A country music heartthrob and his long-lost love walk into a wedding... Will Truitt grew up living the saddest kind of country song. Now, though, as superstar Billy Brenton, his life is perfect. Or so people think. But he hasn't been able to write a decent song in months. Crashing a wedding in a quirky little bridal-obsessed town is supposed to provide inspiration to get his career back on track. Instead, all he finds are regrets when he comes face-to-face with the woman who got away, taking his crushed heart with her. Lindsey Castellano gave up on love a long time ago. As a cutthroat divorce attorney on the outskirts of a town devoted to brides, weddings, and happily ever after, she's honed her skills at avoiding love, commitment, and inevitable heartbreak. Or so she thought until Will Truitt reappears in her life. When Lindsey shattered Will's heart fifteen years ago, she'd been a sorority girl on her way to the top. He'd been a lowly janitor with a dream. Now he's on top of the world, and she's the last person he should need or want. But she's the only person who has ever inspired his music. And he's the only man she's never been able to forget. Have the years made them wiser, stronger, and better able to love, or this time, will they simply crash and burn harder?… (mehr)

DNF at p. 225 of 281. I can't take anymore. This is too terrible. The story is stupid the characters absurd, and the lyrics (the MMC is a country star) are the worst lyrics I have ever read. Comparatively, Da Doo Ron Ron is Shakespeare, Boyfriend (the Bieber one) is Proust, and The Joher is Chekhov.

A psychic matchmaker/divorce lawyer and a budding country music star are reunited 15 years after a one-week vacation hookup when they were teenagers during which they were ruined for all others. She is constantly rude to everyone and he is a dumb hick who talks like one of the locals in Deliverance. Given the absurdity of the characters, it seems impossible that their courtship could be dull but it really is. The high point is the appearance of novelty cupcakes cooked by a woman who appears to be in a constant state of psychosis (seriously, it is an endless word salad) which everyone politely ignores. Though in FMC apparently is terrified of people (though she is fine doing contentious divorces) and cannot deal with his fame. I got so close to the end but realized I didn't care at all about what happened to these people and that I have better books to read. Agh! ( )

I cannot justify starting this one-too many good books and series! A DNF for series

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Facing life with a positive attitude has managed to get Lindsey to the point that she is content with where her goals took her. Will has lived a life that allows him see things the way they really are. Having had to fight for his dreams he appreciates where he ended up. Yet each has regrets about love and the one that got away. Jamie Farrell's story of overcoming adversity, regrets and second chances is a story that surprised me. The way it's presented is that Lindsey has this great life, which she does but to me she came across as going through the motions. Will is happy with the achievements he has made in his life but wants a second chance at love. The characters existed without each other but when together they realized what had been missing all along. I received an ARC of Matched in exchange for an honest review. Somewhat cheesy but a whole lot of fun. ( )

This is a sweet, fun story about second chances. The characters are likable and quirky, in a town that is all about love. Even though this is book two in the series, it can be read as a stand alone. However, once you've read one, you will want to read them all. Ms. Farrell does an excellent job of creating characters that are down to earth and "normal." I love her writing style.

ARC received from the author in exchange for an honest review. ( )
