The Perfect Match
I so wanted to love this book. Sadly, it didn't live up to my expectations. While I didn't love it, I didn't exactly hate it either. The Perfect Match is Honor's story. She is 35 and facing a life with no kids or husband. When her long time hook up turns her proposal down, she finds herself agreeing to marry Tom so he can get a green card. In the first book, Honor came across as a no nonsense type of person and very strong. In this book she was kind of a doormat. I had a hard time getting over the fact that she let someone string her along as a "friends with benefits" hook-up for as long as she let Brogan. Then, she is so hurt when her rejects her proposal of marriage. Why wait that long to find out his true feelings? I also didn't like Tom much. He drank to much and was a jerk to Honor most of the story. When exactly did they fall in love with each other?
There were a couple of things that saved the story for me. I loved the relationship with Charlie and Tom. I thought that storyline was so endearing. Because of his determinatin to win Charlie over, I ended up liking Tom in the end. I also loved the peripheral characters. Goggi and Pops in particular. They had a lot of funny scenes.
