Shortbread Cottage (bakery/coffeehouse) owner Lisa Kincaid is a widow raising her four-year-old son Jamie. Her husband (James) died in an accident a few years ago, and construction company owner (hero) Kevin Decker feels somewhat responsible since her husband was an employee of his, and Kevin was there when the accident happened. So, through the years, he has been keeping a watch over Lisa and her son, and visits her bakery Shortbread Cottage mostly every day. Friendship eventually turns into romance, but Lisa is unsure if she wants to get involved again.

This was a pleasant (if sometimes bland) romance. I liked the hero Kevin, he was obviously smitten with Lisa for years and got on well with her small son. The title of this book, “The Littlest Matchmaker", is misleading because Jamie never did any matchmaking and he was hardly in the first seventy pages of the book. The story's focus was more on the romance between the main couple. This was an okay read. ( )
