How to meet and marry a man in Seattle
There are all the usual ways, of course, but here’s how Janine Hartman and Meg Remington did it.
Janine: my grandfather Hartman arranged a husband for me! Zach Thomas, the intended groom, was just as outraged as I was. But gramps insisted we’d be “a perfect match.” First comes marriage, according to him.
Meg: my teenage daughter, Lindsey, had the nerve to place a personal ad on my behalf—Wanted: Perfect Partner. Worse, Steve Conlan, who answered the ad, was perfect, according to her.
Does Grandfather know best? Did a teenage matchmaker get it right? You decide!
“Debbie Macomber writes characters who are as warm and funny and real as your best friends.” —New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs

"I loved these 2 stories. They were short, light and clever. I laughed out loud several times. The romances were both unconventional and predictable but I found it to be comforting. Very clean both language and intimacy. I thought it was just right! I want to read more of her books. "
— Susan (4 out of 5 stars)
Married in Seattle Listener Reviews

" cute stories very unbelievable but sometimes it is fun to just suspend reality and enjoy a good love story! "
— Sabrina, 2/14/2014 -
" One Macomber is more than enough. It was too predictable by page two I had the plot figured out. "
— Terry, 2/14/2014 -
" I think I read these books when they were stand alone books, but since I can't seem to put a book down once I've started it, I finished them again. They are fun, lighthearted books. "
— Jennifer, 2/10/2014 -
" fun read from a favorite author. Always a happy ending. "
— Dana, 2/8/2014 -
" Cute and easy romanitic fluff! :) "
— Amber, 1/30/2014 -
" First Comes Marriage, first published in 1991, is not up to Debbie Macomber's later books. I found Janine and her Grandfather irritating and Zachary kind of uninteresting and didn't go for the plot, but it was popular at that time, I guess. The second book in this edition, Wanted: Perfect Partner was a bit more fun and Meg and Steve as victims of their young family members were kind of charming. I wouldn't go out of my way to read these. "

" I LOVE Debbie Macomber and usually can't put one of her books down. Not the case with this one. I had to keep pushing myself to finish it. It isn't a terrible read, just a predictable one ... no spark! "
— Annette, 9/24/2013 -
" It's a good to the heart romance. She always makes me feel good. The first story was a little unbelievable but the 2nd one was cute. A couple of teenagers help their older sibling and mom find love using internet dating. "
— Cindy, 9/12/2013 -
" Fun, light. "
— Margaret, 9/10/2013 -
