Publisher Description
Every date that firefighter Sasha McCray has had in the last year has been orchestrated by matchmaker Samantha Monteiro through Perfect Match, Inc., and she still has nothing to show for it. After a series of near matches, Sasha has all but given up on finding that special spark with someone else.
Accountant by day and reluctant millionairess by night, Abby Rossmore wants nothing more than to be the normal girl she reads about in all those romance novels. But the truth is, once people find out about her family, their interest in her flares for all the wrong reasons.
When Samantha tries to help Abby and Sasha discover they have more in common than being unlucky in love, they have to decide if their shared passion will blaze on or burn out. Could they be each other’s perfect match? Or did the notorious Miss Match strike out?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Riley (Unlikely Match) balances romance, wit, and story complexity in this contemporary charmer. Strong, independent Boston firefighter Sasha McCray is moonlighting as a catering waitress when she meets accountant Abby Rossmore at a mutual friend's wedding. Abby is immediately attracted to Sasha but scared off by her playgirl reputation. Sasha's just friendly, and it irritates her that others think she's a womanizer. Meanwhile, Abby's keeping a big secret from blue-collar Sasha: the Rossmore family is extremely wealthy. Money is on Sasha's mind a lot, given her father's declining health and the accompanying pile of medical debt, and the surprising way she learns about Abby's background might spoil their romance permanently. Appealing supporting characters including Abby's free-spirited mother, Edie, and her matchmaking friend Samantha make this an emotional home run, particularly when Sasha gives Abby a thorough lesson in her favorite hobby, glassblowing. Readers of all stripes will enjoy this lyrically phrased, deftly plotted work about opposites attracting.

More please...
I love this series. Great characters, funny, witty, sexy dialogue. I truly hope there are more matches in the future as Miss Match makes me smile so much it’s difficult to put each book down. The premise is so simple (but not really), and yet you’ll fall in love with each character, including every single secondary one. Brava!
