BOOKWORM REVIEW: Miss Matched by Wendy Million

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: 🔥🔥.5

Sometimes the right love just comes at the wrong time. 

Tayla and Simon did not expect to be matched together. After all, Simon broke their engagement and her heart six years ago. Just when Tayla wanted to get back to dating again, she hires a matchmaking company. Her match: Simon.

Rightfully so, Tayla wanted nothing to do with the match, but Simon convinces her to give him a second chance. Their journey to reconciling has a lot of ups and downs as they unearth secrets and traumas that led to their relationship's initial end. 

If you like a somewhat angsty, no-frills story about a second-chance love, you will enjoy this book. The character and relationship arcs in this read are so well done. Wendy Million does a great job of engaging readers with Tayla and Simon's heavy history and the journey it takes to find resolution and love.

There is a subplot regarding the matchmaking company, which I felt needed more development. It did not take away from the main story, however.

** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to Wendy Million, Wattpad, and NetGalley for providing an ARC. **

ABOUT THE BOOK

When matchmaking software pairs a woman with her worst ex, she gets a unique second chance to connect with the love of her life.

After years of bad dates, Tayla Murphy has decided it’s finally time she found her ideal partner, so she pays a hefty fee for a cutting-edge “soulmate” matching service. But the infallible algorithm must have a serious glitch, because it pairs her with the one man on Earth she never wants to see Simon―the man who left her heart in pieces when he broke off their engagement six years ago. Tayla would rather cut her losses, but if she’s going to move forward with her life, she needs the money back.

Then Simon shows up on her doorstep, promising Tayla he can get her a refund by showing the service that the match was wrong. But he wants her to really prove they aren’t meant to be―by dating him for the next month. Even though he thinks the service is a fraud, Simon has been desperate for a second chance with Tayla ever since he messed up their shot at happily-ever-after. They still have an amazing connection, but a lot has happened in the time they were apart. So is this a mismatch or a perfect match?
