I really enjoyed it. I didn't want it to end. But I thought it wrapped up very fast. It would've been better if it took a little bit more for Reid's resolution.

This was book #1 for Romanceopoly 2020.
Challenge Pack: Moon
Square: The Bar
Challenge: Read a book where you and the author share at least one initial.
Friends to lovers stories may be my favorite romance trope ever!! These two friends are so perfectly mismatched but so perfect for each other. Corinne Michaels' writing always moves me to tears and this book was no different. Michaels and her co-author, Melanie Harlow, have written a charming, heartwarming story about friendship and overcoming fear of the past and future.
As an audiobook narrated by two of my favorite narrators, Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke, I literally couldn't stop listening to book. Highly recommend.

cute but I cant be the only one that thought the ending was too rushed and overly too convenient right? like the guy suddenly realizes he was does actually want a marriage and baby in a chapter?? when he had been so relentless and obdurate abt his beliefs that he would 'never ever' change his views but he does and on his own too, like he suddenly comes to solution and realization after literally nothing. If it took a little longer then it would be more believable.
still cute tho

Loved Reid and Willow together. Great chemistry and connection. There were times that Reid got on my nerves a bit but good overall story. I loved Reid and Willow's friendship.

I loved this book so much that I had to take a few days before writing my review. I am a complete sucker for friends to lovers romances because my husband was my best friend for years before we starting dating.
Reid and Willow are absolute perfection. They are both stubborn and frustrating at times but when they finally give in to the inevitable, their love his amazing. Change is scary and neither Willow nor Reid wants their relationship to change. But in order to move forward they both have to accept that change is inevitable. Once they both get out of their heads and allow their love to guide their way, they have an epic romance that has me in a serious book hangover!

I adore Reid and Willow's story - it's fun and sweet and sexy blended with just the right touch of suspenseful emotions. It's the perfect story you'll want to read again and again.

This sweet read went down nice and easy, which is just what the doctor ordered for the amount of stress the world has been under recently. Melanie Harlow and Corinne Michaels make a great pair.
Imperfect Match is a friends to lovers romance. It’s a trope that I find works best when the change in relationship status happens gradually rather than a lightning bolt Oh my gosh, my best friend is sexy moment. I feel like this book does a pretty good job of allowing Willow and Reid to increasingly and somewhat reluctantly come to terms with their romantic feelings.
Their friendship is well established. I loved their fun routines and the strong bond they share. It made me long for a best guy friend like Reid. My fondness for them didn’t change when they became lovers. They truly are perfect together, except…
Willow is a woman who is determined to have children as soon as possible—if not with a boyfriend or husband, then through a sperm donor. Reid is diehard anti-children. This was never a secret to either of them. I understood Willow’s rush to have kids, but Reid’s misgivings seem lame. I did not understand why they would start a romantic relationship knowing they are fundamentally opposed on this major issue. How could they then be surprised and frustrated when it becomes a roadblock?
There are some lovable side characters, including Willow’s new age tree hugger sister and Reid’s freeloader brother. Coupled with Willow and Reid’s chemistry, this is a very entertaining rom com.

At first their banter was great then it turned into no banter at all. Reid drove me bananas throughout the story, I’m glad they least got their happy ending

I love a good friends to lovers trope and I absolutely loved the Christmas novella that came after this so I knew I had to read this one too. I enjoyed it as usual with anything Corinne touches!
