Mad About Matt By Theresa Paolo – Review by Emily Brockschmidt

Mad About Matt by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Mad About Matt” is the first book in the Red Maple Falls series by Theresa Paolo. Matt is the oldest of six siblings and the local sheriff in Red Maple Falls, the small town he was born and raised in. Seventeen years ago, he fell in love with Shay, a beautiful young woman who lived in New York but spent her summer vacations in Red Maple Falls with her grandparents. They haven’t spoken in years, but the feelings are still there. Matt is such a great male lead character, hometown boy, loyal to family and friends, helps out his parents and grandparents, what a catch! He is one of those characters you root for even if he isn’t the underdog. Shay seems to balance him out very well when he gets overly macho bossy to her and I love that! She doesn’t like to be told what to do after being bossed around for so many years and it’s wonderful to see a female character stand up for her life and love. Shay following her dreams and opening her own bakery is such a great way to honor her passions in life. These characters were so fun to read about, I hated to reach the end of the book. I am very happy to see that the Red Maple Falls series is nice and long and I can’t wait to read each one! So, yeah, five full stars to Theresa Paolo and “Mad About Matt!”
