I really wanted to read this book by Karey White because I had previously read another book by her, 
 (My Own Mr. Darcy), which I enjoyed tremendously. So having said that, I was excited to read this book, The Husband Maker, particularly given the advance warning that it will be a trilogy which means I will have even more reading to look forward to. 
 I was given this ebook in exchange for an honest review and here it is: 
 To begin with, there is no question now that I am a Karey White fan. Initially I was going to give this book a 4 heart rating after having read it. I really enjoyed it so much and was debating just how much and what that value would equal in rating when I began to consider why I immediately knew it had to be an even higher score. Not only did I have the great experience of reading this book, the extra bump to the score is because I care about these characters and what is going to happen to them in the upcoming books. I never thought to add another .25 just because there will be more books in a series/set (view spoiler)[ before but I don't recall ever finishing a book and then still be cheering for a character to find their heart's desire as I am for Charlotte (not Charlie and definitely not Chuck). (hide spoiler)] 
 I wouldn't call this a spoiler since this is pretty much indicated in the series title and description, I rather expected it, however I did not anticipate how I'd come to care about what happens with her, and indeed with her loved ones also. I truly appreciated how authentic this book felt, that the relationship mishaps and bumps that were there were dealt with in a way that felt not only true to the characters (a requirement) but in a way that resonated as real world and true to life. Although it might be a fictional story that does not mean it has to feel manufactured, contrived, or unbelievable, and this certainly did not feel that way in the slightest. 
 Charlotte is very brave, has just enough optimism and romantic fairy dust in her eyes to understand what it is she wants combined with enough self awareness to keep her honest. (view spoiler)[ I loved the love story between Kyle and Charlotte and although this is not a love-triangle type book where some readers are on Team 1 versus others rooting for Team Dream #2, I did find myself hoping that Angus might become a love interest. (hide spoiler)] 
 I am truly looking forward to reading the next books in this series.
