heath Champion needs a matchmaker, but she is more than happy to take the job. Annabelle, who recently inherited her beloved Nana's matchmaking business, sees Heath as the key to her economic future, so she uses a connection with a friend to set up a meeting. It only takes a few minutes with bold, brash, and work-obsessed Heath for Annabelle to understand exactly why her new client might have had trouble finding the woman of his dreams. With a wicked wit and saucy charm, RITA Award-winning and best-selling Phillips fashions a deliciously fun romance between a testosterone-rich, irresistibly sexy hero and a sweetly endearing, yet feisty-to-the-core heroine who proves to be more than his match. A secondary romance between rival matchmaker Portia Powers and Heath's business associate, Bodie Gray, adds another measure of sexy humor, and readers familiar with the Chicago Stars series will especially enjoy the appearances of characters from those books in Phillips' latest dazzling contemporary romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
