4.5 stars for Arranged by Catherine McKenzie.
Arranged is a smart, down-to-earth and entertaining romance novel that puts a contemporary twist on old-fashioned ideas about marriage. It makes me happy and laugh but also angry and sad as I root for the heroine to find the true love she longs for.
As the story unfolds, the unconventional method of seeking a life partner engages and keeps me going to unravel the thrill of finding out who this mystery significant other will be. And just when I think I have it figured out, the author delivers the perfect unexpected twist that keeps me glued to the story right to the end.

Anne Blythe has a great life: a good job, good friends, and a potential book deal for her first novel. When it comes to finding someone to share it with, however, she just can’t seem to get it right.
After yet another relationship ends, Anne comes across a business card for what she thinks is a dating service, and she pockets it just in case. When her best friend, Sarah, announces she’s engaged, Anne can’t help feeling envious. On an impulse, she decides to give the service a try because maybe she could use a little assistance in finding the right man. But Anne soon discovers the company isn’t a dating service; it’s an exclusive, and pricey, arranged marriage service. She initially rejects the idea, but the more she thinks about it-and the company’s success rate-the more it appeals to her. After all, arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world, so why wouldn’t it work for her?
