A Review by Diane
Perfect Match by Lila Monroe = Perfect Winner!
**** 1/2 Stars
Notorious
playboy meets passionate, driven, smart woman in a funny and sassy love
story. Those 14 words sum up this
wonderful read from Lila Monroe.
McKenna
Delaney has spent a good part of her life developing a new and innovative way
to approach dating and how to match people and now she’s ready to it launch it
to the “world.com.” One little glitch
remains…….she needs financial help in getting her app to go live. She’s been turned down several times by
financial investors and her last ditch effort to gain this support rests in the
hands of Jack Callahan, a notorious playboy, but very successful investor who
has the billions behind him to help those he feels worthy of his time and
money. All he asks of McKenna to convince him her
premise works, is to find him his “perfect match” or soulmate using her app in
60 days. Whoa!!! Not much time, but does that deter our
heroine? Nope! McKenna is up to that challenge!
For me this
is when the book really takes off. These
characters are downright lovable. The
banter between them is funny and magnetic.
It’s here that Ms. Monroe’s quick witted writing really shines. McKenna is sassy and smart; Jack is
devilishly charming. The attraction
between these two literally jumps of the page.
The sex is smoldering. You want
to jump into the book and say “Jack, take me instead! I’m your soulmate!” I’m not kidding!!!
However near
the end when the “boy loses girl” part happens I didn’t quite “buy” what split
them up. It just doesn’t fit with the
personality of these two characters. Up
until this point they were both confident and smart and suddenly they are
filled with uncertainty and doubt? It just doesn’t mesh with who these
characters are in the first part of the book to me.
Now with
that said, this is a very small glitch in a wonderful story. Ms. Monroe quickly brings them back together
for their happily ever after ending and they are back to their quick and sharp
banter.
The premise
for this story is unique and different from your standard contemporary romance
and is smartly and cleverly written.
Once I got into this story I just couldn’t put it down. All in all it was a sweet and entertaining
romance and one that readers will thoroughly enjoy! I guarantee it!
