Title: Not Your Match
Author: Lindzee Armstrong
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Snowflake Press
In this second installment of the No Match for Love series,
we meet Andi Harmon. If you’ve read the first book, you’ll remember Andi is the
girl who helps Luke with his plan to win Brooke’s love. Andi is a lawyer, who
is getting burnt out from her job and is dealing with the breakup with her ex
Marc. Andi’s life is soon turned in a positive direction when her high-school
friend/dance partner Ben moves back to town. Ben moves across the hall from
Andi in her apartment building and the two begin to reconnect and spend time
together teaching dance to kids. Sparks ignite between Andi and Ben when they
realize the true feelings they’ve had for each other all along. However, their
relationship is complicated with the disapproval of Rachel, Ben’s sister and
Andi best friend, along with Andi’s fake showmance with Luke Ryder, and the
reappearance of Ben’s ex-fiancée, Whitney.
I was glad the author explored Andi in Now Your Match, after
reading the first volume I was curious what happened to her and I was happy to
read more about her in this installment. I loved Andi’s character, she had a
warm personality and was a sweetheart, and she wanted to do something
worthwhile in her life by helping others, instead of handling divorce cases.
Andi’s good nature showed when she agreed to help Luke win over Brooke and when
she and Ben started teaching dance for her friend’s charity program.
As for Ben, I liked him with Andi and I was rooting for them
to confess their feelings to each other. I liked Ben’s backstory with his
girlfriend, Whitney, who suffered from bipolar disorder. I loved how the author
handled the issue of writing about Whitney and the pain Ben felt in trying to
help her, yet she refused his help. Reading about Ben, you feel bad for what he
and Whitney have gone through. I liked how Ben struggled with his guilt over
Whitney, even though their relationship was over, he still felt a need to help
her.
My one critique with the book is the ending, I didn’t like
the way it wrapped up, especially with the way one character was treated. I
would’ve liked an epilogue, where it explained what happened to everyone and
showed that they got their happy ending.
*I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest
review.*
