Matching Melissa
The holidays have arrived in Downtown Strawbridge and Melissa Stathem’s Café Flamingo is hopping. Her catering business is humming. And a new food truck is in her future. Love is not in the picture and she’s perfectly fine with that.
But after the new psychic in town predicted that Melissa’s true love is someone she already knows, the Divas of Downtown Strawbridge decide to help her find out who he is by setting her up with the best possible candidates.
Romantic dinners and picnics in the park aren’t on the menu, however. After Melissa recently put them through a series of wacky ghost challenges, the Divas feel a bit of playful revenge is in order.
Throw her high school crush and new landlord, Ryan Duval, into the mix—not the one who got away, but the one she never got—and Melissa’s holidays become crazier than ever.
From one zany, and a tad humiliating, date to the next, Melissa grudgingly goes along, all the while wondering if true love is actually possible for a work-obsessed person like herself.

I truly enjoyed this book as its rare to read with a female lead that is in their late 20's to early 30's. It had a good balance of humorous moments with some memorable quotes such as 'kiss my grits' (which I will be using from now on). The story was interesting to have the male lead be in every dating scene as the female lead which led to some personal confrontation of her feelings for a former high school crush. PS this is a clean romance, so if anyone who enjoys books with no spice, this is the one for you.
