Bri Duval is a hopeless romantic Gerard Fortier is anything but. However the bakery she works at goes viral thanks to the love lock wall and the matchmakers who own the bakery put them on the path to meet when travel writer Gerard is sent to cover the wall the matchmakers and the bakery. The two main characters couldn’t be more different but that’s what makes for such an interesting story.

That while this is Bri and Gerard story it’s the secondary characters that stood out the most to me. Though I did love Bri’s and Gerard’s banter though not everyone will. I love how the secondary couple show Bri and the reader that love isn’t always perfect that more often than its messy.

Mabel and Agnes the bakery owners and matchmakers reminded me of a couple of older people at my church that love to play matchmaker even when the person they are trying to match up doesn’t want it.

I generally don’t cry when I read romances and even made it to chapter twenty five before i started crying. Mr. Mac was the character that brought tears to my eyes when he told Bri what he told her in chapter twenty five. I should have known that it would be the Marine in the book who would bring tears to my eyes. Mr. Macs love story takes the Marine Corp motto Semper Fidelis to an even more personal motto for Mr. Mac he’s also the character that i picture my dad being like at that age for many of the same reasons makes that part of the story personal for me.

I love this book and I didn’t want it to end. Not to mention that the author made me cry and that’s not an easy thing to do.

Readers who are fans of Betsy’s previous books as well as Becky wades Bradford sisters series and Jessica Kate will enjoy this book. And those who love Hallmark movies will love this book.

I received a complimentary copy The Number of Love from the publishers. I was not required to provide a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
