The only person harder to match than her clients . . . is the matchmaker herself.
The Matcha Maker Café is a sweet, small-town slow-burn romance set in a charming matcha cafe, perfect for readers who love Laurie Gilmore, B.K. Borison and the gentle magic of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
At Matcha Moments, owner Sasha Lee is a star matchmaker, helping customers find love over a smooth cup of matcha. You’d think that as the master she’d be living her fairytale ending, but Sasha is allergic to commitment.
With a growing reputation, her successes are challenged when the ‘unmatchable’ Ben walks in - a man who believes he’s too boring for love. As Sasha tries to match him, she slowly finds herself drawn to his quiet charm.
As their daily banter becomes the highlight of her day, Sasha must confront the possibility that her own love story might be brewing. Will she embrace the unexpected romance, or let her past fears keep her from true love?

Sasha has a gift and she uses that gift to help others see their futures and what lies ahead for them. But then one day a guy wanders into her shop hoping she can help him and her gift fails her...and she's left wondering why, because it's never happened before.
The Matcha Maker Cafe is a wonderfully penned story about a woman who has a special gift and she uses that gift to bring joy and perspective to other peoples lives. But then one day that gift of hers doesn't work and for the first time in her life she can't see someone. But little does she know there's a special reason for it...
This was an enjoyable read, I enjoyed watching the match maker finally find a match for herself... even if she didn't see it at first. For so long she believed she was only meant to find love for other people and that love wasn't meant for her... but this time love found it's way to her. It was an entertaining and heartfelt fall, filled with laughs and a a few swoons! Highly recommend you take a chance on this one it's certain to leave your heart happy!
