The Match Faker (The Matchbooks)

He’s not her perfect match, but he might be perfect for her.
Jasmine Palmer is looking for love, but only if it comes with stability. Unfortunately, this also leads to f*ckbois. After another one dumps her by text message, Jasmine hires a professional matchmaking company to search for her. They say they’ve found her perfect match using their matching algorithm with a 99% success rate. But “Nick” is an immature bartender with a bad case of Peter Pan Syndrome, even if he is hot and nice. He may not be boyfriend material, but she decides to cut her losses and asks him to help her save face at an upcoming event where her now engaged ex will be. It’s a one-time arrangement that won’t hurt anyone.
This isn’t the first time Nick has followed a beautiful woman with a questionable idea. So, when Jasmine, a random customer at his bar, asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend, because she made the mistake of working with her ex and his parents, he figures he’s done a lot worse for far less. A night of rubbing elbows with rich people is a nice change from cleaning drunk people puke from the bar’s bathrooms and trying (and failing) to win his father’s approval. They even have a pretty nice time…and a really nice kiss. When Jasmine offers to repay the favor whenever he needs one, he wants to cash in sooner rather than later.
Prim and proper Jasmine could be the key to a harmless ruse that would get him the loan he needs to buy his bar. But just when he thinks they’re partners in crime, he realizes that this whole time Jasmine thought he was someone else with the same name.
If he tells her the truth, she might think he purposefully misled her and pull out of their deal. But losing her might actually be worse than losing his livelihood.
Either love or science will prevail when it comes to deciding if these two misfits can redefine what it means to be a perfect match.
