Time for another Rachel's Random Resources tour that's gonna add to your TBR!  Today's featured title is a Contemporary Romance with a little bit of Romcom to spare, plus the grumpy/sunshine trope to boot!  Curious?  You should be, and I'm here to bring you a peek between the pages.  Ready or not, here comes today's blog tour guest and ebook of choice...



Match Me If You Can
by
Sandy Barker


About the book...
Welcome to the Ever After Agency – a clandestine organisation offering bespoke solutions to romantic problems.

Whether you're looking for the love of your life, a fresh romantic start, or just want to keep up appearances, the agency can tailor a solution to meet your needs.

When Tristan Fellows walks into the agency, Poppy Dean knows she's in for a challenge. A typical bachelor, Tristan has no intention of falling in love, but in order to receive his 30-million-pound inheritance, he must find himself a wife before his 35th birthday.

This may be Poppy’s hardest case yet, but even the most arrogant of men can sometimes warm a woman’s heart…

From the great title/cover combo to the name of the matchmaking agency, I was in insta-love!  The "problem" at the center of the story presented SO MANY moments for meet cute fun, and yet the one that stuck was the first and most meaningful.  I was prepared to adore Poppy, after all, her job alone screams romantic soul, but she was also genuinely kind, caring, and a truly good human being.  That's not easy to find nowadays and a great match for her client, though she can't actually be with said client.  Tristan, on the other hand, I was prepared to be indifferent to because, let's face it, he's OBVIOUSLY the grumpy part of the equation, and he's only getting married to secure an inheritance...HOWEVER, the more we get to know him, the more we come to understand him, and even like him.  Yep, I said it.  You can't help but end up liking him, even if he does tend to cast a cloud over our ray of sunshine, Poppy...but together, they would make the perfect forecast!

Okay, even I'M laughing at my turn of phrase there, but it's true!  They balance each other out perfectly, even when they are trying to ignore the sparks flying between them.  Kind of hard when you're working on such a personal matter, but there you have it.  They valiantly try, and it really seems like all is lost, but then, just when you think it's the end...there's one more moment that just makes the magic happen!  If they weren't endeared to you before, that final gesture, that big act, really gets you right where it counts, and leaves you with a smile on your face, and a happy heart.

A great pick for Romance fans that love Contemporary stories filled with all the things we adore about the genre and a guaranteed HEA, even if it isn't the one that was intended!
