About this audiobook
The up-and-coming matchmaking agency Kinnections is the hottest thing to hit Verily, New York—just like Kennedy Ashe, social director for the service she owns with her two best girlfriends. A coach, consultant, and cheerleader rolled into one super-sizzling package, Kennedy creates dream dates, encourages singles to shine, and never refuses a challenge—not even her new client, Nate Ellison Raymond Dunkle, rocket scientist and nerd extraordinaire. Kennedy vows to transform this hot mess in a lab coat with a disastrous relationship track record into the most wanted man on the Verily dating scene. If only she could turn the wand on herself. Though she radiates confidence and sex appeal, Kennedy harbors deep-seated insecurities from her tormented past. When she realizes she and Nate are cut from the same cloth and might be perfect together, can Kennedy learn to let her heart lead the way? Or will her fears sentence her to the sidelines as Nate finds love—with someone else?

51 ratings8 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not bad one, but I liked the first one better!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was definitely better than the first, mostly because Ken and Nate made for a much better and interesting couple. Not much changed in terms of plot or character development, but it was worth the read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An absolutely fantastic read!! The ladies of Kinnections are at it again and this time Kennedy has a special project. Reform Ned the Nerd and find him a wife!! A classic Jennifer Probst story with lots of laughs and oh so sexy scenes! Ned..er ..Nate is yummy and Kennedy is in trouble. This is one you definitely to want to miss out on. Highly recommended read!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I found this to be a very pleasant read, Jennifer has produced another well written, heart warming book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jennifer Probst is one of my all time favorite authors, and I love how she blends a little bit of the supernatural into her stories. I have read almost every one of her books and as a result, I feel like I know some of her characters intimately. Searching for Perfect includes the magical chant that brings couples together from "The Book of Spells" and mentions characters from "The Marriage to a Billionaire" series. This book focuses on successful matchmaker Kennedy Ashe and Nate Ellison Raymond Dunkle, the nerdiest rocket scientist on earth.Smart and gorgeous Kennedy Ashe, along with her two very best friends, own and manage Kinnections, a matchmaking agency that is on the brink of turning a profit. When Kennedy meets Nate at one of the company's speed date mixers, she instantly feels a need to transform him. You see, Nate is a geek; replete with orthopedic shoes, heavy glasses, a pocket protector and stained, ill-fitting clothing. Nate is Kennedy's Eliza Doolittle.Nate is truly a hottie after his makeover, however, Kennedy has to work on his social skills in order for him to be prepared to interact with the opposite sex. Nate is honest to a fault, which causes many funny and insulting moments, but he is learning. As Kennedy and Nate spend time together, they get to know each other, which turns into much more than a simple professional relationship. They learn about each others fears, hangups and quirks, while discovering the best sex of their lives. Kennedy and Nate have more in common than anyone could ever imagine.I loved this book. To begin with, the first three or four chapters have many laugh out loud moments. Ms. Probst does an amazing job of incorporating some real-time issues in a non-offensive, comical way. For example, one of the women Nate meets during the speed dating mixer is a teacher. She ends up complaining about the "common core" which is a hot topic these days, and the dialogue is totally priceless.Ms. Probst took the simple act of food tasting and turned it into a hot and erotic event. A blindfolded Kennedy being directed by Nate's choice of food stimuli, caresses and words, is a total aphrodisiac for the mind, body and spirit.This is the second book in the Searching For series and it can be read as a stand alone. If you are looking for a solid romance with just the right combination of storyline, emotion, angst, and steam, then Searching for Perfect is perfect for you.I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was enjoyable to read. I hope Mrs. Probst continues the series. I loved Nate and wish he was real. The way he cared for Kennedy and pushed her to her limits had me drooling. I thought Kennedy pushed him away too much but, I understand why. The book was an easy read with some steamy scenes. I'd really love to see Wolf's match and Arilyn as well as Connor and maybe even Benny's!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the second book in the 'Searching For...' series and it was just as incredible as the first! Maybe even better! This one resonated with me on a deeply personal level with Kennedy Ashe's weight & self image issues mirroring my own. I have my own horror story of what being the 'fat girl' did/does to me. I just had bariatric surgery and I've lost a total of 90 pounds so far so I also know what it's like to lose weight but still have those same weight issues rear their ugly head whenever a mirror is nearby. I will tell you that Nate would be my dream guy - a hot nerd who wants to get married and have kids but also has a bit of the bad boy peeking out now and again - what woman wouldn't want that??! And having him read the 3 books that he read (I won't spoil it for you) was pure genius. Every man on the planet should do the same and then add this book to their 'must read' pile. Right. Now. Go ahead, I'll wait. I am looking forward to the next book and I'm hoping that Gen & Wolfe get their story as well as A. If you are looking for something smoking hot and yet touching & sweet at the same time, you've found your match right here in Verily with 'Kinnections' and their 3 lovely owners.FTC Advisory: I won a copy of this book through the GoodReads First Reads program. No compensation for my review was given.

Or will her fears sentence her to the sidelines as Nate finds love—with someone else?MY REVIEW:I have to say, I am officially addicted to Ms. Probst’s new series. This is hot, engaging, funny, and very relatable. I love the tie-in she’s also done to her previous series as well; it gives it a nice connection. And let me just say this one had me laughing so much, and out loud so many times, I lost count. Nate is a hoot, and I love the author’s reference to his given name and how it spells NERD. LOL The fact that he was one, too, was even better. And what is nicer than watching a bud blossom into something sinfully sexy.Kennedy was also engaging and fun to read about. She had it all together except for her dealings with Nate, but in the end, it was truly nice to watch these two work out their issues.If you want a book that will have you doubling over in laughter, while at the same time giving you all of the factors readers want: hotness, engaging, and fabulous characters, pick this up today!
