Tatum Finley sets her sister, Cherry, up with her boss, Charlie. Cherry thinks it’s some kind of weird joke because Charlie is not her type at all. Charlie is a tech billionaire who dressed not-to-impress on their first date in baggy clothes. Charlie is an arty fashionista and doesn’t believe they have anything in common. The date does not go well and they part ways.

In 2.6 million to one odds, Cherry and Charlie run into each other a few days later at a restaurant and have dinner together. It goes better the second time and Cherry asks him to be her date for her brother’s upcoming wedding.

Charlie has been pining after Cherry for three years, ever since he saw her visiting her sister at his company. He’s longing for her but Cherry just wants to be friends. So Charlie requests that they meet a few times before the wedding to get to know each other.

With the pressure off, since they’re “friends”, Cherry starts to feel more comfortable around Charlie and feelings grow from there.

There is a lot of mutual pining in “No Match For Her” which is delicious. As the “friend dates” occur, they slowly get to know one another and really appreciate each other’s true selves.

I really enjoyed getting to know Cherry and Charlie as the book unfolded. Their slow burn from friends to lovers is natural and well earned.

“He protects himself fiercely, but in the past few weeks, he’s shown so much of himself to me.”

“I never understood the point of love songs,” he whispers. “But that was before I danced with you.”

“No Match For Her” is an easy to read, spicy, well-paced, wonderful, friends-to-lovers slow burn romance.

I received an advance copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

Synopsis

I need a fake date to my brother’s wedding, and billionaire Charlie Walgrove owns a tux. Simple, right?

He’s also my sister’s boss, and I agree to let her set me up with the awkward genius, who apparently has even less luck in the dating game than a struggling artist, aka me.

We’re total opposites, but the date goes okay. We agree to be friends, the kind who won’t become lovers.

Famous last words.

On a series of “friend dates” involving bar snacks, acrylic paint, and hedgehogs, I discover that Charlie is nothing like what I expected. Under his hoodie and glasses, he’s handsome and down-to-earth, stuck in a job he hates and afraid to disappoint people by walking away. His heart is as gorgeous as his hidden face.

I’ve always felt like the flaky sister in my family, but Charlie sees me as the artist I want to be. As our friendship deepens, so do my feelings for him. Maybe I’m even falling in love.

But gambling with my heart feels dangerous when all my relationships end in failure–especially if he’s only looking for a friend.

Is it only princesses that get a Happily Ever After? Or is there hope for a hot mess like me?

No Match for Her is a STANDALONE friends-to-lovers, opposites-attract romance. It is part of the Berkeley Hills series.
