The Irish Matchmaker by Jennifer DeibelMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
The Irish Matchmaker was an easy flowing, sweet story which had me turning pages as fast as I can manage reading.
I adored Sarah, her faith and trust reminded me which God said we need to have faith like children. They don’t question or overthink, but just believe that God will do what He says.
Donal and Catriona were characters to easily love and stand behind. I liked how Donal, just by being him, silently won Catriona over. There was one character I did not like and would have liked more “justice” for the way he treated people but did appreciate how he was put in his place at the end.
The writer makes it easy for readers to feel like you are in Ireland along with the characters, with the way she describes locations and culture.
I loved the two main themes in this story: Men can make plans, but ultimately God’s will and plan for your life will come to fruitions. God will provide as sure as there He provides foods for the birds and clothes for the flowers in the fields, but how our own pride can sometimes stands in the way.
Recommended for fans of historical romance.
