About this ebook
Can a librarian's matchmaking mischief lead to a love that rewrites their stories?
If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.
Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.
"With a uniquely heartfelt message, lovable characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, Sarah Monzon's novel is a delight!"--MELISSA FERGUSON, bestselling author of How to Plot a Payback
This is a sweet he-falls-first, opposites attract, matchmaker romantic comedy with disability representation. Perfect for fans of books about books and kisses-only romances.

This one is a book-lover’s dream! Quotes and references to novels galore, this story is a love-letter to bibliophiles everywhere. This is the first novel I’ve read by Ms. Monzon, but I am already now eyeing some others by her to pick up. An Overdue Match was spot-on in its mixture of humor, romance and learning moments. Emotional depth with a side-twist of fun, I enjoyed this book a lot! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views are mine

I was enchanted by this story. I appreciated that the main characters had so much depth, great chemistry, and it was a privilege to watch their faith journey. The humor and banter between them and honestly all the characters had me smiling and laughing out loud. I was so invested in what happened to everyone. This story is rich with fantastic characters, excellent do-overs, and relatable characters. I was given complimentary copy and not required to write a positive review.
