Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match Up” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great

pleasure to present Annie Rains!

 

 

About:

USA Today Bestselling Author Annie Rains writes heartfelt stories that will make you laugh, cry, and continue turning pages well past your bedtime. When Annie isn’t writing, she’s reading from her huge TBR pile or spending time with her husband, three kids, naughty foster dog, and feisty cat.

 

Writes:

 Annie writes heartwarming romance for both adults and young adults. Annie’s young adult debut THE MATCHBREAKER SUMMER hits shelves on April 5th!

In her fellow matchbreaker, has she found the perfect match?

 There’s nothing Paisley Manning loves more than her family’s summer camp—the glittering lake, the firefly trail, the time-honored traditions. But this is her last year to make memories, thanks to her mom’s new boyfriend, who has plans to whisk them away to Wyoming.

 Enter Hayden Bennett. Paisley and Hayden are like oil and water. She follows the rules, and he lives to break them. But when fate sticks them together and Hayden hears about Paisley’s problem, he has an idea: if a matchmaker can bring two people together, then maybe a couple of matchbreakers can do the opposite.

 As she and Hayden hatch a plan, Paisley can’t imagine a life without camp. But to her shock, she starts to dream of something else: kissing Hayden under a moonlit summer sky.

 

Dating profile-style bio of the author:

Annie Rains loves to get swept up in a small-town story, where everyone knows one another and gossip runs amuck. Her adult and young-adult stories are full of skipping hearts, hand holding, and first kisses.

 

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match for THE MATCHBREAKER SUMMER.

 

A read who:

  • Loves to laugh!
  • Enjoys reading about camp shenanigans and pranks, roasting s’mores, and catching fireflies.
  • Roots for the underdog—in this case two teens who become unlikely friends and more.
  • Believes that opposites attract in the best kind of way, and that first kisses are magical—especially when experienced under a starry night sky.
  • Falls in love easily with the characters in a story.
  • Keeps Kleenex handy because they can’t help laughing and crying right along with the characters.
  • Disregards sleep in order to finish a book—with no regrets the next day!

 

What to expect if we’re compatible:

  • More romantic contemporary adult and young adult romance full of love, laughter, and tears.
  • Heartwarming moments that make you sigh.
  • Smart, feisty heroines who don’t need to be rescued.
  • Rugged, good-looking heroes who just might need rescuing

THE MATCHBREAKER SUMMER by Annie Rains

The Matchbreaker Summer

 

A pitch-perfect summer camp rom-com about two teens with nothing in common who come together to help break up a romance and unexpectedly start one of their own...

Sixteen-year-old Paisley Manning has been attending Camp Starling since she was a little girl, when her parents ran it together. For the last few years, since her father’s death, she’s been the one helping her mom run the camp behind the scenes. This year, however, will be Camp Starling’s last hurrah because Paisley’s mom has met a guy online and they’re getting married.

Enter Hayden Bennett, who is working alongside Paisley. Paisley and Hayden are like oil and water. She follows the rules, and he seems to live to break them all. But when Hayden catches wind of Paisley's predicament, he has an idea. If a matchmaker in some computer algorithm caused the issue, a couple of real-life matchbreakers can fix it.

As they work to break up the happy couple, Paisley discovers that maybe Hayden's not so bad after all. Has she met her own perfect match in her fellow matchbreaker?
