In the second novel in The Silver Teapot series Carolyn asks the question, can the matchmaker find true love, continuing her contemporary riffs of Jane Austen’s classic novels. This time she takes inspiration from Emma, a story about matchmaking and mishaps. While this is a second novel in the series it can be enjoyed as a standalone story.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Emma-Jane (EJ) Bennett and Jordan Knight are longtime best friends who codesigned the immensely successful dating app, Dream Match. Success starts to go to EJ’s head when she gets caught up in the famous and money-hungry social circles and starts dating the son of a TV mogul. But Jordan’s feelings have grown from friendship to more. He determines to protect her by exposing Eric Churchill for the two-timer he is, finally agreeing to attend a function with her at the Sydney Opera House. But his best intentions go awry when EJ is embarrassed and runs for the security of home, small-town roots, and The Silver Teapot Café, feeling like Jane Austen’s chastised Emma—only without her Mr. Knightley.
