Review: Her Unexpected Match by Lacey Baker
/Get ready to get whisked away on this relaxing island in the first book of Lacey Baker’s Crescent Matchmaker series, Her Unexpected Match. Filled with a beautiful setting, family, friends and romance, this was a nice beginning to the series.
Allie Sparks is currently facing a dilemma. With the backlash from her last viewed articles creating a negative buzz with subscribers, she is challenged with the task of finding the heart of a new destination to bring to her column. With her job on the line, Allie is determined to find that “it” story that will save her career. While she’s visiting her best friend, Sophia, Crescent Island with its beautiful beach and growing interest in the promise that love will find a way for those who visit the island, what better place to find the heart of her story than a place where there is everything to love. Tell that to cynical Allie.
You never know when love will find you. After his heart was broken by his ex, Ryan Parker never gave up on the idea of love. One day when a beautiful gal caught his eye, the possibility was desired but it just wasn't the right time. In a time crunch, trying to secure an opportunity to expand on their family business, Ryan is trying to do everything he can to prove to his father that he can turn his idea into fruition. That’s all good but the stars aligned have another plan.
While it’s hard to resist the absolute charm of this beautiful island, the growing attraction to Ryan seems hard to escape. While her focus is supposed to be on writing the article and catching up with her best friend, there’s something brewing behind the scenes that these two can’t escape. With love being a promise of anyone that comes to this island, Allie finds herself capturing more than her story. Will this unexpected match be the answer to finding her heart?
I didn’t dive in right away. The book had a gradual pace considering the plot which was nice. The vibe was relaxing and fun. I had a really nice time with Allie and Ryan. These two destined characters just worked so well and gave us something to look forward to as well as the other characters that made this overall a nice read. Crescent Island had an endearing charm that makes you want to go again. I'm looking forward to what’s next.
