About the Book:
When Missy Bainbridge needs to quickly find a suitable date for a big family event, the last place she expects to find help is from the aloof businessman on her morning commute.
Missy is determined to make her bakery the sweetest spot on Boston’s Newbury Street. She’s poured her heart, soul, and a loan from her disapproving father into Missy’s Bakery & Cakery — and it’s finally starting to pay off. Her love life, however, is a disaster. Her grandmother, who raised her, has a list of suitors ready and waiting, each more cringe-worthy than the last. With the bakery starting to thrive and a fictitious boyfriend no one has met keeping the peace with her family, what could possibly go wrong?
Now with her grandmother’s milestone birthday celebration looming, Missy has no choice: she needs a real date . . . and fast. Enter the last man she’d ever imagine asking for help — her polished, rule-following, decidedly unromantic train companion — and he wants nothing to do with her scheme.
What Missy doesn't realize is that she is helping him instead.

My Review:
Matchless is a spectacular contemporary romance.
Missy Bainbridge is the owner of an up-and-coming Boston bakery. Her pastries and custom cakes are all the rage. Her bakery and besties fulfill her life but she's lacking in the romance department. She continues to attract the wrong types of guys, which is a disappointment to her grandmother and father.
The pressure is on when her grandmother expects Missy to bring a date to her birthday party. Now, she has to find a fake boyfriend in time to take to her grandmother's birthday party. Little did she see Preston, her annoyed train companion, coming.
All Preston wants is a quiet train ride to work. When he's continually interrupted by Missy, directly and indirectly, he finds himself becoming immersed in her life. After Missy's latest disaster of a relationship, Preston steps in to help Missy.
Matchless is a wonderfully written novel. The story is full of realism and emotion. I love the opposites attract trope that includes humor, banter, slow-burn romance, grumpy-sunshine, and tension. The characters are likable and well-developed. I loved watching the story unfold. I enjoyed the world created by the author, how the story was set up, and the ending I didn't see coming.
I'm excited to include Matchless on my bookshelf.
