Book Beginnings + Friday 56: A Meddled Match (Resort to Romance) by Jill Kemerer

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring the first novella in the Resort to Romance series - A Meddled Match by Jill Kemerer. I liked it a lot. It was a nice change from what I've been reading lately. 

About the Book
Get ready for ten weeks of romance in the Bahamas with a new series brought to you by some of the best authors in the inspirational and sweet romance genres…
 
Ten delightful - and standalone - novellas linked by one matchmaking week. You’ll want to devour each one!

A MEDDLED MATCH

Gavin Sterling wants no part of Matchmaking Week, but his eccentric great aunts insist he fill in for a no-show or he won't have a chance at inheriting their island resort. Surprisingly, his match intrigues him. Mollie is blunt, sassy, and best of all, has no idea he’s the son of a billionaire.
 
Mollie Macomb needs a relaxing vacation without the dating drama. A relationship with Gavin would never work in the real world, anyhow. He’s a gorgeous businessman. She's a quirky failure. But even the unlikeliest couple can find love during Matchmaking Week…

RESORT TO ROMANCE SERIES

It’s Matchmaking Week at an all-inclusive resort on a private island in the Bahamas. Each guest has been expertly paired and is here to enjoy one full week with their match. While there’s no money-back guarantee on the paid trip, the participants are guaranteed to find love!

Book Beginning
Gavin Sterling was not getting roped into Matchmaking Week. His great aunts could beg and plead and fake heart attacks all they wanted, but there was no way he was giving into their demands.

Friday 56
"You're awfully quiet." Mollie sat next to Gavin on the boat as it sped out to the nearby reefs. Water sprayed up and the engine made it hard to hear. But she didn't need to listen to his reply to know he was upset. "Is something wrong?"
