This audio was a sweet story, at times funny, as well one filled with misunderstandings. Thus making it perfect for an afternoon of leisure.
Jade Reed and Aiden Lin are the yin and yan in this story. He’s a Navy SEAL whose Chinese mother sends his name in to Perfect Match hoping to receive an invitation to a tropical island with his perfect match. Mom wants him to get married and have kids.
Jade is a romance writer as well as a thriller author using a male pseudonym. Her best friend also manages to send her name to Perfect Match resulting in Jade and Aiden being paired together.
Watching these two opposites interact was fun and delightful. Making it another entertaining story by this author.
This delightful novella was impossible to put down. I started it late at night and finished it in one sitting. The original premise of finding true love through a dating service is twisted a bit by the fact that neither Jade, an author, nor Aiden, a Navy SEAL, have any interest in looking for a partner. Both entered the island giveaway for reasons other than romance.
Making life even more interesting is that Jade writes romance novels under her own name, but also writes thrillers under a male pseudonym. It turns out that Aiden reads some of her thrillers, but tells her that he considers them second-rate. Aiden has his own aspirations of becoming a writer.
It is fun watching the two of them break down the stereotype images they have of each other. They decide to play along with the getaway purpose when in public. Of course, this is a romance, so the reader knows that the fake relationship will somehow become very real.
Ms. Ayala does an excellent job of developing her lead characters. Since others mentioned in the story play a peripheral role, there is no need to know them as well. There are vivid location descriptions that make the reader feel as if she is there. The romance moves at a realistic pace for a novella and I loved seeing it unfold.
This book is a perfect match for someone looking for an engaging story, but without a lot of time to read.
Ayala believes in the direct approach. The best romances are the least complicated ones, yet it’s the emotions that bring on the complications. Jade is at it’s best a relaxing tale of angst, heart and humor. As a romance writer Jade wants to believe in the fantasy, but reality keeps bringing her down. Aiden needs a little down time away from his dangerous career and matchmaking mom. A little fun in the sun is just what the doctor ordered. Or is it just what their hearts crave? Perfect Match has all the ingredients to have readers believing in love.
A great summer read. Interesting characters and great story. The characters were roped into vacation and found they liked the company. Almost lost the love
This is the one of the books in the Perfect Match Book
series. Six different authors wrote novellas linked
by a unifying theme.
The six women receive invitations for a week long
vacation to an island of their choice from the owner
of Perfect Match, Dawson Yates. Dawson hopes to
make six perfect matches to enhance his business.
Jade Reed receives one of the invitations to go to an
Island of her choice. She chose Ile d’Armour. It is a
tropical broken heart shaped island located in the
southeast corner of the Caribbean.
Jade plans to make this a business and pleasure
trip as her father has an interest in the resort. Jade
filled out the questionnaire on a lark, making herself
into a demanding, hard to get along with person.
She came from money so she is very spoiled and
self-centered. Jade is a romance author with one name
and writes mystery/ suspense under a masculine name.
She is looking for a personal retreat week.
Navy SEAL Aiden Lin is home on leave. He learns his
mother and sister have signed him up for the Perfect
Match vacation. He is not looking forward to this
adventure. His favorite author will be on this island so
he hopes to meet up with him so he can become this
authors co-writer.
The initial meeting between Jade and Aiden wasn’t
exactly great but they decide to stay on the island
together for a week.
There was definitely and undeniable chemistry that
sparked between them. They both are pretending to
deny it is there.
The writing is very talented with several well plotted
adventures for the couple to partake. Both
characters were well defined and very realistic. The
supporting characters added to the story.
Will a little fun surrounded by an island setting bring
them closer? Will they find their a Perfect Match in
each other?
My favorite part was the hike up to the dormant
volcano edge. Aiden was so well prepared for any
situation that arose.
Fast paced book in a beautiful setting starting
with the first word and keeping you entertained up
to the very last page.
A Highly Recommended Read!!
A tropical island, a hot Navy Seal and a romance writer set up by a dating agency. What could be more romantic? Right? Except neither are looking for love but the writer needs some ideas for a book and the Seal is looking for ideas on how to write a book. Oh the things they will learn from each other. But a misunderstanding may end what they have. I would love to have seen into their future. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
Jade: Perfect Match is a delightfully engaging story that will rev your heart alive and keep it going with jolts of love, laughs, and hope. These stories are precious and tons of fun to enjoy. This short story will wrap itself around you like a warm blanket on a cold, winter day and bring a bit of sunshine and warmth into your very soul. You will find yourself smiling and hoping it doesn’t end too soon.
Jade is a romance author who has forgotten how to use her heart in real life. She lives day by day in the shadows until going on a free vacation she was gifted from a friend. Aiden Lin was pushed into the same vacation by his well-meaning mother and sister. All he is looking for is come peace and quiet, but if he happens to find more from a sweet and sexy lady he certainly won’t complain. When Jade feels her heart respond to Aiden she scrambles to keep control until Aiden proposes a deal that will benefit them both. Can Jade keep her heart under her normal tight reign, or will she find that she is helpless to defend herself from the one man who can make her come undone?
Watching these two fantastic characters get to know each other and then figure out that they fit so well together while keeping their hearts out of the mix was a sometimes hilarious and sometimes steamy endeavor. It was completely unforgettable and such a sweet summer romance to savor and enjoy. I hope to hear more from this scintillatingly wonderful couple. This was a perfect read to cheer up my own heart.
Rachelle Ayala is a fabulous author who knows how to bring light and warmth to a heart that has slowly grown cold and complacent. She knows how to balance the perfect mix of steam and humor in a story to keep your interest and keep you guessing every step of the way. Her stories keep getting better, and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
Great Beach Read! Jade is a romance author who is rich, spoiled and doesn’t believe in romance since dumping her no good fiance’. Aiden is a Navy SEAL just returning from a mission. When these two meet it is not the greatest love match. This story is short, fun, a little sexy and romantic and a great HEA to end with! I really enjoyed it!
Audio review ( I love the narration of this story and it makes a good book even better. It is a fun story to perk up mundane chores aor a long boring drive)
Jade: Perfect Match is a fun story.
Jade is a wealthy Heiress and author. Her friend Dani won an all-expenses-paid trip on Perfect Match but she is engaged and talks Jade into going. The deal is she has to spend a week with a man chosen for her by Perfect match. She makes a profile she thinks no man will choose but when she gets there she finds herself paired off with a sex Navy Seal.
Aiden has no desire for romance but his mom has other plans setting him up with Perfect Match. He goes so he can meet up with his favorite author for an interview to be a coAuthor. A little fun with a pretty woman couldn’t hurt either.
They find they have to spend time together on film for an ad for Perfect Match.
Jade is witty and snarky. She is a spoiled little rich girl. I loved the fact she is an author and not only a romance author but a mystery/suspense author.
Aiden is a sexy Navy Seal and sexy. He is arrogant but has a good heart as well.
I loved the storyline and the romance.
If you are looking for a great summer read, this is a good one!
I liked Aiden and Jade and enjoyed their adventures on the island. I also liked their exploration of what makes a good author. The book was more sensual and had more innuendo than I, personally, like in the sweet romance I read, though.
