In our society, who we love is a choice we make, but once upon a time this fact wasn't so. To settle a gambling debt, Gerard is forced to marry Layla, a girl that he has never met, under the cover of darkness, with no one knowing but their parents. Gerard immediately leaves his bride to time travel to present day with his friend and no one knows. When Gerard returns to his time he believes that only a month has gone by but due to a fluke during his re-entry he has been gone for eighteen months instead!

A lot has happened during that time, including his bride giving up on Gerard ever coming back for her, and has decided to move back home. Gerard realizes just how selfish he's been, with taking this trip without giving his new marriage, and bride, a chance, and he knows it's time to make things right. He quickly gets his affairs in order and then sets his sights on Layla and winning her affections.

I immediately fell in love with the premise of this book, and knew that it was going to be a fun read, which it was. The characters are utterly charming and I loved the setting, though I wish there could've been more details in that regard. Watching the relationship between Gerard and Layla blossom is wonderful, and the ending will make you swoon!

Love Match is a quick, fun read that I truly enjoyed! ( )
