Matchmaker is a sweet, fun little read. This is the first of Sherry Chamblee's work I've read, but I intend to read more.The characters were well-developed for a short story, and I truly enjoyed both Jack and Melissa. As is often the case with a good short story, I found myself wishing for more -- more back story, more of their future, all of it. This wasn't due to anything lacking in the story. No, it was just that I liked Jack and Melissa so much I wanted more of them. Especially Jack. ;-)Another reviewer claimed the story was "too preachy". Not at all. Yet another reviewer claimed it wasn't Christian enough because the two matchmakers are mean-spirited. Again, not at all. Ms. Chamblee strikes just the right note with this one. Not all "Christians" are very Christ-like, after all. And if wanting to follow God's will is too preachy, we've reached a sad state, haven't we?Jack is just too adorable to pass up. Cute, cool hair, funny, sweet -- and smart enough to see what's right in front of him. What's not to love? Read the story for Jack if for no other reason.
