A fun and quick read. I enjoyed the love triangle. I didn't particularly love any of the characters but I still thought it was a 5 star read!
Meet You Match is a no for me. I'm not a fan of this story line, I never felt the love triangle. It never pulled me in either direction. I had a hard time connecting to the characters on a deeper level. It all felt very surface and I couldn't become invested in them or the story.
I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.
thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.
Thank you, netgalley, the author and the publisher, for allowing me to read this as an arc. All opinions are my own.
I started the story and was hooked immediately. I loved the whole idea of match 360. I loved that there were connections being built even after the trauma. I was a little sad that channing and her didn't end up together. But I'm glad everyone got a happily ever after at the very end.
This was such a quick read! Cher is a matchmaker with a unique twist. She's on a yacht trip with her friend Owen for his birthday. who has been patiently waiting for her to realize that he is right there wanting a relationship with her. I wished that this was a little longer so that I could get more chemistry between Owen and Cher. Overall, it was a good, quick read!

I received this book from NetGalley.
This was a quick read and I finished it in a day. It was easy to read and is what I would call a quick beach read.
The book wasn't exactly what I was expecting. In the write up I didn't realise that Cher slept with the guys first. It's something that I found a bit weird and I didn't really enjoy that part.
Owen is a great character and I like how normal he seemed even though he was a billionaire.
I felt like this book lacked substance a bit. I wish we could have seen more relationships develop between people rather than just focusing on the intimate moments.
First thought: This is a new twist on matchmaking that turns up the heat. It’s a fun book you won’t want to put down till it’s over!
Cher is a natural matchmaker she’s been pairing people since college, she loves helping successful women find their happy afters. However her matchmaking has a twist and she offers a full package meaning she’ll even takes the guy for a test ride in the bedroom to ensure compatibility for her clients.
This next week is the event of the year for the rich and famous, her bestie Owen is throwing a birthday bash on his yatch. Only problem is she has a tragic past that makes going out on the water hard. However she can’t pass the opportunity to make some great matches plus celebrate her besties big day. One thing Cher didn’t foresee was allowing feelings to interfere with a match for a client and definitely not a storm to turn her world upside down.
Owen is the best friend billionaire that has been at Cher’s side from her first year at college, to her darkest days and now 10 years later as her business excels. Through it all he has loved her as his best friend and has a supported her without judgment. He has waited for his chance on the sidelines for when she is ready to open herself up, but now he’s worried he missed the chance and another guy will take what’s his again.
This book was told in singular perspective and
I really wished we got to see inside of the heads of the other characters. The story was engaging and kept me turning the pages, I was a bit disappointed with the ending but that’s because I don’t want to wait till the next book!
Don’t snooze on this one it’s a fun spicy read and the bonus chapter from Owen’s perspective just sealed my love for this series.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I tried to get into this book, but I just didn't like the characters. The spice in it is fantastic though!
If I am going to read a spicy book about a millionaire/billionaire - I don't need everyone to be fabulously wealthy, it just annoyed me.
This book was not for me. I read about a third of the book and just didn’t click with the characters or stories. I felt like it was written well enough, but I had to DNF.
While this book started a little slow, I really enjoyed how it picked up the pace and the character development that we get to see from Cher. I adore a friends to lovers trope, but was not expecting the roller coaster of emotions and depth that this book was going to have.
The premise was fun and a unique (very unique) twist on matchmaking. I cannot WAIT for the next book to see where this goes. I mean, I definitely was not expecting to be left hanging like that!
Meet Your Match follows Cher as she faces her fears on a yacht with her best friend, Owen, while working to fulfill her current clients in her matchmaking business.
I did not enjoy this for a multitude of reasons.
I felt like going all the way with clients and then handing them off is a TOTAL recipe for disaster. Which it kind of was.
I felt like the relationships were 100% surface.
The writing wasn't great. The author was telling us that we should be feeling one way, but I never really like clicked with it. I also do not feel like the "love triangle" if you will was very established at all. It was like Owen was super jealous or Channing was super jealous, but it just did not translate for me.
I also feel like I went into this thinking that there was going to be more spice than there was, but it was very fade to black and then that was the best sex of my life. It's just a no for me.
It very much felt like my ADHD brain was writing a book.
Thanks to Netgalley and Xpresso Book Tours for providing me with a copy of this book.
Thank you NetGalley for the arc.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a nice quick read and I couldn’t put it down.
Cher is this matchmaker (that can be insert in the sex worker area, since she gives a 360 tryout experience) and I loved that she is focused of finding love for everyone but completely closed off when it comes to enjoy it herself.
I loved the love story with Owen, based on trust and friendship (the sexual tentino there was real).
Channing was a nice character. I was a little sorry that he didn’t understand Cher work in the end.
I can’t wait for book 2🔥
After all I found it very sweet and engaging.

[ 3.5 STARS ]
i found this book very interesting! its a quick read that i finished in less than 24 hours and didn't want to put down. definitely one of those stories that feels like you're watching a movie play out in your head.
i haven't heard of a storyline quite like this and it stands out from other matchmaker stories because the main character, cher, is famous for her "full 360" matchmaking where successful women have her test out the men sexually before approving a match. despite the story heavily focusing on the sexual part of the matchmaking, the spice in the book was incredibly mild, which i appreciate since it wasn't overwhelming or super in your face.
the story follows cher on a weeklong trip aboard a yacht for her best friend owen's birthday. the party is a hub for lots of rich, attractive men and women for her to work her magic on. throughout the week, cher struggles between her hidden feelings for owen, overcoming a past traumatic boat experience, and finding a match for one of her biggest clients before the week is over.
i really enjoyed this book. i would've liked it to be a little bit longer and i would love to see more of the character's personalities and backgrounds shine through. overall, it was a fun read and i would recommend it to anyone who wants a fun, unique little summer read.
Book one in 'Matching millions'. Review contains small spoilers.
Short, Spicy (reverse harem) that ends in a cliff hanger! Personally don't like cliff hangers- I'm that person who stays up until the early hours of the morning to finish a book. I would rather have a longer book but thats just my preference. Story wise- interesting, good writing and enjoyable. The 3 main character were likeable which is always nice for me a reader. The opening of the book delves right into a mild ish spicy scene on a boat which admittedly took me by surprise! Character development for Cher is something I hope to see in the next book. I do recommend and look forward to seeing what will happen next!
I thought that this was an enjoyable read, the storyline was a little out there but is someone wants to do it why not!
I thought that the characters were good and well developed and I liked the mix of personalities
The story was about fighting a fear and overcoming it
The detail in the book was good and it was a book that was easy to read
It is 4 stars from me for this one –not quite what I was expecting but highly recommended!
This is book #1 in the Matching Millions series - and thank goodness I learned that otherwise the ending would have enraged me 🤣 … instead, great cliff hanger. I loved the character development of Cher… she is so much more than her job (as unconventional as it is, and certainly would have a stigma in real life). There were so many complex emotions, but yet a spicy read (but not over vulgar so I like that)! I am TORN between Owen and Channing, back and forth for so many reasons! It’s an incredibly short read, but was the perfect length in my opinion for the story. So excited for book #2 due out in October, and hope I can get an ARC of that!
A big thanks to NetGalley for granting me access to this book in exchange for my thoughts. This was a quick read despite having a rough time actually wanting to finish it. I feel like they didn't have enough chemistry and I think the description doesn't live up to what's going on in the story.
Not exactly what I was expecting. This book was about sex and basically only sex. It was short and glitzy, but not my preferred genre. The description was a bit misleading in my opinion.
