Not the most exciting book in the world, I found it kind of boring. The one smut scene wasn’t very descriptive or intriguing. Just not a fan of the whole book in general.
Match Cut: A Brother's Best Friend, Small Town Romance
by Julie Olivia
VIOLETI fell in love with the boy at the movie theater.
He had untied sneakers and a penchant for everyone but me.But I’ve grown up, moved away, and created a life with options.
Ten years later, I’m now out of them.Everything is exactly the same at Foxe Hill.
Keaton still has that dimpled smile. And I’m still a mess for him. KEATONI noticed the girl behind the camera.
She was the town’s little sister to everyone but me.But it’s been too long and I’ve been too patient.
Ten years later, I’m not sure I have any more patience to spare.Violet’s shy pink lips are now a fiery red.
And, this time, I can’t stay away. Match Cut is a full-length, stand-alone, small town romance with fun campfire hangouts, movie theater makeouts, and campfire shenanigans. It is the first book in the Foxe Hill Series. Each book in the series can be read individually but are most enjoyed as a whole! Dual POV. 18+ for language and spice.

Kinda boring
Swoon worthy!!!
LOVED THIS brother's best friend romance!!!
Small town sweetness ❤️
I’m so glad I got my hands on a copy of this book, I finished it in one sitting. There’s something about small town romances that tug on my heart strings, they remind me so much of my life growing up.
Match Cut was a fantastic feel good, sweet romance.
One Bad Element Outweighs Many Good
I enjoy romance of many stripes, but sometimes I do question why I keep reading contemporary romances. Perhaps it is because I have found a few books and authors that I enjoy. So many contemporary romances oddly combine uncomfortable parts. Like this book, for example. I liked the small-town feel of it. The characters are likable, decent people. There’s no heavy angst or drama. There's a charming, slow-burn feel to the brother’s-best-friend romance. Both characters have room to grow, and each learn something about themselves as they look at their world through the eyes of the other.
It all sounds good, right? And it is, mostly. But the one thing I can never get past, and frankly, ruins a book for me, is the casual use of profanity. I truly wish that authors would put that a book has swearing or other crude language (at any level) in the description/blurb. That way, people like me could quickly bypass the book. And, no, saying that a book is meant for 18+ audiences doesn’t cut it; when I see that, I think it means that it will have steamy sex scenes, not profanity. I have no issue with those!
For me, all the other delightful elements can carry me along quite well for a while… until I run across those profane or crude words. They simply jar me right out of the story as I believe that the swearing is neither warranted nor necessary in a small-town contemporary romance (or any fiction, really). So, while I liked many elements of this book, I found the swearing and crudeness pulled me right out of my suspended disbelief, ruining the effect of the book. If you don't mind swearing in your fiction or contemporary romance, this probably won't affect you as much as it did me.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
Lovely story
A lovely story that was a joy to read. I liked the slow burn of their relationship. It felt real and was believable. Each step forward was fun to read as I couldn’t wait for them to finally be together with the knowledge that they were meant to be.
