THE SWEETEST MATCH BY ABBY TYLER | REVIEW




The Sweetest Match 

Abby Tyler 

Publication date: March 7th 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

She hid secret messages in frosting, thinking no one would notice.
Abby Tyler welcomes you to the witty, well-meaning busybodies of Applebottom, Missouri, where the community takes its pies — and its matchmaking — very seriously.
Sandy Miller became an outcast at fifteen years old. Pregnant, confused, and blackmailed into silence, she spent eighteen years raising her son away from the disapproving stares of her hometown.
But Caden has left for college, and Sandy needs a job. When Applebottom’s tea shop owner sees Sandy’s decorating sketches, she hires her instantly in hopes of putting her little bakery on the map.
And then the town starts spotting secret words of love and longing on her cakes.
Andrew McCallister is the first to admit that he never got over Sandy Miller. In high school, another boy swooped in and snatched her right up. Everything that happened afterward filled him with regret. The town’s censure. His failure to check on her. Her struggle.
But now she’s back.
When the town summons the pair to a meeting to plan the school’s centennial bash, Andrew and Sandy discover they are the only two members of the committee. As they attempt to rekindle the long-lost flame, they realize the community must come together for more than an anniversary party. For their new relationship to flourish, the old guard must learn to support their most vulnerable members even when times get hard.
Abby Tyler is the new small-town romance pen name of USA Today bestselling author Deanna Roy / JJ Knight.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all, one of the main reasons I was interested in this book is the fast that I have read Deanna Roy/JJ Knight before. And I loved those books. It was no question I would enjoy The Sweetest Match.
Betty Johnson is a hoot. I really enjoyed her bit. Right off to bat, there's sparks between Andrew and Sandy. They both have mental . . . I wouldn't say struggles, but I would call them difficulties about how each other is faring. Andrew wondering whether Sandy is still going after another guy. Sandy wondering why Andrew never married. But they get along so well. It's great chemistry between them. And they both have some kind of skeleton in the closet.
Of course, as predicted, I loved this book. It was a page-turner and fairly quick read(depending on your reading skills), I couldn't stop reading it. I was in a bit of a slump when I picked it up, but it seemed to be just what I needed to get me back into the game. If you are in need of a small-town, sweet romance, definitely pick this one up.

DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED A COMPLIMENTARY COPY OF THIS BOOK AS I AM PARTAKING IN THIS BLOG TOUR WITH XPRESSO BOOK TOURS. THIS IS MY HONEST VOLUNTARY REVIEW.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Abby Tyler loves puppy dogs, pie, and small towns (she grew up in one!) Her Applebottom Matchmaker Society books combine the sweet and wholesome style of romance she loves with the funny, sometimes a-little-too-truthful characters she remembers from growing up in a place where everyone knew everybody’s business.
