I received this audiobook from the narrator for free in exchange for an honest review.
This review is a shortened version of the one I posted on my audiobook blog
The story initially made me think of the Calloway Sisters series, since the heroine Tamera struggled with unfortunate internet fame and countered it by taking part in a reality show.
This story is really adorable with lots of previous heartache and bad experiences. The two protagonists were absolutely likable. And I appreciated how Lindzee Armstrong created parallels between their experiences. What really stood out were the inner monologues in which the characters could truly relate to each other. How they act towards one another becomes understandable and meaningful. I could really appreciate how the storyline was constructed.
This is a “clean” romance. Even though I normally like my books dirty, it was a very entertaining novel and I didn’t miss any naughtier scenes. There were a lot of struggles and emotional wounds that the characters had to deal with. So it felt pretty natural that they would need the entirety of the book to really find each other.
Tiffany Williams did a wonderful narration. I think the ebook might have read a bit too sweet for me, but her voice gives Tamera substance and a little bit of an edge. This book is written in third person and has changing points of view, but only one narrator. This works just fine, since Tiffany Williams has honestly fantastic male voices. While the story is “clean” without any naughty scenes she still brings passion into it. Her ability to do different voices is great and it’s easy to differentiate between characters. The intonations made this a very captivating listen for me.
Despite it being a “sweet romance” it didn’t get boring. Quite the opposite actually! I finished it in two days and was always looking forward to listening. Since I’m a somewhat jaded listener, that is quite meaningful really.
I have to amend my initial statement a tiny bit though. While this is a stand-alone I feel I kind of missed out on Tamera’s backstory. I would have liked to know more details about her past experiences. I liked her but there were some hints that she was more of a villain in the first book. So it might be more enjoyable to read the first book in the series before this one.

This is sixth in a series, but holds up on its own, I think. Previous couples are present, but not overbearingly so.
I'm done at 55%. The main couple are great and Armstrong does a decent job with characterization. But there are two things dragging this down and they finally got to the point where I lost interest in continuing.
The first is that both protagonists have that lazy "my last relationship sucked so never again" flavor of negative motivation*. Yeah, selfish betrayers exist and it sucks when you get involved with one. And I can understand going on a break and catching your breath. But generalizing from that to commit your entire future to being alone is immature. And since both are wondering if they should date the other, neither actually believes it so it's just lazy conflict building.
The second is more subtle but is also what broke me. Romance novels sometimes have an active antagonist who is manipulative and selfish who undermines one or the other main characters. This is one of those. The thing is that Tamera considers Drew a friend and trusts him based on their shared experiences in a reality show. Now, Armstrong is pretty good with characterization so we can see his motivation even when we see him with Tamera. Unfortunately, that means I lost buckets of respect for her as a result. She even suspects that something is wrong, but doubles down on "but I trust this guy". And it doesn't help that we know he tanked her during their stint on the show (she believes accidentally but that's totally giving him a benefit of the doubt that he hasn't actually earned). So his machinations to tank the lovely Wyatt are painful because Drew is a selfish jerk but also because Tamera is a credulous idiot for buying his manipulations. Again, the flags are there because Armstrong doesn't suck as a writer. But that makes Tamera a whole lot less engaging, too.
So the combination of pain headed for Wyatt and knowing it's Tamera's fault for believing the manipulations of a selfish jerk (who she should totally know is a selfish jerk) makes me tired enough to put this down. I'll give it a second star because the writing is good and both main characters are engaging outside of the two (okay, kinda major) flaws. If it weren't for Tamera's blind folly, I'd be very engaged, indeed.
* Negative Motivations: I kind of hate that the term "negative motivation" isn't widespread, yet. Since it isn't, I'm going to save off this little jag to append to my reviews that feature the term. Jennifer Crusie blogged about it a bit back and it changed how I understand story. The problem with the term is that if you've never heard it before, you'd assume it meant motivations that are harmful or immoral. Not so. What it refers to is motivations not to do something. The thing is that many of us are motivated to not do things for a lot of different, perfectly valid and reasonable, reasons. The problem is that in a story motivations to not do things are a huge drag on the plot—particularly considering the fact that most negative motivations are overcome by the character simply deciding they don't care any more (or, rather, that they do care and are now motivated to do the thing). So not only do you have a counter to action but you also have a situation where to overcome it, all a character has to do is change their mind. Which means eventually, the reader is rooting for the character to get over him/herself already and do the thing we want them to do. Conflict drives story. Conflict between a reader and a main character drives readers away from story.

4.5*
Another favorite for me in the No Match for Love series. If you like matchmaking stories, second chances, clean romance with a little spice, great characters (especially characters that cross over throughout the series-yes, please!), heartache, healing, redemption, and much more, you need to read this series. I enjoyed the first book but have to say that each one keeps getting better and better. I love Lindzee's writing. She has a real talent for writing characters who are flawed, yet are very easy to connect to and cheer for while reading their stories.
Tamera had a short little part in the first book, and I will admit that she wasn't my favorite person in that book. She wasn't horrible. But there's a scene where she is matched up with Luke (he and Brooke are the main characters of book one) and their date isn't necessarily the best date ever...more like epic failure and all in the public eye which leads to a lot of negative feels towards her. Can I just say that I am so glad Lindzee wrote Tamera's story? It made me so happy to get to know Tamera. And let me just say also, her little epic failure date with Luke, yeah, it makes total sense now. Not that I give her a pass in my mind for what happened, but total sympathy and understanding has now entered my mind.
Let's say that Tamera hasn't had the best track record with being able to trust people. So for anyone (male characters specifically) to try to break down those walls and barriers, they must be pretty darn amazing...or more specifically, the sparks from all their natural chemistry must be flying. ;-)
Wyatt, you're pretty awesome. And just what the doctor ordered to heal Tamera's heart. But just because you're an awesome guy, football star and all, it won't be peaches and cream. You're gonna have to work at it, but if your first meeting with Tamera is any indication, boy you just keep on doing what you're doing.
If you can't tell, I liked Wyatt. There's some scandal behind his character. Rumors, Lies, truths. Tamera needs to decide who to believe and trust. Which, with her past, isn't going to be easy unfortunately.
These two and their chemistry was fabulously written. If you've been reading this series, I think you're gonna love it and all the reappearances of previous MCs from the series. Plus, I think there might be a few characters set up for their own books. Woot Woot!!!! If you haven't read the series, definitely one I'd recommend. This one does have previous characters but I think you could definitely read it as a stand alone and understand the past history. And let me just say, I loved, loved, loved the ending! Happy sigh, so cute!
Content: Clean. This has a football team in it, so there is some partying but nothing graphic and no sexual content. Some mild references to an affair, again nothing graphic or detailed.
I received an ARC from the author but have also purchased my own copy since.
Happy Reading!!!

4.5 stars for the latest in the No Match for Love series.
This is Tamera's story. She made a not-so-great-impression in the first book when she went out with Luke, but she's learned from her mistake, and her behavior in that book is explained in this one. I'm not excusing it, but now I understand why she acted that way.
Tamera's been burned by a lot of men in her life. Most recently by her latest boyfriend who cheated on her with her younger sister, and then, if you can believe it, her sister asked Tamera to be her maid of honor at their wedding! She's definitely not looking for love. Football star Wyatt James has just been traded from the San Antonio Vigilantes, who he's dreamed of playing for since he was a kid, to the Los Angeles Coyotes, a B-list team, and all because the girl he dated cheated on him with the star quarterback. He's not looking for love right now either.
Wyatt and Tamera's first meet in Texas and it's kind of embarrassing for her, and then she ends up being the realtor that helps him find a house in L.A. What are the odds?! There are immediate sparks between them but Wyatt's got a lot of work ahead of him because of Tamera's distrust of most men. When she's warned to beware of Wyatt from her BFF (Drew) from her stint on the reality show, Eye in the Sky, she gets confused because what she hears from Drew doesn't mesh with the Wyatt she's been spending time with.
So happy Tamera isn't the same girl who appeared in a previous No Match For Love book. She's more mature now but still distrustful. Wyatt is a dream--good looking, kind, thoughtful, treats her well, has morals, I could go on but you get the idea. Once things came to a head in the story I didn't know how the author was going to get these two back together, but she did it and it worked! She did it in a way that was completely believable. I didn't roll my eyes once thinking "that would never happen".
I really like this series. All the No Match for Love books can be read as standalones but the characters (like Luke and his wife) crossover into the other books. It's nice to see them because I forgot that Luke bought the football team.

I'm always super excited to read a new book by Lindzee Armstrong. She writes fun, flirty romance that is easy to settle in with. I loved this new story and I loved Wyatt! He was the best. The first kiss was yummy and I wished I had more of that! Yes, this book was a fantastic diversion and I read through it quickly. (I was supposed to be reading something else but I just couldn't help myself) It's just the kind of book I go to when I want to feed that romantic need.
This book is just $.99 (as of today 4/17/18) and it's on Kindle Unlimited if you have that. :)

Loved this one! I loved the tension between Tamera and Wyatt, and the Wyckam/Darcy subtle nod.
And Luke and Brooke have a cameo in a very fun scene.
I think it might be my favorite of the series.

4.5 stars. 2020 review update. I listened to the audiobook today while doing housework. Makes the work go so much faster. The narrator, Tiffany Williams is the narrator for the entire series and does a great job.

I've read all the books in this series and am as happy with this latest installment as I was with the first and all the books in between. Swoon satisfying.
It's a convoluted tale with lots of twists. Talk about bad boys, girls, and betrayals!
Clean, well-written, and lots of hair standing at attention due to crackling chemistry.
You'll whip through this one to get to the soul satisfying ending.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Football star Wyatt James messed with the wrong quarterback, and now he’s paying the price. After falling for the same girl, Wyatt ends up blamed for a career-ending move that gets him traded from his dream team to the b-list Los Angeles Coyotes. Now he’s starting over in a new state while praying the scandal doesn’t get picked up by the press. With his life in total upheaval, he’s only certain of one thing—he’s never falling in love again.
When Tamera discovers her boyfriend and sister’s secret affair, her heartbreak propels her to reality TV star fame. Now she’s got a big-time Hollywood talent agent, famous quarterback best friend, and a determination to never again let a man derail her life. Without a relationship weighing her down, it’s only a matter of time before her acting career takes off and she can quit selling houses to pay the bills.
When Tamera unexpectedly ends up as Wyatt’s real estate agent, sparks fly—until they find out her best friend and his nemesis are the same guy. As things heat up in the press, vicious lies spread like wildfire and neither is sure what to believe. Can their hearts heal enough from past hurts to trust in a future together?
MY TAKE
Another engaging story. I really liked both Tamera and Wyatt right from the start. I wasn't sure about Drew wasn't really comfortable with him or the friendship he claimed to value with Tamera. The hints about his behavior on the reality show reinforced that concern. I loved how Tamera and Wyatt enjoyed the same interests and were so confortable together. The attraction was almost insta-love, it was so powerful, but by the epilogue it had become realistic.
4 1/2 stars

The hints about his behavior on the reality show reinforced that concern. I loved how Tamera and Wyatt enjoyed the same interests and were so confortable together. The attraction was almost insta-love, it was so powerful, but by the epilogue it had become realistic.
4 1/2 stars
I listened to the audiobook, and Tiffany Williams did a fabulous job as usual.

A well written, heartbreak and second chances romance, Match Me if You Can is clean with a good plot and strong characters. When Wyatt discovers that the girl he is falling for is in a "friends without benefits" relationship with his worst enemy, he's not sure whom he can trust. Fortunately, he has a wise little sister who has the ability to see the big picture. Tamera has been betrayed and had her heart broken in the worst possible way, so when Wyatt's past catches up with him, she runs. The story touched me and my emotions and I felt all of the anger and hurt being experienced by both the main characters. I loved Wyatt's personality and the fact that even though Tamera was hurting, she still had the ability to bounce back. That the truth came out on all sides was also a relief as the story came to an end with resolution on all fronts. This book is part of a series and although some of the characters from previous books appear in this one too, this story is a stand-alone with a very satisfactory ending. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

DNF
I’m sorry. I truly am. I finish the books I read damnit! I stick with them to the bitter end and MOST OF THE TIME I enjoy the ride.
Oh little child!
I can’t, I honestly cannot physically do another page!
My rolling eyes and “oh, come on!” is getting old.
I’m at 90%! 90% and I’m nearly there! I HATE NOT FINISHING A BOOK!
Quick recap.
Story starts off at Tameras sisters wedding. But the catch? Her sister is marrying her EX BOYFRIEND and was having an affair with him FOR THE PAST YEAR.
I was shocked. On the edge of my seat. And boy was I gearing up for a good read.
NOPE! WRONG!
Turns out the ex/brother-in-law is just as sleazy to the sister as he was to Tamera seeing as he’s messaging her from his honeymoon repenting and declarations of “we should see each other”.
Fast forward to the b**** sister showing up at Tameras door fresh from her honeymoon in tears wanting... what exactly?
After a blubbering mess, the sister confesses the sleazy husband has a wondering eye (SHOCK!) then she spills the truth of the past. In essence, she WAS TIRED OF PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE TO TAMERA, and when TAMERAS boyfriend made advances, she LOVED BEING CHOSEN OVER TAMERA?!!
Ummm, say what?
Listen, I’m a nice person. But this would be the part anyone with an ounce of self respect would politely ask the sister to leave.
Nope!
Cue, Tamera attempting to bond with said sister and show the messages sleazy ex/brother-in-law had been sending! Wanna know the sisters reaction????
She throws a level ten fit, has a rant Tamera is being chosen AGAIN and storms out!
Okay, fine, Tamera has learnt her lesson... right??!!
Fast forward to Tamera hanging out with her other sleazy male “friend” who manipulates her like a pro - and she (long overdue) sees his true colours! She’s in shock (no idea why, but okay, I’ll bite) and runs away. Wanna know who she turns to in her desolate hour of need??? You REALLY wanna know???
HER SISTER!!!
Nope. I’m sorry. I’m done.
There comes a point where someone that dimwitted enjoys playing the “poor me” card and brings things upon herself. She’s not taken advantage of. She’s not even a kind heart who people prey upon. Nope. To me, she comes across as a hard ass who likes surrounding herself with awful people who treat her badly so what... she can feel better about herself??
Oh. The other half of this story is Wyatt, who is a very sweet character BUT then again, too sweet. I won’t bother going into his story but it was out of the two, a touch more interesting.
However, the high school theatrics start again where his CHEATING EX shows up with the “it’s your baby” story. His whole story is a bit too far fetched for me, but had it ONLY been his story with Tamera as the love interest, I would have stuck it out.
As it is, unfortunately I cannot waste my time reading another page.
Maybe I’ll change my mind, but right now, no.
And the one star is added for the decent writing. It would be zero (Goodreads, let us do zeros) if it wasn’t for that.

When Wyatt's realtor ends up being Tamera, and when the Coyotes end up getting an owner who starts turning things around, Wyatt realizes that a lot of good can come from his bad luck!

This was an uber quick read.
Did it hit the mood? Absolutely.
I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, and it’s definitely not something I’d reach for again, but it did exactly what I needed it to do in the moment. It scratched the itch, filled the gap, and kept me entertained just enough to stay invested.
That said, there were several truly terrible plot choices that grated on my nerves. A few of them were so frustrating they pulled me out of the story completely, which is probably why this won’t be making it onto my reread list. Still, for a fast, mood-fitting read, it delivered what it promised.

Match Me If You Can by Lindzee Armstrong
I laughed at the irony that the previous book I read had main characters named Kate and Drew, and Match Me If You Can has secondary characters with those names (well, Katie and Drew) – only the ones here were bad. Not that it has anything to do with anything other than the many coincidences like this that I experience in what I read.
It was no surprise that the characters of Match Me If You Can by Lindzee Armstrong were well developed and very interesting, not to mention complex. I have read all of her books and have found that she does a great job of writing lovable, relate-able characters with witty dialog and interesting plots.
Tamera was an aspiring actress who had done a stint on a reality TV show and was slightly addicted to social media. Though she was crushed by her younger sister who had not only stolen her boyfriend but her dream wedding as well, she still managed to show her kindness and concern
Similarly, Wyatt was cheated on, and he did not retaliate either. In fact, that was the reason he was traded to the California football team. I know that sounds strange, but you’ll have to read the story to see why. I really liked Wyatt. He had such integrity in his relationships, his job, even towards his “enemy”. Being slightly insecure and clueless made him even more fun.
Luke and Brooke made a cameo appearance in this story, as did several other characters from this series. There were a few unresolved plot elements which I hope means there will be a new book in the series about some of the characters in this one. Don’t think this means the ending was incomplete or unsatisfactory, because then you would be wrong. Each of the books in the No Match for Love series does stand alone but also builds on the characters from the other books.

Match Me if You Can is a fun contemporary romance with realistic characters and snappy dialogue. It is the 6th book in the No Match for Love series by Lindzee Armstrong, which follows the employees and clients of the matchmaking company Toujour. Unlike the other books in the series, the couple in Match Me if You Can are not set up on a date through Toujour; rather, Tamera is a past client who was set up on a date in the first book.
Tamera now wants nothing to do with dating after her fiancé dumped her for her sister after she was on a reality TV show. For her sister’s wedding, Tamera invites one of her co-stars to be her “plus one” so she doesn’t have to attend the wedding alone. Besides being one of her former costars, Drew is a quarterback for a professional football team. Tamera wants nothing but friendship with Drew, but he sees Tamera as a challenge. At first I wasn’t sure if Drew was supposed to end up with Tamera, but his character is so much like George Wyckam in Pride and Prejudice - a real charmer at first but such a snake in the grass!
Tamera eventually meets Mr. Darcy, I mean Wyatt, when she is at a party with Drew. However, they really get to know each other in Los Angeles after Wyatt is traded (he’s traded after Drew tells a few untruths that essentially gets Wyatt fired). Tamera and Wyatt thankfully get past each other’s poor first impressions and learn to trust each other after several misunderstandings.
Tiffany Williams did an outstanding job narrating this audiobook like she did with the other books in the No Match for Love series. Tiffany's style is very natural and she is easy to listen to. Brava!

Cute Sweet (and Clean) Romance
Wyatt is a famous football player. Tamera is a Realtor and an aspiring actress. Tamera was one of Luke’s dates in the beginning of the series (the one that got drunk and ended up in a tussle with some other football fans at a game). Tamera had the ultimate betrayal, her little sister had an affair with Tamera’s boyfriend. In the beginning, Tamera is at her sister and ex-boyfriend’s wedding. Wyatt also knows betrayal because his girlfriend and ex-teammate also had an affair. That led him to being blackmailed into leaving a winning team and going to one of the worst in the league. They had a really cute meet in the beginning in the gym and both were left thinking about each other but doubting they’d ever see each other again. Tamera was in a reality TV show though with the teammate that betrayed Wyatt and they end up getting thrown together again when Wyatt begins looking for a new house in L.A. where he is forced to move.
This book felt pretty realistic. The emotions really came through from the characters. It was a fun sweet (and clean) romance.

👍4 stars Goodreads rating
Really enjoyable, sweet💖 romance in a world of 🏈football players and reality stars. Wyatt, the footballer hero, is just a great guy, despite some really rough times on a Texas team. The author showed me a side of the life of a professional sports team athlete that I had not really thought about before. For an introvert like Wyatt, moving alone to a new team and a new town brought major disruptions and challenges. Finding the friendly face of Tamera, a girl he had just run into in Austin on the day before his move, was a bit of luck. Tamera is the heroine and she's a sweetie but she's easily influenced and has recently been gutted by her sister's betrayal. A good part of the story involves her constantly having to determine who she believes and whether she can trust her own instincts.
The writing is good, the story moved at a good, realistic pace and, all in all, I enjoyed this sweet and clean romance right through to its satisfying conclusion.

Match Me If You Can is a funny, fast paced romantic comedy, with an animated plot, full of twists and turns, and a captivating male hero.
Ms. Armstrong plays with a lot of stereotypical storylines. The cheating ex-boyfriend, the arrogant quarterback, the unscrupulous cheerleader are examples of the hilarious characters that populate the book.
As in any respectable comedy, nothing is too serious or too deep, a factor that contributes to keep the story light and with an easy flow.
There is one exception though. Wyatt, the male protagonist, is a sweet, down to earth, honourable man. A gifted and successful football player, in his personal life he struggles to overcame his introvert nature.
Wyatt is a well defined, captivating character, Natalie, his younger sister, providing a funny and bright counterpart.
Overall, Match Me If You Can is a pleasant, entertaining book, easy to read and really enjoyable

Luke Ryder has bought a failing football team and Wyatt James has been transferred from his more successful team to this one after a falling out with a team mate. Tamera, a former date of Luke, and a recent reality tv star is the real estate agent helping him find a house and a relationship blossoms.
This is a story of two people who have trust issues due to cheating partners, learning to love again. This book is filled has many characters that are guaranteed to annoy you and make sure you root for the couple, footballers with over-inflated egos, predatory exes and evil sisters' !!
There are a couple of scenes where I seriously felt like giving characters a boot up the backside but I guess if you don't t feel like that, then you are not invested in the story.
A good book in the Match Me series.

Tamara is scorned and turns to a reality show to start her acting career. Wyatt is trying to get his football career back on track after being traded. These two meet when Tamara becomes his real estate agent. But when they figure out the one person they have in common, the fun truly begins. I loved the dynamics of these characters. Each one had a fun personality and each one had a struggle that was based in real life. I enjoyed this story the best in the series so far. It was fun to see how the same person tamara was friends with, Wyatt hated. The drama that ensues made this book so hard to put down.
Tiffany Williams once again brings these characters to life. Her voice is so easy to listen to and enjoyable. Ms. Williams narrated Tamara exactly as I imagined her, witty and full of life. I love listening to Ms. WIlliams and getting lost in her narration.

I haven’t read very many of this author’s books, but that’s going to change in the very near future. This is the first book I’ve read in her No Match for Love series, so I have a lot to catch up on. Tamera’s sister, Katie marries Caleb, her ex and then has the wedding Tamera had always dreamed of. She even has the nerve to have Tamera in the wedding party. Tamera is an inspiring actress selling houses to pay the bills. When her business partner asks her to show a house for him, she meets Wyatt James again. The first time was when she was at her worst, after the wedding. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say that Tamera and Wyatt were perfect for each other, but they don’t get to their happily ever after without some obstacles in their way. Grab your copy and see what happens.

Loved this book! It was so enjoyable to read...touched my heart. It was quite a story, with Tamera, who had just dealt with her sister's wedding to Tamara's ex-fiance. Her friend Drew is pursuing her, but then she meets football hunk, Wyatt. He totally catches her attention, but she's a little gun-shy in the relationship department, with what happened with her sister. It makes for a roller coaster ride, as she tries to become an actress, and goes on auditions. There also seems to be some history with Drew, as Wyatt moves to town joining a new team. They don't get along. And then there's Wyatt's ex-girlfriend all of the sudden showing up. There's lots of fun things to read and lots of drama...I totally got into this book, and very highly recommend it!

Romance, clean PG-13 for some more adult situations that were still clean
This was more of a 3.5 for me as a reader, but definitely one of the best books in this series, so rounded up. A few nods to characters from other series, but a lovely fall for Tamera and Wyatt. Football setting, that made things interesting. The romantic triangle was cute, and it was nice to see Wyatt's true character shine through as Tamera got to know her, and really got to know Drew a bit better. Her family issues, his struggles to deal with the past that he hopes won't follow him, and both of them trying to reconcile their dreams was a fun read. Wyatt and Tamera were honest characters with some hurts that made for a lovely fall. Fun, flirty, bit of drama, made for a cute, light, romantic read.
