Make Me a Match #1
Romance Reset
Thirty-eight-year-old set designer Amelia Parker is on a mission to get pregnant—soon. That’s why she’s researching sperm banks and procedures. It’s also why her best friend hires a matchmaker for her. She insists Amelia deserves—needs—a romance reset before she embarks on single parenthood.
Widower Lincoln Hayes is about to be an empty nester with his twins going off to college. He’s ready to have some fun, but he doesn’t want to do it alone. Dating, though.... Staying offline and hiring a matchmaker who vets his dates makes sense.
Imagine Lincoln’s surprise when his first date in twenty years is actually his first love, the one who broke his heart and got away. Amelia is shocked to see Lincoln, and the chemistry between them is as strong as ever. Amelia can easily imagine having Lincoln’s baby— but is her biological clock and desire for a child more than Lincoln can handle?

A sweet single dad / second chance romance. Amelia is desperate for a baby and her biological clock is ticking. She has an appointment set to attend a sperm clinic but her best friend talks her into not forsaking love and giving a matchmaker a chance. She is set up with Lincoln who is widowed with 18 year old twins. He also happens to be the one who got away. Chemistry is still there but Amelia doesn’t Know how to broach the subject of kids. When she eventually does Linc is a bit freaked out but it all ends happily ever after. I would have liked more about the pregnancy and after the birth but that might be included in the 2nd book in the series

Fun read
Lovely story with a quirky plot.
Finished it in one go. There's humor and plenty of family drama in this second chance romance. The two main characters have depth and the chemistry between them was great.

*spoilers*
I liked both Lincoln and Amelia. However, I think the progression of their relationship was a bit fast paced considering that it had been 20 years since they saw each other and Lincoln was still getting over his deceased wife. The pregnancy situation should’ve been explored more, I think Lincoln agreed to have a baby really quickly for someone who was opposed to it at first. I would’ve liked to see more of Amelia’s actual pregnancy since that was the main point of the book. That being said, it was an okay read.

Realistic, beautiful, moving, inspirational
This story was so realistic and will make you want to believe true love is real. I love how the love never died, but grew in their hearts. I found that even knowing the nasty break up they had, both found the forgiveness in their heart and minds for a second chance. Well written and very clean yet the story moves you into keep turning the page to find wht happens next. Highly recommended for anyone to read.

Romance Reset follows the story of Amelia and Lincoln, two former high school sweethearts who reconnect decades later. At 18, Lincoln proposed, but Amelia turned him down, and they went their separate ways. Fast forward to their late thirties: Amelia is anxious about starting a family before time runs out. Her best friend Izzy hires a matchmaker, only for fate to pair Amelia with none other than Lincoln—now a widower raising twins.
The premise sets up the perfect “second chance romance.” Amelia and Lincoln rekindle their relationship, but complications quickly surface. Lincoln isn’t ready to dive back into fatherhood so soon; his dream is to travel once his twins leave for college. When his teenage daughter has a pregnancy scare, Amelia realizes their priorities may never align. She walks away, unwilling to settle for less than what she wants: a family of her own.
Of course, this is romance—so Lincoln eventually comes around. He proposes again, embraces Amelia’s dream, and together they end up with their own set of twins.
While the story has its sweet moments, it doesn’t stray far from the familiar beats of a Hallmark movie. The biggest conflict is relatively tame, and outside of the pregnancy scare subplot, there isn’t much tension to keep the pages turning. It’s a wholesome story about love, timing, and second chances, but it leans heavily on predictability.
For readers who enjoy gentle, feel-good romance without heavy drama, this book delivers. But if you’re looking for something layered, complex, or emotionally gripping, you may find it too plain. Personally, I’d give it three stars: warm and comforting, but lacking the spark to make it unforgettable.

Through their journey, the narrative dances between heartache and hope, crafting a delicate balance that mirrors the intricacies of real relationships.
Lyons' settings are more than mere backdrops; they pulse with life, grounding the story in a world that feels tangible and vibrant. Whether it’s the quiet solitude of reflective moments or the electric spark of rekindled passion, the author’s attention to detail immerses the reader in every scene.
Ultimately, *Romance Reset* is not just a romance—it is a celebration of the human spirit's capacity to rebuild, forgive, and love anew.

Thank you. Next.
There are a number of problematic issues with this book. Creatively, the names of the fictional characters are not good. Meli as a nickname for Amelia was odd and too close to the similarly strange name choice, Marsali. Izzy/Eliza made it seem like the author couldn’t choose between the names and decided to use both.
Speaking of Izzy, the character was not nearly as funny as the author might have presumed in the writing process. In fact, the character and her attitude toward infertility treatments was cringe-worthy.
As it was, Izzy and the matchmaking contrivance was just filler to pad the book beyond a short-story or novella. It took fully 60% of the book before the author had Amelia get around to admitting to Lincoln that she wanted to settle down, get married, and have a baby. If anything, it seemed very weird that two people who are a thisclose to forty, wouldn’t discuss such important topics on a first date - before any emotions come into play. Without getting into fertility or whatnot, surely they have the maturity to be honest about whether or not they are using the matchmaking service because they’re interested in casually dating or a serious relationship. In fact, why wouldn’t they have told their matchmaker about their relationship goals prior to the set-up? Marriage and kids are a massive deal/dealbreaker.

This was a charming and sweet clean romance! I fell in love with the characters right away. They were realistic and touched your heart. The book was fast-paced, interesting, and easy to read. Thirty-eight-year-old Amelia Parker is worried her window for getting pregnant is getting shorter. She has given up on finding love and is looking into sperm banks when her best friend convinces her to let a matchmaker set her up with some men. Amelia reluctantly agrees to go out on three dates and if that doesn’t work, she will continue with her plan. She never expects to be matched with her high school boyfriend. Widower Lincoln Hayes is about to have an empty house after his twins go off to college. He decides to let a matchmaker set him up on a few dates hoping to find someone to help with the loneliness he is experiencing. He was very surprised when his first love who had refused his wedding proposal showed up to his date. He eventually decided to go out again with Amelia and as they continue to date, he realizes he still loves her. Will Amelia’s decision to have a child ruin their second chance at love or will Lincoln figure out having more children could be a good thing?

Well-written but a really stupid twist
I really enjoyed this book until about 65% in. The last 35% ruined it for me, though.
***Spoilers***
The whole setup of the book is that the MFC is 37 and really wants children. Dating hasn't worked out, so she's made an appointment to be inseminated with donor sperm.
Her BFF strongly disapproves and ambushes her with a matchmaker. MFC agrees to go on some dates but keeps her appointment at the fertility clinic. The matchmaker is told many times by MFC and BFF that having a child is the highest priority for MFC.
It is said many, many times that the matchmaker has a 92% success rate. Yet somehow, !!!TWIST!!! MFC's match doesn't want children because they already have 18yo twins.
How would such an amazing matchmaker match MFC with a guy who doesn't want kids!?!? An online dating algorithm wouldn't match her with a guy who doesn't want kids.
The twist was telegraphed for a couple chapters before the reveal, and once I saw it, it completely took me out of the story. The resolution was equally dumb, and even though I finished the book, it wasn't satisfying.

Lived, Loved, and Learned
What is not to love about a Kay Lyons book. In the seventh series of her amazing series, Amelia Parker and Lincoln Hayes were old friends. Can they find their way back to each other.
I want to share parts of the book:
"Man, do you have it bad!"
"Come on, Dad. She seemed nice enough or you wouldn't have introduced her to me and Bree."
later on... "You weren't serious about wanting kids, right?" "That was... I don't know, a joke?"
Amelia wasn't joking. She wanted a be a mother. And seeing as how she waited so long, the sooner the better. But Lincoln was about to have a empty nest for the first time in his life. He was a guardian at eighteen ...and he's about to find out he's going to be a grandfather in a matter of minutes.
"You expect me to add a kid to that?" (Chapter 13)
I am moving on to the to the next book in this series, looking forward to finding out what single dad Carter Hayes and wedding planner Eliza Bellefonte have on the bargaining table.
Reading is an adventure that never ends.

Excellent choice for a romance read
Sweet little story. Charming and unusual premise. Enjoyable enough to recommend.
Has an extra word that should have been proofed out. And two inconsistency issues. The biggest is a confusion in arithmetic. The MCs are each 38 years old. They broke up at 18, and as the h says, she's been dating for 23 years since then, making her 41.
The other is a case where a character references 'your party' to the H, but it was not the H's party, rather a friend's party.
While these are annoying, and dull the luster of a lovely book, there are sweet and genius moments contained herein, as well.

It is a well written story, kept my interest and I read it in 2 days. Light reading, happy ending. There were enough plot twists to keep it from being boring - some nice tender scenes - and some fun ones. I liked the book and am seriously thinking I will get the next in the series. All the characters were nice and believable. No graphic sex.

Clean good modern romance
The story seemed fast but was really good. The "problem" that arose was easily figured out, so I was a little disappointed in that. Definitely no mystery or surprises in the book. But it was nice to read about someone closer to 40 instead of 20, as I'm over 60 & still like to read romances.

This intriguing story drew me in and had me caught up in it. It is a well written story that had me connecting with the heroine who is in for a surprise when she reconnects with Lincoln a man from her past. Will they rekindle the love once had and will this time around have them finding their happily ever after?

Loved everything about it!!
Great read. It’s not often that a book captures my attention like this one did. Amelia was a bit wonky in the very beginning of the story, but as soon as she met Lincoln, she came to life. If Mr Right ever entered my atmosphere, he would be Lincoln. Not to mention, the supporting characters were pretty awesome. Couldn’t put it down.

July 2, 2023It was hard to get to know the protagonists when the side characters were so obnoxious and pushy. I seriously wanted to punch both Izzy and Carter at various times. Added to that is a second chance romance with twenty years gone by, and I was done. Not a fan of that trope in the first place, and adding in the annoying interactions with the other characters, I just had to bail at 39% in.

[1 star] book was pretty bland, there wasn't enough development and character background. also, i think the book need to edit as ".... she died in a car accident like this parents." - i presume it should be "his parents"?

Second time around
Very interesting book and all the odds that they would meet again. The story line was easy to follow and you felt like you were there trying to help them decide if they could try again.

You can't get a romance any better than this. Two wonderful characters, a storyline that flows, and a feel-good ending. It's a keeper for me to be re-read again and again. No sex or foul language with a happily ever after ending.

quick and sweet
How does a matchmaker wind up setting you up with the person you dated and loved way back in high school? It just means that Amelia and Lincoln were meant to be. I enjoyed ever bit of their story.

This was a very good book! It wasn’t hot & steamy but, it showed the love in the characters, Amelia & Lincoln & they getting together 20 years after they were high school sweethearts! Izzy & Carter we’re also very good characters as well as Lincoln’s twins!I would recommend reading this book!
