The Match by Sarah Adams
DID NOT FINISH: 4%

I probably didn’t give this a fair enough shot, but I couldn’t handle the writing style (telling instead of showing, general obtuseness of the FMC…it felt like a bad tv show episode where a character has to say “WOW haha good thing I had your spare set of keys otherwise you’d be in jail rn!!!!” And then the thing is never mentioned again). 

Maybe it was a character choice that the girl refuses to say “tits”, but “FUN BITS”?? And “over the shoulder…you know…” 
Get a grip. 

And THEN when she met the guy and shook hands with him, his hands were apparently SO big that it was described as looking like a child’s hand when enveloped in his. Which, gross, but not that unusual for books to do. But that PLUS all of the additional sexualizing he does of the main girl before they even have a conversation and he has electric blue eyes and is BROODY. 

I just couldn’t do it.
