About this listen
desire /dəˈzī(ə)r/: a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen
Unsettled… That is the word Desire Chambries uses to describe how she feels. Although her preschool students bring her joy, her personal life needs resuscitating. She’d love to get married, but the dating scene lacks quality men. Most were barely boyfriend material and definitely not fit to be someone’s husband. At thirty-five years old, her hope of finding the man of her dreams and becoming a wife is fading fast, as is the idea of having children of her own.
One lonely Friday night, after being stood up for the third time, she sees an ad for Arranged Hearts on social media. Her interest is piqued, and before she second-guesses herself, she completes the online profile. Once she presses submit, things move rapidly, and she finds herself agreeing to spend the rest of her life with a man she’s never met.
Aziel Harris has to make some lifestyle changes since he plans to run for a second term as mayor of his hometown. His image has taken some major hits as of late, with women coming out of the woodwork to stake their claim on him. Not to mention, he’s raising his sassy three-year-old daughter, Azaria, alone, and single fatherhood as a forty-two-year-old was harder than running the city.
Unbeknownst to him, his assistant completes a profile for him with Arranged Hearts. Initially, he refuses to go through the process, but knowing a team of people are counting on him to continue his reign as mayor, he agrees to marry a woman he’s yet to meet.
Desire and Aziel didn’t expect marrying a stranger to be easy, but neither of them was prepared for the obstacles thrown their way. Will the arranged hearts commit to forever, or will ‘I do’ turn into ‘I don’t’?

Story
Suvi Summers never had luck in the love department. Failed relationship after failed relationship leads her to an unforgettable interview with the matchmaking service. Blaze Snow was a ladies' man. He’d never had any trouble finding a woman, but keeping her was a different story. When his best friend signs up for a matchmaking service, he goes for moral support but ends up in an interview of his own. Neither of them expects to gain much from the service, but when they meet at the alter a few weeks later, they are forced to come to terms with feelings neither of them were prepared to reveal.

Story
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

From the moment his eyes met hers, there was something. Time stood still, the world around them vanished, and electricity... instant electricity. Immediately, she owned him in an inexplicable way he couldn’t quite understand. He couldn't escape her. Not in his dreams. And soon, not even in his reality. He was the man that made her soar. There was nothing in the world she wanted more than him. Absolutely nothing. His touch made her levitate. When she was with him, she was limitless. He felt like home.

Lets Get Married!!! 👰🏾♀️🤵🏾♂️💒💐
Desire is sick and tired of dealing with triflin’ men that do nothing but waste her time. At 35, her biological clock is tickin’ and she’s ready to say I do to somebody’s son and have a few babies. After being stood up for the third time, Desire is over the dating scene and has decided to let the elite matchmakers of Arranged Hearts do the heavy lifting for her and find her future husband.
Aziel is the mayor of Onyx City and, while he’s done great things for the city during his first term, his numbers are slipping in the poles. This does not bode well for his re-election bid. Being an unmarried single father doesn't appeal to his female constituents and it also doesn’t help that he’s for the streets. To clean up his image, his assistant suggests he signs up with Arranged Hearts. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Aziel agrees.
Alexa, play Lets Get Married. When Desire met Aziel at the alter in her white dress, to say this man was over the moon would be an understatement. See, the gag is, both of them were already crushin’ hard on each other but, Desire was well aware of Aziel’s reputation and, she refused to be just another hit it and quit it. As soon as Aziel lifted Desire’s veil, he vowed then and there to make their marriage real in every way and he didn’t care what any of the naysayers had to say. “If anyone objects, keep it to yourself and take your a@* home. This wedding is happening whether you object or not. We’re not here for the negativity.” Yaaaaasssss! Aziel said y’all betta put some respect on their union.
This was such a good book! I really enjoyed Desire and Aziel’s unconventional love journey. I loved how quickly they became protective of one another. He didn’t play about his wife, she didn’t play about her husband, and anybody who tried them could get it. And, y’all know Nette love the kids and little Ms. Azaria swooped in and stole the whole book. Her reaction when she saw Ms. Chammies at the alter with her daddy was so stinkin' adorable. This book was marriage at first sight done right. If you haven’t read any of the books in this series, start with this one. Well done Kay Shanee. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
