Meet Your Match Book 3

Home for the summer, Samantha Kinsey expects lazy afternoons and plenty of fun as the pseudo-nanny for her two favorite kids. Instead, she finds herself playing chauffeur to endless activities and wondering how her carefree summer turned into a full-time driving schedule.

Everything changes when she meets Colten McCoy.

A hardworking cowboy who prefers routine over spontaneity, Colten is as steady as they come—and about as easy to budge as a fence post set in concrete. While Sam is determined to add a little adventure to his carefully ordered world, Colten insists he likes life exactly the way it is.

But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to tell who’s changing whom. Sometimes the people we try hardest to change are exactly the ones we’re meant to love.

Editorial Reviews

"Loved this entire series!! Rachael Anderson has a gift. That's all there is to it."

—Tori, Goodreads.com

"This is for all of us who want to read a good, clean story that is sweetly rewarding, with an ending that makes you want to read it all over again."

—Tressa, Wishful Endings

"I laughed out loud in parts of this book, and teared up in a few places also. I am a sucker for romance, children, and animals. If you enjoy clean romance, with large, lovable, extended families, then you will love this book."

—Angela, Goodreads.com

Too squeaky clean

I notice other reviewers have remarked that this is a squeaky clean book. In my opinion it goes too far in that direction and reads like a teen romance. Both the characters are very young with little life experience. It's all insta love and having to decide their entire future after knowing each other a matter of weeks. Still answerable to their parents for their decisions such as Sam promising her mother that she will remain a virgin until she is are married. Seriously! Disappointed as I enjoyed this author's previous books.

Loved It

Wow...every now and then I need a love series that isn't filled with x-rated love scenes. Every once and a while I need those love stories that are about everyday possible love. He kind of love you would find on the Halmark Channel.Sam has always been my favorite character from the beginning of the series. Maybe because she reminded me a little bit line me. I always wanted her more in the story. So when I found out she was the lead in this one, I couldn't be happier. I love the back and forth between her and Colton. It's that love that starts out with innocent flirting and ends with a bang.Colton is that typical cowboy that one can't help falling I love wigs, but he is more than his looks. He is a hardworking young man who loves what he does.I think what I loved most about this series was the family ties. All of this characters are one big happy family. They are each other's best friends and would do anything everything they can for each other. I really like their bond; that's what stood out for me.I thoroughly enjoyed the Meet your Match series. I can't help but wish there was more from these characters that love so dear.

Clean fun modern romance

Rachel Anderson is a new author to me, but I have ate up her Meet Your Match series as well as the Tangelwood series. As an avid reader, you don't always find an author who can blend realistic characters with interesting and engaging stories that make you want to stay up just one more hour. I have thoroughly enjoyed the authors ability to blend real life experience and advice into stories of hope and promise no matter the challenges the characters face. I highly recommend her books and have thoroughly enjoyed reading them.

Sweet fun read

What a great addition to the Meet Your Match series by Rachel Anderson.Sam has always been such a fun, spunky addition to the books and I loved watching her grow. What fun to see her get her happily ever after too!I loved that the book took on more of a rural country feel and I adored the connection between characters. Colton and Sam's relationship is so fun and endearing. I loved that they were such opposites but yet perfect for each other at the same time. They complimented each other so well. This book was enjoyable from front to back. I'd highly recommend reading the series in order so you know the other characters, different relationships, personalities and how everyone fits together. Squeaky clean romance that would be okay for YA as well as adult.Mild kissingClean Romance

Great story, just wish there would have been a better ending.

I loved this book, but I was a bit disappointed in the ending. I wanted more. And since this looks like the last book in this series, I guess my answers to a few loose ends may never be answered. Too bad, because otherwise this was a fantasic book. I loved the plot line and all of the characters. I love the fact that we always got to see a glimpse of the people in past books. And if one of those stories had an unanswered question about the couple here and there, it was usually addressed in the following book.This book ran me through a whole gammit of emotions and back. I was bawling my eyes out over the whole horse ordeal. I can't even imagine how that sweet little girl felt, or how guilty Colton must have felt about the whole situation. I also loved the bull riding expedition. I laughed for a 1/2 hr over that one. I love the whole big family dynamics in this story. How much fun would that be to have such wonderful, caring people surrounding you all the time?I was so sad that Sam went to N.Y., I really expected her to stay. Then again if she had, she would always be wondering about what could've been. I am so happy to see Colton take the bull by the horns and step-up, even though he was petrified of heights. BUT....I can't see Colton surviving for 2 yrs in the city, either. Sam, or no Sam.
