Emma is one of my favourite female characters and my favourite Austen character. I don't like matchmaking very much, but I think it's funny to read the tales and anecdotes of someone doing it... and well, Colleen is like a 21st-century Emma, just more appealing and easier to relate to her than Austen heroine. 
 I was not very happy with the idea of a book about Colleen because in the other two books i didn't like her too much. I sensed her as bossy and know-it-all, which she is in the end, but with so much charm that it is impossible not to like her. This, of course, I realized in this book and made the reading experience more interesting and spectacular. I mean, I was surprised by a romance book, that doesn't usually happen and it's so refreshing when it does :) Colleen was funny, sassy, self-confident, adorable and lovely. 
 About the plot, I liked the idea of recovering your first (intense) love. I think it was very good handled in this book (much better and more realistic than for example in Until There Was You). I liked the tragic hero aura Higgins gave to Lucas, but without being too melodramatic. He was well enough portrayed to make me swoon for him the same way Colleen does. 
 Colleen's attempts to bring together Pauline and Bryce were hilarious. Her attempts to cook were hilarious, although it annoyed me that her confidence was thrown over board in her effort to impress Lucas (as she needed something like that), when she already knew she couldn't cook an egg. 
 That theme that always annoys me in Higgins books (being successful is not enough to be a happy woman, you need kids and a husband) was there, but it wasn't as present and exasperating as said for example in The Perfect Match, where my idea of Honor didn't go very well with that philosophy. 
 In the end, summarizing all this, Waiting On You is my favourite book in the Blue Heron series tied with The Best Man in the first position, and Colleen is my favourite Higgins female character from all the books by her I read until now. I cannot wait til September to get back to the Holland family and read about Jack :) 
 Totally recommended for Higgins fans, Blue Heron fans and contemporary romance fiction fans. 
 Thank you to Harlequin and netGalley for providing me with a copy of this book.
