The Match by Sarah Adams

5.0

This book is a sunshiny, feel-good, closed-door romance. Evie works for an agency that matches service dogs with people who need them. She knows first hand the independence and security a service dog can provide, because her golden retriever, Charlie, is a service dog trained to assist with her epilepsy. Evie meets Jake when his 10-year-old daughter (who also has epilepsy) sets up a meeting with Evie to talk about getting a service dog of her own.

Evie is such a strong character, who fully lives her life despite a difficult family and the added challenges of having a disability. She is such a positive person, and I loved her relationship with her boss, Joanna. Evie and Jake have instant chemistry but their relationship building is a slow burn, and their story is captivating from the start. Jake’s daughter, Sam, added so much to the plot and I adored seeing Jake and Sam’s sweet relationship.

🎧The audiobook is dual narration by Rusty Mewha and Leanne Woodward. I loved their portrayal of Jake and Evie, as well as their added southern accents for other characters. It really brought in the southern charm of Charleston.

I loved this book and cannot wait for the re-release of the 2nd book in the It Happened in Charleston series, The Enemy (8/6/24). Thank you to Dreamscape Media, Sarah Adams, and NetGalley for the chance to listen to this ALC in exchange for my honest review.
