ABOUT:
Terri Rayburn is a girl with a reputation. She doesn’t deserve it, but having grown up on the outskirts of Summer Hill, Virginia, she knows how small towns work. The only way to deal with vicious gossip is to ignore it. So she keeps to herself as she runs the summer resort on Lake Kissel.

When she returns home from a short trip to find a handsome stranger living in her house, she smells a rat. Someone is trying to fix her up, and she has to admit that Nate Taggert is just her type. However, Nate is engaged to the daughter of the mayor and strictly off-limits.

Nate and Terri form an unlikely friendship while he throws himself into life at the lake. As Nate starts to hear rumors about Terri he’s confused. Knowing how smart, beautiful and strong she is, he’s determined to discover the source of the gossip. Terri doesn’t want to revisit the past, but Nate won’t stop until he discovers the truth—even if the truth might be more than either of them can handle.

Met Her Match by Jude Deveraux Review

There was something about this book that I just really loved. I really don’t know why. I can’t put my finger on it.

Was it the perfect story? No. In fact, the first few chapters seemed a little stilted. But I absolutely loved the unique characters she crafted.

Friendship is an amazing thing. And when you can develop a close friendship with someone of the opposite sex, it truly can be special. Deveraux shows us exactly what it looks like to have the perfect partner, in friendship and eventually in love.

The story was so heartwarming and touching in many ways. I loved Terri. She’s hard-working, tough, yet so tender with a heart of gold as well. And Nate was created to perfectly balance with her. Sweet, kind, with a servant heart.

So for those reasons I’m giving us a five star because Met Her Match truly is a delight to read and it made me feel wonderful at the end. Isn’t that what we look for in a book? A classic romance that will capture your heart.
