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 truth—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.
Terri has been set with and unfair reputation in town since she was younger but with small towns people gossip and its hard to break free from that. When she came home from a trip she comes to find Nate Taggert in her house and believes that this is a family members attempt at match making. The attempt backfires when she finds that not only is he engaged but hes engaged to the mayors daughter. They both put aside attraction for friendship but that doesnt stop tongues from waggling when it comes to the gossip mill.

If you like a good contemporary you'll like this book. I really enjoyed seeing these two and that slow burn when it came to thier attraction with one another. They really did try to set some boundaries but manage to find themselve in a bit of sticky situations where boundaries sometimes did get a bit blurry. I thought it was interesting getting to know them and then there was the conflicts with Nate having trouble being a bit more open and honest when it came to his fiance. It was interesting getting to hear the kind of Nate that he was with her and how different it was with Terri and then there was the wondering who was the real Nate? Then there was that thing at the end that threw me a bit off that I wasn't expecting and it was just surprising how it turned out. I never expected that kind of ending. Overall this was a really good book I really enjoyed it.
