The engagement is fake, but the feelings are real. Can Magalie put pretense aside and risk real love? Can Trace overcome his penchant for food challenges and fast-food-takeout-window shenanigans long enough to hold on to Magalie? Can anyone really beat the Saltine Challenge? Has Mr. Match met a match he can’t handle? Grab your balls and hang on — the second book in the hilarious Mr. Match … book in the hilarious Mr. Match series is here, and it’s full of snort-laugh moments, jokes about balls (c’mon…it’s a soccer book!), and the best Christmas-themed double-engagement epilogue in the history of, well, Christmas-themed double-engagement epilogues.
TRACE: My twin sister found love using the dating site everyone in San Diego is talking about — Mr. Match. And now that she’s happily coupled, she thinks I should look for my match.
The thing is? I’m pretty sure I don’t have one. I’ve got soccer. And maybe that’s all I really need–it’s definitely the only thing I’ve ever really been able to depend on, besides Erica.
I signed up. But what I got was not what I expected.
I did not expect to feel so much for a woman I’d only just met. And I definitely didn’t expect to find myself agreeing to pretend to be her fiancé.
The question is, if this is all pretend, why does it feel so real?
MAGALIE: When I moved to San Diego from France, I thought that would be enough to convince my mother I was committed to living my own life. But when she announced she was coming to visit, and bringing Henri–the man she wanted me to marry–I panicked.
Maybe using a site designed to match you with your soulmate wasn’t the right way to find someone to convince my mother I was engaged. Maybe convincing my mother I was engaged wasn’t the right way to get out of the arranged marriage she was trying to force on me.
And maybe there’s a lot more to my fake fiancé Trace Johnson than he’s willing to show the world.
I wish I didn’t want so badly to find out what’s beneath his bravado (and his shirt).more
Trace signed up for Mr. Match after his sister convinced him to. Magalie signed up to get a fake fiancé to stop her controlling medaling mother. When they meet they both realize they like each other. When Magalie asks Trace to pretend to be engaged to her he feels like he isn’t good enough. The more time they spend together the more they care for one another. When Magalie’s mom arrives will they be able to continue the charade?

Funny and sweet. Hot and full of heart. I adored Erika and Fuerte’s story, but man Trace and Magalie just took top spot away from them. Mr. Match truly does know what he’s doing. The boy who never really had a home has truly found one in the French woman who sees him for who he really is. Throw in a Saltine challenge, some Game of Thrones references and mouse nest wine tasting and you have the perfect recipe for a delicious romantic comedy. This one is a winner!
This is a romance with a second chance twist. I can only judge the story on how I liked it, grammar and such. I really liked it, I found it entertaining and fun to read. It is also quite well written and I at least could not find any errors. Overall I must say job well done to the author and with hope that you will find this review helpful.

I’ve been waiting for Trace’s story. We met him through his twin sister, Erica. These two are extremely tight, they’ve had to be.
Erica makes Trace, the goalie who takes his game very seriously, take the same match algorithm she did.
Trace is surprisingly matched with Magalie, a French vintner, working on a small winery in Temecula. She’s hiding out, trying to make her own way, away from her controlling mom.
Smart, funny, sweet, tons of pop culture references and a satisfying growth for both Trace and Magalie.
Recommend.
