True love is said to defy time, but can it survive space, aliens, and being abducted? Angus MacNamara and Erin O'Shea are about to find out.The big blue planet that most call  Earth desperately needs matchmakers. There is only one small-okay, BIG-problem. No one wants the alien dating service job. No one. The original matchmakers are dead, and much worse, their DNA is no longer viable for cloning. Solution? Go back in time to some of Earth's other-thankfully slower spinning-versions, and retrieve the alternates of the one couple in any universe who seems able to do the job.Far easier said than done though, especially when the alternates are anything but a loving couple, and both are none too pleased to be thrown into the future. What does oil and water create? Salad dressing or a real mess of aliens, humans, and matchmaking fun!… (mer)

Angus MacNamara and Erin O'Shea are rival matchmakers in 1958 who sometimes partner together for certain cases. Angus has fulfilled a promise he made to his late wife to find spouses for all their children and now is ready to join her when he is interrupted by Erin. Then five strange men appear and whisk them away to the year 2497 in an alternate universe. Their services are needed for matchmaking various aliens.
I found the beginning of this book kind of rough. I felt it was the next book in a series and I had missed a lot of the backstory; however, this is book one. It got better and I enjoyed some of the back-and-forths between Angus and Erin. The story is a takeoff on Men in Black combined with Doctor Who and Galaxy Quest and is funny in places. But I found the story rushed and not really my cup of tea, but I can see how some readers would enjoy it.
I'd give it 3 1/2 stars rounded up to four. I am giving an honest review in exchange for a copy of the book. ( )

Matchmaker Abduction by Donna McDonald
Aliens in Kilts, Abduction 1

What fun! This book had me smiling and caring and laughing as I read. McDonald has created a world of universes that rely on one another and as this book begins there is great need of matchmakers to match aliens with humans. Who is brought in to solve things? Angus MacNamara and Erin O’Shea. The two had a testy relationship before their abduction BUT with a second chance in a new time period and location will they manage to find a HEA?

There are aliens, clones, women drafted to be brides, a relationship to build, and a whole lot more going on in this book. I enjoyed the realistic and often humorous interactions between Erin and Angus, the friendship building done by Angus with Nate and the aliens and the intriguing ideas introduced about the world and multiverses. I am looking forward to reading more in the series and hope I won’t have to wait long to read book two of the series.

Thank you to the author for the ARC. This is my honest review.
