Whether you're looking for the love of your life, a fresh romantic start, or just want to keep up

BLOG TOUR REVIEW



Review for 'Match Me If You Can' by Sandy Baker.



Read and reviewed for Sandy Baker, Boldwood Books, Book & Tonic, NetGalley and Rachel's Random Resources Tours.



Publication date 28th September 2023.



This is the first book I have read by this author. It is also the first book in the 'Ever After Agency' series.



This novel consists of 40 chapters. The chapters are short in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!



This book has fantastic descriptions that set you straight in the scenes. The cover, title and synopsis suit the storyline perfectly.


'Match Me If You Can' discusses some topics that may upset some readers or may not be suitable for others. I like to point this out ahead of time in my reviews so you can judge if this book is for you or not. In this book Sandy discusses/includes a supporting character that has fertility issues with unsuccessful IVF attempts.



Where the heck have you been hiding all my life Sandy!!! Love, LOVE, LOVED this absolutely gorgeous page turner!! An absolute must read!!!




OMG!!! I absolutely LOVED this gorgeous page turner and I cannot WAIT for the next book in this series to come out along with getting stuck in to all of Sandy's previous books!! They are just guaranteed to be stunning!! I absolutely adored the unique storyline which is hard to come by when it comes to romance books as there are so many out there but Sandy has created an absolutely gorgeous storyline which I cannot wait to continue in the next book in this series!!!! Poppy works for the Happily Ever After agency and has to find her client Tristan a woman to marry before his 35th birthday or Tristan will lose millions of pounds from his inheritance. Poppy manages to match him up to another client who has to marry and stay married for 5 years or she will get cut off from her father's wealth. However, things are definitely not smooth sailing and there is drama, unwanted bedtime visits and it leaves you wondering if Tristan will ever find his Happily Ever After!!! Poppy and Tristan head off to Greece and Edinburgh on their matchmaking travels and OMG Sandy's stunning evocative writing skills really does bring Greece, Edinburgh , London and the characters to life. I absolutely adored being swept off on holiday and was so absorbed that on the rare moments I looked up it took me a while to realise I was in Wales at home and not in Greece on a boat or outside Edinburgh Castle!!! The storyline is stunning and is ram packed with friendship, romance, holidaying, fun, sarcasm and is an absolutely stunning escapism romantic read!!! This is one of those books that are very easy to read and perfect for any reading situations whether you are laying on a beach or curled up in front of a fire. It is an absolutely ideal read for anyone who is looking for a gorgeous and relaxing read that will have you hooked from beginning to end. I absolutely LOVED the realism of this storyline which made it so easy to picture everything that was going on which had been helped by Sandy's fantastic evocative writing skills. I cannot wait to get hooked into more of Sandy's books so I hope she is busy writing her next stunner in this series while I get stuck into her previous books!! This is definitely one of those books that will turn a frown upside down and make life seem a lot brighter. Grab your copy today and fall in love with The Ever After Agency series today!!!



Well done Sandy on an absolutely stunning and perfect start to what promises to be an absolutely stunning series!!!




This may be the first book I have read by Sandy but I cannot wait to get hold of more books by this extremely talented author!!!



It is always worrying when starting a new series as you have no idea who the characters are. It is very important for me to bond with not only the lead protagonists but also any characters that may make repeat appearances during the series too.



The characters were all an eclectic mix and each one of them were realistic and strong. I was completely invested in them all. It also makes them more realistic, believable and made me feel even more for them than I normally would. I absolutely loved Poppy who I thought was a friendly, strong, likeable woman and I was rooting for her throughout. My heart went out to her when certain things were happening and she felt stuck between a rock and a hard place although I won't say any more about that. She was funny, sarcastic, friendly and everything anyone could ask for in a fantastic female protagonist!!! I wasn't sure what to think of Tristan at first but he quickly grew on me and I loved his friendship with Ravi and Jacinda, along with Poppy's friendship with Shaz. There were just so many amazing characters that I loved getting to know that I could write about them all day but I don't want to bore you so I'll start to wrap it up here. However, I will add that there was definitely a very cringeworthy character but their antics made me laugh and there wasn't any characters I disliked, which makes a huge change for me as there is normally at least one character!!! Actually, hold that thought !!! I spoke to soon!!! Tristan's Aunt was a horrid money grabbing character but thankfully we don't have to put up with her much!!! Each of the characters are memorable and unique in their own ways and they are a group that I wont be forgetting any time soon! I cannot wait to meet them all again and I'm hoping they will (almost) all be in the next book in this series!!!




Pick up this book and get lost in this absolutely gorgeous page turner! This has got to be the most stunning book I have read this year 💜!!!




Congratulations Sandy on an absolutely stunning read that I just could not put down!!! I am absolutely mind blown that I have never read any of your absolutely gorgeous books yet!! I am looking forward to reading more of your previous and future books especially the next book in what promises to be a stunning series if this gorgeous read is anything to go by. I would absolutely love to see this book turned into a movie!!! Welcome to my favourite author list and here's to your next success 🥂



Make sure you read to the very end of the book to read the first two chapters of Sandy's next book in this series which promises to be just as gorgeous as this book. It is one I'm definitely looking forward to reading myself!!




Overall an unputdownable, gorgeous, STUNNING page turning book filled with holidays, romance, fun, laughter, friendship and so much more!! A perfectly relaxing and stunning unique read!!!!



381 pages.



This book is just 99p to purchase on kindle, free with kindle unlimited and £9.99 in paperback at time of review via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!



Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
