Met Her Match
Classic Jude Deveraux with a mystery twist near the end. I must say, I enjoyed this book very much. It is a bit of a Cinderella tale only the wicked stepsisters are the townspeople. Let’s start at the beginning. Terri lives in her Aunt’s house on the lake and takes care of the lake and the houses and people who live there with her father. They are known as the Lake People. There is a small town close by full of Townies and for many years there has been discord between them. This discord can be traced back to some incidents that happened with Terri and her mother who is no longer in the picture. Many misunderstandings have occurred and Terri is presumed to have caused many problems for the favorite son of the town among others. Terri accepts her fate without challenging anyone. Then Nate Taggart arrives (remember the Taggarts from previous books?). There is a mix-up and he ends up staying in the same house with Terri. They are immediately attracted to one another but cannot act on the attraction as Nate is engaged to the Mayor’s daughter. Through a mutual decision, he stays and they end up working around the lake together. I won’t tell you the rest of the story but it was a very good read. I recommend this book.

Met her Match is the latest novel by Jude Deveraux and does not disappoint. Like all of her other stories, this love story meets physiological thriller will leave you questioning what you read and asking for more. Watching the relationship build between main characters Terri and Nate, is heart warming. The family dynamics are interesting and add a layer of dimension to the story. The characters will stay with you long after the story ends. The love triangle will encourage you to root for the underdog. An entertaining story, with an unexpected ending.

I will review on Amazon Sept 17, 2019

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for a honest review.

I really enjoyed Met Her Match, Nate and Terri had so much chemistry between themselves. The book was well written, with lots of different emotions mixed into the storyline. Although this book does contain some suspense it is much more a book centered around romance. I would definitely recommend this book to all of my friends.

Nate and Terri are opposites. Terri is the outsider, the heartbreaker so to speak, the enticer, so she tries to keep herself out of the small town gossip. Its constant in that town. Nate has moved to town to be close to his fiance', but she's out of the country.

I could not get into this story at all. I've read Jude before, and usually I love her stuff, but this story, not so much. I get the premise, but it fell short for me. I did not feel the connection with Nate and Terri at all.

Small town, romance, gossip, lies and mysteries, welcome to Kissel Lake!
Terri Rayburn has a bad reputation and lives her life to avoid further gossip, she lives in the shadow of her “harlot” mother.
The last thing she expects is
Nathaniel Taggert ( Nate) , to be “living” with her while engaged to town royalty !
Nate and Terri has fantastic chemistry, such an ease to their relationship and are perfect for each other ! This town and it’s people, made for a great read, add the towns mysteries and secrets and this is a book not to miss

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley is return for a honest review.

Met Her Match was a mixture of dark and light. It was a good romance story and I really liked the characters and the setting. But it also had a years old mystery that turned dark toward the end. I loved this book. As usual this author never fails to please the readers

Met Her Match was exactly what I was in the mood to read— a sweet romance plus an intriguing mystery equals a fantastic novel! Jude Deveraux is a master at creating endearing characters that you don’t want to say goodbye to! I found myself so completely wrapped up in the storyline that I started and finished this gem in one day! I have always felt Jude Deveraux novels were “a sure thing”, but I’m always so amazed how she comes out with such quality and original books every time! Met Her Match is a 5 star novel that will make you forget the rest of the world (and we all know those are the best kind)! I highly recommend Met Her Match to everyone!

Fantastic addition to the SummerHill series. Nate & Terri meet at the lakeside resort her dad manages. He ends up helping her fix and run things, and they just work well together. After all they're just friends, Nate is engaged to someone else, someone who is the total opposite of Terri. That is what he wants, isn't it? Add in the mystery of Terri's Mom disappearing when she was little, andyou get another wonderful story from Jude Deveraux. Great summer read.

I have always been a fan of Jude Deveraux and she strikes gold again with Met Her Match. In my opinion the sign of a great book is one that I do not want to put down once I have started it and that is certainly true for this book. This book has romance, mystery, alpha males and strong female characters. I do not retell the story as so many people do in their review as I think it spoils it. Jude always has well developed characters, plots, and vivid descriptions of the settings for her books. Do not miss out on this great read by a fantastic author!

Another great book by Jude Deveraux filled with good characters, romance and mystery, and a great setting in a small town.

Interesting story, and a little darker than I expected. Good plot twists that kept me interested throughout. Story starts with Terri seeing a handsome man come out of the lake and come into her house. He is not known to her, and naturally she gets upset. Turns out Nate was put into her house by her uncle, and naturally sparks start to fly. Only problem is that he is engaged to marry the mayor's daughter, who is currently in Italy for 3 weeks. Throw in a lot of years of gossip and division between the lake vs the town people, and then throw is a murder mystery and you have a great story. Highly recommend this one, and found it hard to put down.

Terri loves working at the lake resort with her dad. She can handle any problem there, but dealing with the townspeople is another matter. Word is that her mother ran off with another man when Terri was two and that has caused her to be bullied all her life. People keep accusing her of being a tramp like her mom but that couldn't be farther from the truth.

When Nate shows up in her house, Terri smells a rat and wants to know why her family would deliberately set her up with a man engaged to the Mayor's perfect daughter. Nate tries to resist his feelings for Terri but he can't. Great well-written characters and plot make this romance a great read. I highly recommend it!
