Sweat Match: A Grumpy Sunshine Romantic Comedy

by Ava Cole

As a top dog lawyer in bustling NYC, I thought I had it all— Then, boom! Mom's sick, and I'm dragged back to small-town Clinton Hills. There, I’m forced to confront difficult memories and the reasons why I left in the first place.

And guess who I run into?— Liam's not your average Joe—he's a quirky, awkward game developer who shakes up my world faster than you can say "rom-com cliché."

As we navigate the hilarious chaos of our budding romance, I'm torn between my big-city dreams and Liam's irresistible charm in a small town. Spoiler he's winning.

With every goofy grin and cheesy joke, he's breaking down my walls faster than I can say legal jargon.

There's an electric spark between us that just won't quit.

But as the clock ticks towards goodbye, I'm faced with the ultimate stick to the script or throw caution to the wind or surrender to the siren call of my heart. Buckle up, folks—it's going to be one heck of a rollercoaster ride!

Let's first talk about the HOTTIE on the cover. WOW I would take him any day. Next comes the actual book from cover to the ending and it is going to WOW you BIG TIME. I found that Sydney and Liam's characters were page turning and romantic that gives you just the right amount of intense HEAT and SPICE you are looking for in a book. I am not one to write about the STEAMY details of a book because then it's like spoiling a HUGE surprise. I will say that Ava writes very very well and if you have never read anything by her you should because her books are DYNAMITE and full of everything you want in a good romance book. So, I suggest you start reading this 5/5 STAR read today and see how wonderful Sydney and Liam really are.

This was Liam and Sydney’s story. She’s a top dog lawyer in bustling NYC. And thought she had it all— Then, boom! Reality strikes. Mom's sick, and she’s dragged back to small-town Clinton Hills. Where she’s forced to confront difficult memories and the reasons why she left in the first place. She meets Liam. He’s a quirky, awkward game developer who shakes up her world. They have great chemistry. But as the clock ticks towards goodbye, she’s faced with the ultimate dilemma: stick to the script or throw caution to the wind and surrender to the siren call of her heart. This was an emotional roller coaster for me. And voluntarily leaving this review.

Great story!

Liam is a gamer, he has made games and fixes bugs. He lost his father when he was young and is afraid of lots of people and doesn’t have relationships. His landlady had a heart attack and he ended to call her daughter. When she got to the hospital, Liam thinks she is so beautiful. He is shy and afraid to talk. Sydney thinks he’s crazy. She always pushes people away but something about Liam has her interested.
