Pretty funny and a short audio.
A Matchless Romance gave me a couple that made me laugh so freaking hard. Tabitha and Drew were hilarious from start to finish. Every conversation just made me smile or giggle. It was definitely unexpected but thoroughly enjoyable. I instantly started shipping them - especially when the teasing moments began.
Now these two were adorable.. but I honestly was laughing so hard when it got to romancing. Mostly because of how things were written.. or because I was just super tired and kind out of my mind. Either way - still enjoyed the crap out of this book/couple.
Since I keep committing this reader's crime of diving into a random book in a series, instead of reading them all in order, I will definitely be diving into books 1-3 now. I hope they make me laugh just as much as this one did.

Drew Watson is completely at ease with his game controls, as a programmer he can control everything. However, when it comes to talking to women, he often suffers from foot in mouth disease. Fortunately for Drew he is about to meet matchmaker Tabitha Bell. While Tabitha is a matchmaker, Drew wants her help especially with talking to investors.
Neither expected to like each other or that either would regret hiring Tabitha when their feelings develop into something more. Problem is, Tabitha has a past that keeps her from believing she is worthy of love. While Drew may not be versed in romantic gestures, he finds a way to prove to Tabitha that he is worth the chance.
There is one part in this book that had me laughing out loud and jumping for joy, truly unique and when you read it you will know what I am talking about. I loved the concept of this story and Drew is not pure geekiness but enough that you can understand his need for Tabitha's help. Very entertaining.

This was a bittersweet story for me as it marks the end of a series I've very much enjoyed. Though it was short, it packed a lot in the final conclusion.
The setup
Tabitha Bell is a matchmaker with an extraordinary family history (I'll leave that for your discovery). She's new to Aisle Bound and her services are a perfect fit for the wedding planning and romance business. Drew Watson is the creator of one of the most popular video games on the market. He's just signed on with a company to help bring his current brainchild to retail shelves but the handsome, geeky nerd is flailing because of his social ineptness.
The issues
When Drew literally runs into Tabitha on the streets of Chicago (after he turns off an important investor), it doesn't take long for both of them to figure out karma is at work. As she puts together a plan for him, Tabitha struggles with her own attraction to Drew and staying professional to get the job done in time for an upcoming investor meeting.
What worked for me
The story is hilarious and the romance gets steamy pretty fast. I loved how Tabitha could immediately see beyond Drew's geeky-ness and appreciate his wonderful qualities. And, she had no desire to change him...just bring out the best of him. Even when he starts being a "babe magnet", he only has eyes for Tabitha.
The ending was wonderful as all of the couples from the entire series had a role in the story, complete with what was next for them.
The bottom line
If you like geeky/nerdy heroes, you'll enjoy this book. Drew's very special (he is no slouch in the bedroom) and Tabitha was the perfect match for him. Typical of Christi's stories, they were two extremely appealing characters. It was a fitting end to a funny and romantic series.

This book was curiously all over the place. Drew's supposedly a geek who can't talk to women but half the time he is actually a confident gold medalist (at the Olympics) with a body to match and the other half he's living in his game world. It just doesn't mesh.
Plus the "geeky" references are so confused, when Drew meets Tabitha he reacts like the concept of zombies is something that is super geeky. Not a specific zombie reference or a reference to some kind of obscure zombie film/comic/book, the concept of zombies.
Plus Drew is flabbergasted by the concept of Tabitha, a female-type person playing video games. Studies repeatedly show that the video game audience is like people 50% female, this should not have come as a shock to him.
Not happy.
