Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured 'Calling on the Matchmaker' in a single sitting, utterly absorbed in the world Jody Hedlund created. Susan Hanfield's narration is top-notch, bringing the characters to life with a warm, authentic voice that perfectly complements the story. One of the things that really stood out to me was the way the audiobook balanced Finola's emotional depth with the lighthearted charm of the matchmaking scenes. It's a delicate balance to strike, but Hedlund pulls it off beautifully, making the story feel both romantic and authentic. My only critique would be that the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, with some scenes feeling slightly rushed and others feeling overly long. However, this is a minor complaint in an otherwise exceptional audiobook. Overall, I would highly recommend 'Calling on the Matchmaker' to fans of historical romance and anyone looking for a heartwarming, thought-provoking listen.
