Book Description
TWO Mr. Match Novellas in ONE! Story one: SCORING A HOLIDAY MATCH: Rose Gonzalez is CEO of her own company and one-hundred percent fine without a man in her life. But her friend Tallulah—who is now running the popular Mr. Match website—sees it differently. Rose agrees to meet the man the site has selected for her at the Jingle Bell Ball, mostly because the crab boat captain she’s being set up with could not possibly be her match. (★Even if he does look like a hot seafaring lumberjack.★) Can one night of magic convince Rose that she’s met her match? And will her hero’s devotion to crabs get in the way? ♥♥ This story was featured in the USA Today Bestselling Jingle Balls Anthology. Story two: SCORING WITH THE SURFER: Tallulah Jeffries is the new "Mr. Match," and she's doing things her own way. Tallulah: Nothing against Max Winchell. He’s the genius who created the site in the first place, and I’m not arguing that it worked for him. But he put me in charge, and that means it’s time to put the fire back in matching. (See what I did there?) Yeah, Max’s version was pretty by the book. People fill out the intake forms, the system parses them and does all that mathematical stuff Max was always going on about, and then it spits out matches based on statistical likelihood of agreement on various things. But there’s no wiggle room there. And I could be wrong, but I think making a love match is still something of an art. Maybe it’s just the woman’s perspective I’m bringing to it. Either way, I’m testing a new system. One with a little more human judgment applied. It’s Tallulah Time. Welcome to Ms. Match. (Okay, I signed a legal document saying I wouldn’t change the name officially. But between you and me. Wink wink, nudge nudge.)

Double Headers

ISBN: 1908165375
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
In Double Headers Keith Walmsley throws light into one of cricket’s more intriguing, if inconsequential, obscure corners by investigating the background of the two occasions in England when one county has been engaged in two first-class matches at the same time. Were they the result of mistakes in drawing up the fixture lists, or was there a more rational explanation? Double Headers also explores issues of team selection for these games, and looks into why there has been no recurrence since 1919 of a county playing two first-class matches at once. As well as examining these two instances in detail, it also identifies and explains the background to numerous other occasions, from all around the cricketing world, when teams ‘double-headed’, and even ‘triple-headed’. These include over two dozen other instances in Britain, and even some instances in Test cricket.

Book Description
Today Australian Rules football is a billion-dollar business, with superstar players, high-profile presidents and enough scandals to fill a soap opera. The game has changed beyond recognition – or has it? In A Game of Our Own, esteemed historian Geoffrey Blainey documents the birth and evolution of our great national game. Who were the characters and champions of the early days of Australian football? How were the first leagues formed? Why was the umpire's job so difficult? Journey back to an era when the ground was not oval, when captains acted as umpires, when players wore caps and jerseys bearing forgotten colours and kicked a round ball that soon lost its shape. A Game of Our Own tells the fascinating story of one of the world's oldest and most dynamic football codes. "Australians are not only very good at playing sport – we invent it as well. Fans of the game will love this book; it is a great read about a great game and how it all began." –Ron Barassi

Book Description
I never imagined the hottest proposition I’d ever get would include the word ‘yurt,’ but there it was. I'm Aubrey Kasper. I live in a dilapidated old resort in the mountains in Colorado that should probably be torn down. Instead? I'm renovating it with my brother. Archie (my brother) needs me, but he also needs some outside help, which is why he ended up inviting my high school crush to open up the bar operations. If I thought Wiley Blanchard was hot in high school... well, I couldn't have possibly imagined the fully grown-up, master distiller, smooth-talking version. He's tall, dark, and hilarious, exactly the way I like them. Wiley might not know quite what he's getting into. For one thing, I've definitely got the hots for him, and I'm not the most polished of flirts. (Turns out putting guys in a headlock doesn't alway communicate: I like you.) For another thing, he's stepping into a huge mystery our uncle set up for us... and if we can find the treasure he left, it just might save us all!

From USA Today bestseller Delancey Stewart: A touching new standalone romance in the Kasper Ridge series; I’ve got a plan to get out of this tiny town and off to the adventure I’ve been dreaming of. I’m just missing one tiny thing to pull this plan off… a boyfriend. I’ve been running the Kasper Ridge Guides and Gear shop since after high school. And for a long time, it’s been enough. But when I final in a contest to win the adventure of a lifetime, I’m ready to head out and see the world outside this tiny Colorado town. The only problem? My inside source says the contest organizers want to give the prize to a couple. And I’m decidedly single. Luckily, I’ve become good friends with Travis, a ridiculously handsome, intimidatingly large former fighter pilot. He’s unavailable in every sense of the word. Or at least that’s what I think…until we kiss in a moment of passion I never expected. And then suddenly, leaving town doesn’t seem like such a great plan. Pretending to be in love with Travis isn’t hard, and the cameras following us around for the week capture some footage that make it look it’s not too hard for him, either. But then an “unresolved issue” from Travis’s past shows up at the resort and reminds me exactly why I don’t date tall, gorgeous men in the first place.
