.. what can I say?

I never read out of my genre. I never read shorts. I hate stories that end just about the time I get into them.

So, why did I hit the "buy" button as soon as I got to the end of the sample?

I fell in love.

Yeah. Sappy, but true.

Mick's adorable. A little dense but brilliant. She has a collection of friends that I envied and, secretly, I hoped she'd pick me as her match.

Ok, it's fiction, right? You're allowed to make up stories in fiction and this one sucked me in -- hook, line, and guppy tank.

Clean story telling. Crisp dialog. Lovely character sketching. Interesting ideas on relationships and a perfectly executed romance with a twist at the end that tied it all up in a big red bow with hearts on it.

What? I'm a guy so I can't be a romantic?

Puh-lease.

Thanks, Debora. Great read.

Matchmakers 20 A Novel Nibbles title edition by Debora Geary Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I just blasted through two "nibbles" and it just cements how much I love Geary. So far I've read twelve books and four novellas. There's another Witch Central book coming out as a Christmas present to all of us. She writes about people you can believe in, trust, care about and ultimately want to know better. This book isn't in any way related to her witchy universe so I should have been bored by it. It doesn't have a whole lot of plot, no real tension beyond the totally realistic view of creative people vs. HR & Marketing. It's just a look at Mick and three friends. Derrick and Miri are her coworkers. Together they handle the clients who aren't successfully matched by the computer. Mick and Miri are the ones who look outside the box when looking for matches. Derrick is the computer nerd who watches what they do and tries to tweek the algorithms to make the computer better at matches. Miri mostly relies on astrology. Mick uses her PhD thesis on the mating habits of guppies... Then there's Jazie, Mick's best friend since forever, a local midwife and in a long term relationship.

With only 70 virtual pages there isn't really time to set up a lot of tension but there's plenty of time to build in humor. Mick going on her first date with a match the computer picked out is priceless. The book's over way too soon. I'd love to see some books that cover what comes next with each of these characters, even though I hate to suggest that Geary could take time off from writing about witches. Maybe she could just clone herself and chain one clone to a computer? Or maybe the clone should take over family and fun and we'll just chain Geary to the PC ( or Mac, what do I know?)

It's $.99 for a couple of hours of reading pleasure that you'll be able to go back to when your spirits need a lift. Compare that to the cost of going to a movie or out to dinner and this is a real entertainment bargain.
This is the first in the promised series of "Novel Nibbles" by Debora Geary. It will take you an hour or two to read it - I guess it males it a novella, technically.

Genre-wise, this is your typical unpretentious humorous romance, only perfectly executed. We follow romantic troubles and their resolution of a central character, with two or three secondary ones (a best friend, two colleagues, and, eventually, a love interest, obviously), a bit of slightly unconventional office politics, and little more. The plot is mostly linear and follows what can be expected of the genre canon - no many surprises, but still plenty of original execution, and the setting is pretty unusual. In less than 1000 locations there is no room for some great character development, just an occasional quick sketch, and we will see at least one usual stereotype (a computer geek), but even he gets to move a bit outside of the "standard" confines.

This work will not cause belly laughs, but smiles and chuckles are plentiful. The language is unpretentious but clear and expressive - a joy to read.

I did not catch a single occasion where I would yell "Editor!", whether because of a plot hole, ungainly formulation, mere spelling error or formatting technicality. Indeed, even the usual cause of my harping - chapter marks - are there! This is really done professionally.

So, the rating? Well, I reserve five stars for works that keep me thinking for days, and to which I return over and over. "Matchmakers 2.0" does not attempt to fall into this category. OTOH, works that show some promise but require *lots* of polishing get three stars. (I wish rating resolution were finer.) So, here you have it a rather glowing four-star review.

In the interest of full disclosure, I got this work from Debora for free, during her first week giveaway. I promise this has not influenced my opinion, other than pushing it towards the top of my TBR pile and prompting me to actually write the review.
