My Mother's Ridiculous Rules for Dating by Philip William Stover

It’s hard to prove Mom wrong when she’s found Mr. Right…Dumped by his boyfriend and stuck in an unfulfilling job, jaded NYC ghostwriter Sam Carmichael can’t be more miserable. Until the eve of his thirty-fifth birthday when his mother, Gloria, arrives with a present from the past.

Years ago, exasperated by Gloria’s matchmaking, Sam promised his mother that if he wasn’t coupled up by thirty-five, he would do whatever she wanted to find a boyfriend. Sam was joking; his mother was not. Gloria swoops in creating new dating profiles, re-doing his wardrobe, and setting him up with a parade of bizarre matches.

When his mom zeros in on sexy and passionate artist, Finn Montgomery, Sam intends to prove her wrong and stop her interfering for good. But when it comes to finding love, does mother really know best?
