In small towns, no one lets the facts get in the way of juicy gossip.

Terri Rayburn is a girl with a reputation. She doesn't deserve it, but having grown up on the outskirts of Summer Hill, Virginia, she knows how small towns work. The only way to deal with vicious gossip is to ignore it. So she keeps to herself as she runs the summer resort on Lake Kissel. When she returns home from a short trip to find a handsome stranger living in her house, she smells a rat. Someone is trying to fix her up, and she has to admit that Nate Taggert is just her type. However, Nate is engaged to the daughter of the mayor and strictly off-limits. Nate and Terri form an unlikely friendship while he throws himself into life at the lake. As Nate starts to hear rumors about Terri he's confused. Knowing how smart, beautiful and strong she is, he's determined to discover the source of the gossip. Terri doesn't want to revisit the past, but Nate won't stop until he discovers the truthâ??even if the truth might be more than either of them can handle.

Set in the beloved fictional town of Summer Hill, Virginia, Met Her Match examines the tensions between the wealthy townspeople, the summer vacationers and the working-class people who keep the town and resort running. Told with humor and heart, Met Her Match is the perfect summer escape.… (plus d'informations)

I really enjoyed the mix of mystery and romance in this book. The romance was slow to build, but fit with the temperament of our characters. The first few chapters were a little awkward and the dialogue felt stilted, but everything smoothed out (for me) after that.

The author drew me in emotionally - I found myself feeling protective of Terri when insinuations were made about her character over and over. The story was fun and escapist.

This is part of a series (which I have not read) and I found it worked fine as a standalone. ( )

One of those modern Taggert/Montgomery books which are simply a good all-round read.
What made it interesting for me was that all the characters were well drawn out.
Terri is complex and has been made so by her mom abandoning them at childhood.
Nate is an interesting character who is engaged to a 'good' girl from a 'good' family.
The small-town life. The mystery persona of Kit. The little problems that are solved by the pair.
The amicable let down with the fiancee, the final resolution of the 20 year mystery.
It was all so good.
Definitely something I can recommend.

I just picked up my reserve copy two days ago and finished it last night. Loved it! Very cute book. ( )

I haven't read Jude Deveraux in a long time, and I don't know why I stopped. Wonderful series set in a small town that I wish I could live in. Some mystery, and a lot of characters involved in small town life. Can't wait to read the next book, can't wait to see who it's about!

This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher. All opinions are my own. ( )

Jude Deveraux is my guilty pleasure. When I need a break from psychological thrillers, I love to read a light romance with a bit of mystery. Jude never disappoints.
In this latest Summer Hill installment, Terri is working at the lake, doing all sorts of jobs when she enters her home and finds a man there. Nate Taggert (of the Montgomery / Taggert clan) is tall and handsome, but engaged to perfect Stacy. However, the sexual tension and compatibility between Nate and Terri continues to build until it can't be ignored.
Terri won't let anything happen because there are too many rumors in town about her and also about her long lost mother. She doesn't want to give the town any more to talk about, so she won't let her feelings towards Nate grow into more than friendship.
Of course, that isn't satisfactory for a Deveraux novel. There must be some conflict, and the Taggerts always get the right girl. Additionally, the mystery of why Terri's mom disappeared so suddenly is solved.
A perfect beach read or a perfect book to read when it is freezing cold outside! Either way, a guilty pleasure!
