This book was giving the hating vibes from the cover to the reviews! This book was so fun! It reminded me of Kaitlyn Hill's Not Here to Be Friends. The energy was the same and it was a fun read just like it!

NOW. THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION
THE STORY IS SO GOOD AND WILL KEEP YOU HOOKED FROM BEGINNING TO END.

I loved this book! It was cute and sweet, and The Bachelor-esque setting was fun to read. It was a little heavy on the miscommunication trope, but that didn’t take from my enjoyment too much. Would definitely recommend!

As someone who isn't a huge fan of second-chance lovers or the miscommunication trope... I didn't have high hopes for this book, but I really enjoyed it for what it was. I loved the spin on the Bachelorette and reading about reality TV. When Emily's mom, out of the blue, asks the world to help her daughter find a boyfriend, Emily becomes the next star of The Love Match, a reality TV show. During the show, Emily dates thirty male contestants while reconnecting with her ex, Jake, who is the show's producer (JUICY).
This book is filled with drama, chemistry, humor, and spice, and I would recommend it to anyone needing to get their fill of reality TV in between seasons (even if you aren't a huge second chance lover/ miscommunication trope person like myself.

This book is the definition of swoon right there. I love a book where the main couple is so obviously better together, not just because they’re in love, but because they support each other in the unique ways they each need it.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

So the synopsis starts with - She’s the new lead of a hit dating show. He’s the producer. And seven years ago, they were in love. Let the games begin…

Emily wakes up one morning to find her mum on the morning news begging for her to be picked to go on a dating show. Much to Emilys dismay she is picked and finds out the shows producer is non other than her one that got away, Jake. Her ex boyfriend, who broke her heart 7 years ago.

I really wanted to love this book, there were parts that were really funny in a romcom way, and being a fan of the original TV show the Bachelorette I already knew the concept. But sadly it just didn't do it for me. I just could not connect with the characters and found myself wanting to bang their heads together most of the time out of frustration. How can you have a second chance at romance if you daren't ask what went wrong 7 years ago and why he walked out and just didn't come back. That's the first thing I would be asking. By the time we got to the reasoning, and they started to talk everything through I had lost interest.

The writing is great and some of the book is very funny. I would definitely read books by the author again with different characters.

This is a lovely, heartfelt, and entertaining rom com! I loved the concept. The Bachelor-style reality show with a twist was so fun and unique. The Love Rematch was an angsty second chance romance filled with tension and chemistry. I was hooked from the moment I read the description of this book! A love story about the lead star of a reality show who still has feelings for her ex-boyfriend... WHO IS THE PRODUCER OF THE SHOW!? Um... yes please! If you love romantic reality shows, you will LOVE this book. It's entertaining and fun while also dealing with deep topics and having great character development.

Things I Loved:
- Second chance
- Angsty
- Reality show
- Dual POV
- Revenge

Thank you to NetGalley and Kay Marie for the ARC!

The Love Rematch is a rom com featuring a Bachelorette type setting but the twist is that the man who broke her heart is one of the producers. The story was good and entertaining but I ended up just really liking the writing. It was engaging without being too out there, it struck the right balance of humor, heart and backstory. The ending was a twist i didnt see coming and maybe was a little rushed, but I just really enjoyed this one.

Emily Peters is happy with her life, working at her parent’s florist and developing her own jewelry line, until her mother goes on national TV trying to find her a boyfriend. Suddenly, her life is turned upside down as she’s named the latest contestant on The Love Match, a show that matches a bachelorette with a guy from a group of bachelors.

There once was a guy, named Jake, but he broke her heart. Now Emily is shocked to find Jake is one of her new producers. He’s the wrangler for the single guys and is instrumental in finding the perfect guy for her.
What Emily doesn’t realize is that Jake has never gotten over her. How can he set her up with another guy when he wants her for himself?

This is an entertaining enemies to lovers, second chance romance, 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

This was such a good romance novel! I read it so quick and I thought there were some funny moments throughout. I don't catch myself laughing at books very often but this one did it! I recommended this book to some of my friends who are big into romance and they also loved it (I am writing this review late so they actually bought the book woohoo!) Thanks Kay Marie and NetGalley for the free arc in exchange for an honest review.

It was so fun reading this book! Such an enjoyable and cute story! Beautifully written stories about second chance romance, with sparks of romantic comedy and entertainment industry.

This book was okay. Although, in all fairness, reality tv romance is not my favourite subgenre, so it makes sense that I didn't love this one.

The Love Rematch follows Emily and Jake, two exes who end up working on the same dating show. Emily as the star, forced into joining the show by her meddling mother, and Jake behind the scenes, finally being given the opportunity to work as a producer. As you can imagine, the forced proximity of working together demands that our two main characters confront a past that they'd rather leave behind.

While I thought there were some cute moments between Jake and Emily, the miscommunication was too much for me to handle! I'm also not a fan of watching one of the leads make out with a bunch of other people while the supposed love of her life watches on.

This book just wasn't for me, but if you're a fan of the reality tv setting and all the drama that comes with it, then maybe you'll enjoy this book.

2.5 stars

Give this book a 3.5/5!
It was a funny and easy read, I read it in one day at the beach.
It had some good things, it really mimicked reality at times, and then I found some tropes really annoying at other points as well.
The plot twist at the end was unexpected, I thought something else was gonna happen, and then the laaaast plot twist was mind-blowing.
Overall, I enjoyed it, it wasn't my favorite book, but I would read a sequel if there ever was one.

Note: received a free ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I wanted to love this one because the cover is just adorable, but I could not get into it! I haven't completely taken it off my TBR because I think it was just a case of bad timing, but for now it's a DNF.

Such a great read full of heart and love. Take the time to read it, I wasn’t sure at first and it took me time to get into it but I loved it!. I can’t wait for Sam and Coopers story next!!!!!!

Seven years ago, Emily awoke to find the love of her life had left her without a word in the middle of the night. Her young heart was left broken as she struggled to make sense of why he left and forge forward into the future that she had always envisioned him a part of. Now, thanks to Emily’s embarrassing mother, she’s found herself the lead in tv’s hottest dating reality show. Saying goodbye to her home in Georgia, she heads to LA where her ex, Jake, lives and works as a producer on the show she’ll soon be staring in. She is seeking revenge as he struggles to maintain professionalism and distance in a constant battle with his own demons and his heart who never got over the love of his life. It’s the perfect slow burn, love/hate story for all fans of The Bachelor and second chance love.

This one was so cute! It hooked me from the start. I love the bachelor so this was super fun to read and I loved how it ended up. Jake can do not wrong

Thank you so much @netgalley and @kaymariebooks for an advance copy of this book!

I didn’t realize how much I’d love this book until I dove right in! I’ve watched the Bachelor TV show off and on over the years, so this book was pretty entertaining for me!

Emily is the new lead of a hit TV dating show. Her ex, Jake, is the producer on the show. And 7 years ago they were in love and ready to start a future together. Thanks to Emily’s mom’s appearance on a national tv show begging American to find her daughter a boyfriend, she gets chosen as the lead of the biggest TV dating show.

Jake and Emily haven’t seen each other since they broke up… that is, until Jake left Emily in the middle of the night with no explanation. He took off for LA in pursuit of his dreams. They both have their idea of why things ended, and they both have secrets about their past they’d rather not get out!

I love all the behind the scenes reality TV nonsense that is showcased in this book. It makes the idea of reality in reality tv seem nonsensical. But as an audience, plenty of viewers still love to believe in it (or be entertained by it!!)

I love Jake and Emily’s shared past and tension while filming the show together. Obviously watching your ex be the lead in a dating show where 30 men vie for her attention is going to be torture. And having your ex as the producer watching your every move as you try to date different men is going to be weird!

Also, Emily has a twin sister Sam, who isn’t really featured in the book due to filming the tv show, but she’s there at the beginning and the end. Sam is a hoot and I’m excited to read her story in the second book in this series!!

Such an enjoyable unique second chance romance read.
I really enjoyed reading about Emily and Jake and exploring their characters and their past. They were well rounded and developed characters that made the story enjoyable. The tension between Emily and Jake was so good too!

If you love the bachelor or just a good romance book I’d recommend you try this one. It was such a fun and enjoyable read.
