New Release & Review: Matchmaking the Rival by Layla Hagen

Release Date: February 2

Last time I saw Cade Whitley, I was the curvy, nerdy girl who tutored him in math. He was the popular boy who only saw me as a friend. Now he’s the CEO of the competition.

 

The second we meet again, we start pushing each other’s buttons… then end up accidentally flirting.

 

But that has to be a fluke, right? After all, the only things we have in common are a love for the coffee industry and affection for his matchmaking grandmother.

 

At least, that’s what I think.

 

In high school, I had a crush on him. And it was completely unrequited. I don’t want history repeating itself.

 

Then he kisses me in his office, making my head spin. 

 

This is dangerous. He could break my heart again. My boss could find out.

 

But Cade has a way of making me forget about everything… except him.

My Review:

Matchmaking the Rival by Layla Hagen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cade and Meredith don’t know what’s about to happen as Grandma Whitley sets her sights on getting another grandson married. This duo knew each other in high school when Meredith had a huge crush and Cade was mad at the world. They lost touch until their careers bring them together as each of their companies enter a coffee competition. I loved that first moment when reconnect and Meredith shows Cade her strong and sassy personality when he critiques her booth. What this really shows is the spark that is between them. But dating your competitor might not be the best move for Meredith of course, Cade won’t take no. I appreciated the challenges they had to face as they navigated building a relationship. I’m excited to see who Grandma Whitley takes on next with her matchmaking plans. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
