This set contains the first 3 books in the No Match for Love series. You can read them separately but it's nice to read them in order since some of the characters are in all 3 books. I liked all the books in the set and look forward to reading the rest of the No Match for Love series.
Miss Match: A sweet story about long time friends realizing they're in love. Actually it was the girl realizing she had fallen for her best friend. Luke sounds like the perfect boyfriend and not just because he's gorgeous and a billionaire. He's thoughtful, knows how to make you laugh and is always there when you need him. I think deep down in her heart Brooke knew she was in love with Luke, but was scared to admit it. Her parents' divorce, because of her dad's affair, really messed her up, and her mom's constant "men can't be trusted" made Brooke skittish. She was afraid if she and Luke didn't work out she'd lose her best friend. As for Brooke's fiance, Antonio, I didn't like him from the beginning. He didn't support her friendship with Luke, who she had been friends with since high school, and he treated her career as if it didn't matter--that his was more important. I'm glad she caught him with another woman because it relieved any guilt she may have had over breaking their engagement.
Not Your Match: Andi, the girl Luke was fake-dating in Miss Match, has just been dumped by her boyfriend of 7 yrs.!! Some of the scenes are the same as in Miss Match but this is from Andi's point of view, which was fun to read. Handling prenups and divorces, plus her recent breakup, makes Andi feel like true love doesn't exist. Andi's best friend, Rachel, has a brother, Ben, who's recently moved to L.A. after his fiancée broke up with him for the 3rd time. He and Andi were ballroom dance partners in high school, and now they're neighbors. I liked Andi and Ben together, especially the dancing scenes. I love ballroom dance and easily pictured the scenes in my head as I read. I didn't care for Rachel for most of the book. She really needed to mind her own business. I thought the bi-polar storyline was handled well. I thought Andi and Ben would end up together but there was the possibility he would go back to take care of his ex-fiancée. This was my favorite story in the set.
Mix 'N Match: This is the final chapter in Brooke and Luke's story, but it's all about Zoey (Brooke's best friend) and Mitch (Luke's assistant and best friend). The paparazzi are trying to find out when and where Brooke and Luke's wedding will be, so Zoey and Mitch are sent to Paris to handle all the final details. Zoey and Mitch are like oil and water--she's spontaneous and can be a bit outrageous, while Mitch is all about following the plan and keeping things under control. Zoey got on my nerves the way she dealt with the reporter following them around. Sometimes spontaneous is good and sometimes it doesn't help solve the problem. She also didn't seem to understand why Mitch was so responsible and not into spur of the moment things. He had taken on a lot of responsibility at a young age and didn't have time for a lot of fun. I was glad to see him loosen up a bit and for her to understand that she needed to give in a little sometimes. I liked all the descriptions of the places around Paris since I'll probably never see them in person. They both realized sometimes you have to give in a little when you're in love. It was nice to see both couples get their happy endings.

Miss Match: Very cute story! I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and the characters and their interactions. It was predictable, but it kept me wanting to read it and to find out how Luke and Brooke's relationship would evolve. It made me laugh at times. While Toujour as a matchmaking company seemed a little "out there" to me, I still enjoyed the concept and how it played into the story. I liked the relationship rules at the beginning of the book and then the new relationship rules at the end, and also how those were weaved into the story as it moved along. I will definitely be finishing this series and looking forward to reading more about Toujour and also looking forward to more from this author.
Not Your Match: This story follows along the same time frame as the first one, only focusing on Andi's behind-the-scenes romance instead of Luke and Brooke's. There are a few scenes there were the same from the first book, only this time told from Andi's point of view. I liked that tie-in between the stories and how it helped to draw the characters together and give more background of what was going on. I really liked Andi and her interests, as well as her struggles with being a part of her dad's law firm and how she had to work on the drudgery cases before he would let her work on whatever she wanted. Ben's struggle with his heartbreak over Whitney and how he had to learn to deal with her psychological problems and moving on away from her added a heavier layer to this story. Ben's sister Rachel added a frustrating element to the story, for me. I also really liked the element of dance added to the story and the descriptions of Ben and Andi dancing, plus the setting of the charity. I've enjoyed this series so far and am looking forward to the rest of the books!
Mix 'N Match: ** spoiler alert ** This story branches out from Brooke and Luke to their best friends Zoey and Mitch. I felt like I missed somehow in the first book that tells Brooke and Luke's story the kiss between Zoey and Mitch that keeps being referred to in this book, but the story moves along with some antagonism between the two main characters based off a misunderstanding surrounding this kiss, some personality differences, and a paparazzi turning up to try to ruin Brooke and Luke's wedding. I enjoyed the settings of Disneyland for the bridal shower and Paris (Versailles) for the weddings. The characters both realize their feelings for each other and how they can make it work while at the same time resolving some issues in their personal lives. Another great addition to the matchmaking series. I look forward to seeing how the other books revolve around Toujour and if any of these characters recur in future books.
Overall, this series is fun, well-written, and entertaining. I'm really enjoying this series and this author!

Romance, clean, PG-13
This was a cute series. I had read them each separately, and reading them consecutively again, made it a better read for me as a reader. The second book in this box set, Not Your Match, was my favorite. Some smart characters, and some good writing that I connected with as a reader. The first and second were good reads for me, more 3.5. I did love Brooke and Luke's story, I always root for the friend who loves the other friend. The interesting setting with Toujour was fun, and seeing hwo Brooke was able to see her friend in a different way, in the midst of trying to figure out her feelings with the man she was engaged to. Friends always make the best romantic interests! Their attraction was the best.
Not Your Match was my favorite of all there. Andi was introduced in the first novel of this box set as a side character. Her sass and wit, her ability to call things as they are, except where Ben was involved as she tried to do the 'right' thing, the honorable thing, while Ben (and his sister!) figured out exactly where he stood with his ex-fiance, was a beautiful, lovely coming together. Their attraction and chemistry in their dance moves, made for a lovely read. While the reader knew it was coming, it was still a definite, dance as they moved into their new 'present' relationship, based on their friendship, and attraction from the past. Andi's healing heart, gave way to Ben's crush, that never really was gone! Loved it! A beautiful dance of a read.
Mix and Match was another good read. Zoey and Mitch's story, was interesting, their hearts definitely interesting to see them open up their attraction to some real feelings and fun. A good read, and fun setting! The twist at the end, and their decision to make things 'real' was a cute way to tie it up. So glad to see the rest of Brooke and Luke's HEA too!
I received a copy from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review (although I had read all the stories before from Prime free, but hadn't reviewed them.) My opinions are my own, and in no way influenced by the author.

You will not go wrong with this three book set...
Miss Match
I Love Lindzee Armstrong style of writing. She draws you in and keeps you turning the pages from the start of the book until the last page.
In Miss Match we get to know Brooke and Luke. Brooke manages a special kind of dating service and Luke is her best friend AND he is rich, rich, rich. Luke will do anything for her because not only is her Brooke's bestie he is head over heels in love with her. BUT of course she doesn't see it and is engaged to someone else.
Not Your Match
I really enjoy Lindzee Armstrong's books. They are so much fun to read and I can usually sit and read them in one night. This book had me wanting to learn to dance and let me say I CAN'T DANCE! You do not have to read book the other books in this series to get what is going on but i have to say you will want to because they are really good.
In this book we get to know Andi and Ben. They grew up together and were dance partners in high school. Andi dated the same dude all the way thru high school and college. WOW right. And Ben well when we start this book he is engaged.Come find out what happens and if that stays that way. This book had me laughing and it also had me in tears. It is a very good book with great depth and it has a deep message in it as well as light hearted love too.
Mix N' Match
In this book we get to see the next step in Brooke and Luke's relationship while at the same time we see how Zoey handles possibly falling in love herself. This book had me laughing at times when I saw the way the press acted and the Brooke? Oh Me oh my. That girl. And we really get to know Zoey inside and out as well.

A 5* box set
Miss Match
Delightful! Fun!
The story is about Luke, a billionaire, and Brooke, a matchmaker. Luke is in love with her, but she is engaged to Antonio. How to win her over?
At the beginning I didn’t like Luke. Out of control, drinking too much… I found it hard to really FEEL the story and I felt disappointed. I thought: ‘this is not my world’. But isn’t reading (among other things) about expanding your world? So I decided to give it a real try. And despite myself, after a while, I started to get interested. And it quickly went from ‘this is just mediocre’, to ‘hey, I’m starting to like it’ to ‘oh, I really like it now’, to ‘I love it’ to ‘this is amazing!’ So I’m glad I gave it a serious chance. I’m REALLY glad I got over that initial thought process that turned out to be completely wrong! A whirlwind of emotions and I just couldn’t put it down anymore. It’s a clean romance but not timid in any way. A great book that’ll make you feel all romantic!
Not Your Match
Love is worth the risk
This is book 2 in the No Match For Love series. We go back in time a little bit. A time when Luke was still looking for dates through matchmaking company Toujour. You CAN read this book as a standalone, but it’s much more fun to read book 1 first. That way you already know about Toujour and Luke. And how Andi was one of Luke’s dates and how they faked a relationship for good reasons. Now we get to see things from Andi’s POV, which was really nice.
Andi has been hurt in the past and now believes that relationships aren’t worth the trouble. Being a lawyer who handles a lot of divorces doesn’t help her believe in love. Can she start believing in love again?
Ben is hurting now. His fiancée (or rather ex- fiancée) has broken up with him, and this time he is trying to make a life for himself elsewhere. Without her. He still has feelings for her even though she has hurt him time and time again. Can he let go of Whitney and all the drama that surrounds her?
Ben finds that Andi is easy to talk to, she’s perceptive and compassionate and fun. Andi finds that Ben is caring, kind and also fun. They were so nice together!
So many modern romance books focus a lot on the physical. Here the focus lies on the inside. I love love loved that. This book hugged me, welcomed me in. I felt at home. It just felt so right! It was so sweet! It really moved me. I love this friends-to-lovers trope. And it was executed so very well! I wanted to read as fast as I could to find out what happened next while at the same time I wanted to slow down so the book would never ever end.
Mix ‘N Match
Entertaining, fun and a bit crazy ;)
These books can be read as standalones, but for this particular installment I would recommend reading book #1 first. Brooke and Luke from book #1 have a significant role in this book. This one’s about Brooke’s best friend Zoey and Luke’s best friend slash personal assistant Mitch. Zoey and Mitch are so different. They argue. Oh, they argue! Mitch is sensible and organized, but a bit uptight. Zoey is charismatic and spontaneous, but a little chaotic. Will they bridge the distance?
I loved it. It was entertaining, fun and a bit crazy ;). I think it would make a good movie! I almost couldn’t make myself stop reading. I was actually kind of sad when I finished the book, because I had to say goodbye to my new ‘friends’ :)

No Match for Love Volume One Box Set is a must read clean-romance. First book Miss Match is about two best friends Luke and Brooke. Luke has always carry a torch for Brooke but was discourage with Brooke's rejection when he wanted something more than friendship. Brooke, after seeing her father goes from one relationship to another, doesn't want to jeopardize her friendship with Luke. With some help from their friends, Brooke might be able to take a chance with Luke.
The second book, Not Your Match is a wonderful story of Andi, whom listeners/readers met in Miss Match. Andi has a crush on her high school friend, Ben. But Ben's sister has set Ben with her other best friend. Will Andi and Ben be able to get pass their family and friends' expectation to find their love match with each other? This book reflects the wonderful talent of Lindzee Armstrong of having two stories, Miss Match and Not Your Match to happen concurrently with each other. I strongly recommend listeners/readers to listen/read Miss Match first to know Andi.
Mix 'N Match is Zoe and Mitch's story which listeners/readers met in Miss Match. Zoe is Brooke's best friend but is unable to tell Brooke of her dreams and creativity. Mitch has always been Luke's organized personal assistant. If anyone was not a love match, it would have been Zoe and Mitch. As both deal with planning Luke and Brooke's wedding on opposite side of the spectrum of agreeing to disagree, these two just prove that they are wrong for each other.
The narrator Tiffany Williams does a great job for all three books. She has very good infliction with the voices of the characters. I hope she comes back for the next books in the No Match for Love series.
This box set is a great deal for new listeners/readers to start off with and if they are not familiar with the author, Lindzee Armstrong's books. Miss Match will leads listeners/readers to find out is Andi would get her HEA and a clue that Zoe and Mitch's story is to come.
I was given an audiobook from the author. I decided to write an unbiased review for the book. I was not compensated or influenced in anyway for writing this review.

Words cannot adequately express how much I've truly enjoyed the entire No Match for Love series! Miss Match is the perfect escape for the stresses of everyday life. It is the 1st book in the No Match for Love series and it has everything that I enjoy in a romance - great characters, a little conflict, and true love that prevails in the end.
Not Your Match, the second book in the series, accurately portrays the struggles of how one feels ending a long term relationship. It also adequately expresses the excitement of falling in love again, as if for the first time. My heart bled for Ben as he dealt with his conflicting emotions over telling his ex-financee that they were done for good when she came back begging him to take her back (after she broke off the engagement for the third time). Ben cared for his ex, but realized that she is no longer the girl he fell in love with in college 4 years ago and he needed out of the relationship for good to maintain his sanity and to find happiness.
The 3rd book in the set is Mix 'N Match, which is a wonderful opposites attract romance. It is a story about how the maid of honor and the best man of a semi-famous couple prevent the media from crashing their best friends wedding in France (the couple getting married are Brooke and Luke from the 1st book in the series). Zoey is a matchmaker whose free spirit frequently gets her in trouble and Mitch is the personal assistant to Luke who is all too frequently working "crisis management."
Narrator Tiffany Williams is simply fantastic in all three books. Tiffany's style is very natural with smooth overtones and subtle character nuances. I get totally immersed when listening to her narrations, frequently listening in my car after pulling into the garage. I highly recommend this entire series!
Not Your Match, the second book in the series, accurately portrays the struggles of how one feels ending a long term relationship. It also adequately expresses the excitement of falling in love again, as if for the first time. My heart bled for Ben as he dealt with his conflicting emotions over telling his ex-financee that they were done for good when she came back begging him to take her back (after she broke off the engagement for the third time). Ben cared for his ex, but realized that she is no longer the girl he fell in love with in college 4 years ago and he needed out of the relationship for good to maintain his sanity and to find happiness.
The 3rd book in the set is Mix 'N Match, which is a wonderful opposites attract romance. It is a story about how the maid of honor and the best man of a semi-famous couple prevent the media from crashing their best friends wedding in France (the couple getting married are Brooke and Luke from the 1st book in the series). Zoey is a matchmaker whose free spirit frequently gets her in trouble and Mitch is the personal assistant to Luke who is all too frequently working "crisis management."

All the books are very enjoyable. The three books are a series but each book is a standalone read. . The stories are set in California and they all circle around the billionaire and his company. There are no actual sex scenes.
MISS MATCH - The first in the series is about Brooke and Luke. they have known each other for years. In high school they were best friends. They have been in love forever but just did not know it. He is the CEO of his fathers company now that his father has died. She is a matchmaker and matched herself to the man she is now engaged to. But she seems to always make the newspaper headlines with Luke.
NOT YOUR MATCH-This story is Ben and Andi's story. Andi is a family law attorney. She is not really happy with the direction her career is going and she works for her father .Her busy body friend Rachael signs Andi up with Brooks matchmaking company and she gets matched with Luke. But she really only wants Bens.
MIX N' MATCH-This story is Zoey and Mitch. Zoey is Brooke's best friend, roommate and co-worker. Mitch is the PA to Luke. Brook and Luke are going to get married. Luke has asked his assistant Mitch to go to Paris with Zoey to get everything ready for the wedding. Zoey goes because she wants the wedding to be perfect. She is always fighting with Mitch. Want to know what happens get the book.
I read each of these books while listening to the audio version of the book. This was the second time I read the books. The audio version is great. The lady does a wonderful job reading the book to you. I would suggest buying both you won't regret it.

No Match for Love Volume 1 Box Set includes three books: Miss Match, Not Your Match, and Mix 'N Match. In each story, the narrator was enjoyable to listen to.
Miss Match
Brook and Luke have been best friends for a long time. Luke is in love with Brooke, but Brooke set rules back in high school and won't allow anything more than friendship. Brooke is engaged, and working to save her matchmaking business. She asks Luke to help her. Things don't go as Brooke thought she wanted. Will she realize before it's too late who she really belongs with? A great story that I truly enjoyed. I highly recommend this book!
Not Your Match
Andi is to the point where she doesn't believe in love anymore. Too much has gone wrong. When Ben, her best friend's brother, moves in across the hall from her, the sparks fly. Ben has been dumped yet again. As they get to know each other on a deeper level, the past comes back to try to ruin any possibilities. This story was very enjoyable, and I definitely recommend it.
Mix 'N Match
Mix 'N Match is the third book in the No Match for Love series. Opposites attract but sometimes they don’t. Zoey and Mitch are trying to plan their best friends' wedding and remain under the radar to keep the paparazzi away. Will they be able to do it? Will sparks fly? I enjoyed Zoey and Mitch's story.

Miss Match - I loved having more of Luke and Brook's story. Tiffany did an awesome job expressing everything between these two. I loved how this story felt real and honest even if Brook was a bit of a stubborn idiot. Between Lindzee and Tiffany you really feel the emotions and mood shifts and can't help but to be drawn in for more and more of the story.
Not Your Match - I loved getting to listen to Andi and Ben's story. While at times I felt sorry for Ben and everything he put up with while he was with Whitney. I'm happy he got to be with someone as amazing as Andi. The sweet romance and long buried love of these two was so wonderful to wait it bloom. Tiffany put an amazing voice to Lindzee's beautiful words and made it so much easier to fall in love with their love story.
Mix N'Match - I loved Tiffany narrating this story and how much she made me laugh. She did an amazing job portraying Zoey and her awesomeness. I loved hearing Zoey and Mitch and how they took a windey zig zaggy way to find love. I loved how they clashed but in a way that ended up making both of them better people in the end. I can't believe how awesome of a story Lindzee wrote and I loved the entire story and all the moments that added up and made it so amazing. (Did I mention I LOVED it?)

I really enjoyed reading this No Match for Love box set.
In the first book, Miss Match, Brooke and Luke have been friends since high school. Brooke is a matchmaker and Luke is a player. When Luke asks Brooke to be a matchmaker for him, that is when things get very interesting. The problem - Luke has been in love with Brooke since high school. Brooke knows Luke is a player and has a set of rules that they follow. Can Luke get Brooke to break the rules?
In the second book, Not Your Match, Andi's best friend buys her a subscription to a matchmaking service to get her out there. Problem - Andi has been in love with her ballroom dancing partner since high school, Ben. Second problem - Ben is her best friend's brother. When Ben's fiancee calls off their wedding for the third time, Ben comes home. Andi and Ben are asked to help out in a teen center but between a fake boyfriend for Andi and Ben's ex comes around, things get a little dicey.
In the third book, Luke and Brooke are finally getting married. Problem is the paparazzi are swarming to get pictures and Luke and Brooke want to keep it private. They enlist the help of their friends. Zoey is the maid of honor and Mitch is the best man. They are sent to France to help finish off the wedding plans and keep everything on the low key. When they are having a problem doing this, they decide to fake a wedding for them. Problem - they drive each other crazy.
Loved reading these books. Cute, funny, lovable, and fun!

Cute, short books. Glad they were free as they felt more like novellas.
Miss Match: From reading the descriptions, I thought this one would be my favorite since it was a best friends to more romance, but it just wasn't. Mostly because I really don't like when girls are so "I love him and I love him blah blah." Brooke wasn't quite that way, but her super unrealistic expectations of getting married but still having Luke as her best friend even after he declared his love for her was just frustratingly annoying...
Not Your Match: This was definitely my favorite of the three. Ben and Andi are fantastic together!
Mix 'n Match: Cute. I liked Zoey and Mitch together, but them getting married for reals was just a little too far-fetched for me.

Miss Match - This well written romance takes place eight years after they met in high school. The characters, from Meet Your Match, are still believable, the dialogue realistic and the plot well thought out, fun with a touch of sadness. Definitely, a great relationship romance.
Not Your Match - Heartwarming. Another well written, funny romance with believable characters and an interesting plot. This book is just as hard to put down as the other books by the author. The author writes substantial stories that reflect real life; not the fluffy, cozy type of books that are so common.
Mix 'N Match - Paris sounds like fun. Heartwarming. A well written, funny romance with believable characters, realistic dialog and an interesting plot. I couldn't put the book down until the last word.

This series of books is very funny. Each book covers a couple. Loved each book. All are 5 stars.
Miss Match (Book 1)
This is a cute romance where she’s engaged to another man and her friend has loved her for eight years. She has rules so they can still be friends. She is my strong woman in this story because of her rules.
Not Your Match (Book 2)
My strong woman is a lawyer in her father’s law firm. Her best friend does something to help her personal life and Andi is unhappy about it.
Mix ‘n Match (Book 3)
I really can’t say that there is a strong woman in this book. The main character is a woman full of spontaneity . I don’t know which book is my favorite. Maybe this one.

This is a lovely compilation of romance novels that begins the No Match For Love series. Based around the workings of a match-making agency, Toujour, the stories bring together couples who may not have otherwise found each other. Each story focuses on a different couple and follows the 'will they, won't they' plot of a contemporary romance. You will also recognise characters from the other books and see them achieve their happily ever after.
If you want a series to get lost in on a cold winters day, curl up in front of the fire, pour a glass of wine and enjoy the flirty fun that comes when finding your 'one'

Such a great series!
I'm loving this series! It's engaging and the storylines are fun. It's a great way to pass the time. All are clean and very well written. The only thing I struggled with was the timeline in book 3. Meaning sometimes it said days went by but the earlier event was in the morning followed by "days" and then that evening or next morning the next "event" in the timeline happened - at least that's how it seemed to me while I was reading it. It overall all 3 were just fantastic!

Miss Match-4 stars-I really like Luke, he's got it bad for Brooke, who won't see him as anything other than her best friend. I feel sorry for him too, because he's lost his father, and is left to run the business his father started, so much responsibility.
So, he messes up for awhile, but then, with Brooke getting married and potentially moving to Italy, he steps up and finally starts to show her how he feels.
Brooke is sweet, helps Luke, her best friend, but keeps saying she loves Antonio, her fiancé.
I would have liked it better if Brooke had started to question loving Antonio sooner, because it would be easier to let that relationship go. He cheats on her right at the end, when he feels distance from her and things are already over between them. She kind of messes things up with Antonio.
Still, she admits how she feels to Luke, the two finally get together. Great book!
Mix n' Match-4 stars-Zoey is fun, spontaneous, and very loyal to Brooke, her best friend. Mitch is Luke's best friend, but is his assistant, and given loads to do, which he does very well, with lots of organization, planning, and structure.
They drive each other nuts. When they're sent to Paris to Help finalize wedding plans, they start out with lots of complaints, but their attraction is still pretty strong.
They also work together to get a paparazzo off their back, getting "fake" married in order to do so. Both scared of falling in love, they have to take a chance on each other.
Really good story.
Not Your Match-2 stars-I actually really like both Andi and Ben, but too much wasn't done well here. I disliked Rachel entirely, she seems selfish and immature, not a good friend or sister. Similarly with Whitney, whose bipolar is portrayed somewhat well, but who also seemed to have personality disorder which caused a lot of problems with everyone.
I liked the intersection of this story with Brooke and Luke's, and
more of that with Zooey and Mitch

Fabulously funny and romantic.
Three well written interconnected stories with great characters. All are based around a matchmaking service which instantly makes these books different from the usual boy meets girl romances. I loved all these stories but particularly enjoyed Mix 'n' Match. I thoroughly recommend this box set.

Love conquers all in the end
Great and believable storyline. Characters well developed and carried through the box set. Couldn't wait to see how long it would take for them to realize true love was right in front of them. Ms Armstrong didn't need graphic sex to keep the plot moving. Definitely want to read more of her romances.

You get so much packed into this series. It is fun getting to read stories about the different matchmakers. Each one has a different personality and type. Which makes for tons of heartwarming fun!
