My sister went and toured Europe several years ago with some friends and they went to Versailles and rented bikes and road all around in the gardens there. She said it was absolutely amazing. Another trip on the ol' bucket list for sure. If you love a good sweet and spicy but clean read, packed with humor, moments of peril, car chases, fake engagements, Paris, paparazzi, amazing wedding dresses, fun shoes, flights of stairs, big brothers, makeup, true love and much much more, this is one I highly recommend for you to enjoy!
This book could work as a stand alone but if you like the backstory of characters, I would at least recommend reading Miss Match first, but don't forget to read Not Your Match because it's great too!
Happy Reading!!! I've written and published a lot of books, but I think Zoey and Mitch's might be my favorite yet. May 18, Crystal Books Are Sanity!!! I loved the book Miss Match that I read by Armstrong, so I was thrilled with the chance to read another by her!
Mix 'N Match is about Zoey and Mitch. Zoey and Mitch are thrown together and have to go incognito to try to plan out Brooke and Luke's wedding in Paris. Trying to keep it under the radar of the paparazzi is nearly impossible as is trying to fight the growing affection the two have!
Will the I loved the book Miss Match that I read by Armstrong, so I was thrilled with the chance to read another by her! Will they admit to their true feelings for each other, or will they continue to fight against them since they are complete opposites in every way! Armstrong has a way with words that kept me interested and reading until the very end. A fun story with sizzling chemistry that still stays clean, Mix N Match is a book that I would recommend to all of my book friends!
I received a copy of this book for free, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I have not read the other books in this series but did not feel I needed to. The author gives you a delightful read of just what the title said. Mitch and Zoey are mix match totally opposites but that is what makes this book such a wonderful read.
I loved the humor, laughed and chuckled my way through it. I would have liked a little more information at the end but since this is a series I might get my wish if the next book comes out it might take up where this one let off.
I thought it was a gre I have not read the other books in this series but did not feel I needed to. I thought it was a great read with wonderful characters that kept you smiling. It was well written with wonderful characters you can relate to. I loved the bricking it really added to the story. Passion was there strong hot very clean but you have no doubt how they feel. This book was so much fun. The pacing is good, dialogue is witty, attraction is zinging. I think this book may be my favorite so far.
Opposites attract! I love reading books by Lindzee Armstrong. And now I need to go to Paris! The witty dialogue and the emotion that slowly enraptures the reader makes this book a gem. Read full review in the November issue of InD'tale Magazine. I listened to the audiobook this time around. I thought the narrator did a great job especially with Zoe.
Zoe is Brooke's best friend and maid-of-honor, and Mitch is Luke's assistant, best friend and best man in the upcoming wedding. Zoey and Mitch are like oil and water--she's spontaneous and can be a bit outrageous, while Mitch is all about I listened to the audiobook this time around.
Zoey and Mitch are like oil and water--she's spontaneous and can be a bit outrageous, while Mitch is all about following the plan and keeping things under control, sometimes to a fault. Zoe didn't know Mitch had taken on a lot of responsibility at a young age taking care of his younger siblings, and didn't have time for a lot of fun. I was glad to see Mitch loosen up a bit when they played in the rain, and for Zoe to understand that sometimes she needed to give in a little.
If these two had talked a bit they wouldn't have fought so much, but then I guess the romantic tension wouldn't have been there. I guess I can't have everything. I was happy they both realized sometimes you have to give in a little when you're in love. I really enjoyed this book from the Match series! Maybe it's the idea that opposites attract and there is a happy ending for everyone. Plus, it was set in Paris!
LOVE Paris! Fun and clean romance! This is the nth book of Lindzee Armstrong that I have read. I have been signed up to her ARC team and I get to be fortunate to get to read all her books for free.
This is the third book in the series. Unfortunately, I didn't to get to read her books in chronological order. But it doesn't matter because each one is a stand alone, so you can read them in any order. Whatever suits your mood. This installment is the love story of Zoey and Mitch. These two are polar opposites but they seem to have an This is the nth book of Lindzee Armstrong that I have read.
These two are polar opposites but they seem to have an undeniable attraction towards each other, even if they tried to deny it relentlessly. Zoey is Brooke's best friend and maid of honor. Mitch is Luke's best man and also his loyal and efficient assistant. So, being that Luke and Brooke are going to be married, these two will most likely be closer to each other.
And more so, because they both play a very important role to the wedding and to the couple. With the coming wedding going to be held in France and the couple unable to attend personally to the preparations and to avoid everyone uninvited and the press from getting wind of where the wedding will be, these two will have to step up and make sure that the wedding will be as planned. No hiccups. This is probably the funniest of all the No Match for Love novellas I've read.
Mitch and Zoey are like a cat and a dog that can't seem to help but be at each other's throats. Being put together in the City of Lights and where every corner seems to be a romantic spot. Will these two be infected by the love bug too? Will these two finally be soften by the romantic scenery and finally admit that as opposites as they are, they too can find some common ground and be together?
I have read a lot of stories and love stories formed in Paris. I can't blame any of those authors, just looking at those pictures of the city, you can't help but fall in love. These two characters in this story, Zoey and Mitch, were no exception. Paris is undoubtedly the city of love or the most romantic city in the world.
These two have walked its street, ate the food and smelled its air. Yes, it's probably something in the air and these two, turned out to be not immune. Definitely, they caught the love bug too but not after a very strong resistance and constant bickering. But love is a more powerful force and these two have no more power over it. They finally surrendered. I really enjoyed this story.
Ah, Paris alone is such a treat already. I imagined myself walking through the streets of Paris, following Mitch and Zoey as they try to get acquainted with the city, at the same time trying to accomplish what they are set to do. All the picturesque landmarks and the museums, it's every traveler's dream. I totally enjoyed that. These two proved to be great friends to Brooke and Luke.
These do would do anything for their two best friends and make sure that they got the wedding that they dream and they want. These two ended up doing what they probably wouldn't have thought doing, much less ending up in each other's arms and pretending to be exactly farthest from what they are.
But in the end, pretending wasn't so bad at all. It's always amusing to listen or imagine two people always arguing or always trying to shoot the other down, but deep down, they can't wait to just be with that person. Definitely, opposites attract just like magnets. And Zoey and Mitch are just a concrete example. They're polar opposites, but their differences are what exactly draw each one towards the other. I just love the quote below. It summed up how these two are just perfect for each other.
And wouldn't it be nice to actually meet and fall in love with someone who's exactly your opposite, like the North to your South, yet you can't imagine being with anyone else. He can turn your world upside-down but you wouldn't have it any other way. You have me so frazzled I don't know which way is up. You make me believe I can jump off a cliff and not only survive, but enjoy the ride down and make something good out of the disaster waiting for me at the bottom. You're crazy and chaotic and spontaneous.
You upset all my carefully laid plans and schedules. And I don't care. Romance This was a cute read, more of a 3.
This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The third in this series, and I think my least favorite so far. I know there are others after this, but I feel like this really rounded out the 'trilogy' that was the story of the original three couples nicely. So nicely, that I'm not sure I need the next story in the series. But, we'll see. It was my least favorite because it was the most 'ridiculous'. The whole concept is that the paparazzi have become obsessed with getti The third in this series, and I think my least favorite so far.
The whole concept is that the paparazzi have become obsessed with getting shots of Brooke and Luke and anything to do with their wedding, including trying to get actual photos of the wedding.
So much so, that Luke and Brooke have taken great measures to keep their wedding date from anyone who didn't need to know exactly when or where it was.
I know Luke was famous and the tabloids harassed him a fair bit in the first novel of the series, "Miss Match", but for some reason I never pictured him at the level of famous that caused paparazzi to stalk his wedding plans.
I pictured him as a maybe like a Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg. Famous, but no one really seems to be salivating for the intimate details of Zuckerberg's life, and his wedding photos were printed in like People and then everyone moved on.
I don't remember a crazy mania, dubbing it the wedding of the year. It felt like Armstrong was treating it more as like the mania that surrounds a royal wedding, which I found a little ridiculous. So, because they are trying to keep the relentless paps from ruining their big day, they enlist Zooey and Mitch to finalize the wedding details for them for two weeks in Paris.
They are getting married at Versailles, and so all the other vendors are there as well. Because Luke and Brooke don't want to tip the paps that they're taking a trip to France and looking at all these wedding vendors, possibly giving away their wedding date, Zooey and Mitch agree to the plan.
We learn that at the engagement party, Mitch and Zooey kissed, a passionate kiss that sparked some hidden feelings, but then Zooey made out with another dude the next day and now they are rude to each other. The rest of the story is Zooey and Mitch running around doing mindless wedding chores while simultaneously 'falling back in love'. Mind you, they only ever shared one kiss and have never had more than a semi friendly relationship before then.
It's the classic opposites attract story where they figure out they balance each other out, with the added drama of avoiding a stalker-azzi. In the end, all goes perfectly for Luke and Brooke and their wedding, and Zooey and Mitch confirm their love for each other. Oh, and they end up getting legally married. Because the handful of kisses they've shared and the brief learning to adapt to each other's differences was plenty of time and commitment for them to know they wanted to be married.
And sure, there are plenty of people who have very wonderful marriages after only knowing each other for two weeks. But it's not super common, so when it's done like this, it just feels a little like "oh seriously, c'mon". Basically, it felt like Armstrong just wanted to get the ultimate "happy ending" to round out what she probably thought was going to be the end of the series, ending it all on an extremely high note.
Overall, it was a fairly enjoyable read. Zooey and Mitch were my least favorite couple, and I feel like they got significantly less character development because we spent so much time having them do wedding errands.
Generally, I feel like Luke and Brooke and Andi and Ben got a lot more fleshed out as characters in their novels. Because of that, I enjoyed their stories more and was more 'excited' when they finally got together in the end.
I got this book when it was free in Amazon. And this is my first read from the author so I'm not familiar with her work, this series nor her writing 'voice'. So I came into this without much expectations. What I really liked: The environment in which most of the story is placed. Creating a line of 3 or more blocks causes those blocks to be eliminated.

A Touch of Paradise is a story in which Alina Popescu showcases her trademark type of writing that is elegant, easy and youthful.
Lily Velden meets the sea and land in a story that its heart felt and deeply touching and shows us that the only place where one has to Belong is in the heart of his loved one. Finally Dale Cameron Lowry proves that neither culture, nor religion, miles or years can stop the true yearning and that Home is only where the heart is. Forbidden by Layla Dorine When freedom comes to a small town with small minded people in the shape of a handsome drifter, there are always consequences.
Both of the characters are of mixed ancestry, and the way present and past are mixed makes an intriguing story to be read in one breath. Saying more would be a spoiler so just sit back and enjoy. I loved this from the first word to the last and I can term it sweet despite the hardships Guy had to go through. Absolutely delightful story!

Yet this fierce physical desire was countermanded by the knowledge that such a thing was impossible, taboo, and conflicting impulses left him frozen in place.
