On an ordinary day, Jane Darling wouldn’t be caught dead in a sports bar wearing a toga with angel wings. But she’s desperate to launch her matchmaking business to secure her young daughter’s future. Her mission: to attract new clients at any cost.
Her Cupid outfit catches the eye of New York’s beloved star quarterback, Jasper Jannich. She and Jasper have always clashed, but when a pushy admirer goes too far, he steps in as an unexpected knight in shining armor.
He offers a tantalizing proposal: to be Cupid’s Arrow’s premier client. Reluctantly, Jane agrees, aware of the business potential despite her reservations about Jasper and his playboy reputation.
As she sets him up on date after date, it grows clear that Jane’s the only woman he wants.
She is his goal, his endgame.
She’s not not interested…but her heart has been burned before. To get anywhere, they’ll need courage and faith.

Review
4 stars!
Jane is trying to get her matchmaking business to take off when she runs into Jasper, the star quarterback. After he tries to get Jane to go on a date with him but is shot down, he signs up for her dating service just to annoy her. She is determined to make Cupid’s Arrow successful so she figures having a hot football player can’t hurt. However, when she starts to fall for the guy she’s supposed to find a match for, things get a bit complicated.
The Darling series is back with My Darling Jane and it is a fun, sweet, feel good sports romantic comedy. Jane is a single mom, working hard to be the best parent she can be. She desperately wants her dating service to work but she’s had some trouble finding dates for her clients. She sets Jasper up on some dates but no one seems to work for him and she doesn’t know why. He does though. He is interested in Jane and won’t stop until she seems there is something between them.
Jane and Jasper are so fun together. The banter is hilarious and I love their interactions. I believed their chemistry and loved how their relationship turns up the heat, yet it’s so much more than that. I enjoy the single mom trope and I loved how Jane put her daughter first even when it hurt her. I loved that Jasper was there by her side and gave her the space and patience she needed but still let her know he wanted her. I also loved that Jasper fell first because so many other books are the opposite.
Overall, these two were great together. My Darling Jane was an entertaining addition to the series and I can’t wait for more.
