Sheri Marsh is perfectly happy being a confirmed bachelorette and has no plans to give up her single status. Besides, as many divorces as her parents have between them, if anyone knows why getting married is a bad idea, it's Sheri. But the matchmaking posse of Mule Hollow have set their sights on Sheri and are determined to find her a suitable husband, whether Sheri wants it or not.
Sheri decides the only way to get the women to leave her alone is to trick them into thinking she's already got a boyfriend. Pace Gentry, new man in town seems like the perfect candidate for her scheme. Only a couple problems... he's a new Christian who is dead set against the deception Sheri wants to play and he just happens to find Sheri to be the most insufferable woman he's ever met!
God works in mysterious ways and soon Sheri and Pace will have to accept that He has a plan for them and it includes their being together.
Meeting Her Match was my first introduction to the writing of Debra Clopton and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I found my way into this series somewhere in the middle but that did not affect my enjoyment of the story. While some of the other characters obviously had their stories told in preceding books in the series, enough back story was given about them that I felt like I got to know them just enough for their occurrences in this book.
I thought Sheri was a little too stubborn for her own good, but then considering her family history it's only natural she's afraid of marriage after what her parents put her through. I never quite grasped the logic behind her scheme to get back at the matchmakers in town since it seemed to me her plans would have the opposite results from what she intended.
Sheri also struggled with her faith in God as a result of her past. She believed god didn't care about her or He'd answer her prayers. She had a sadly skewed opinion that God only cares about the devout Christians. Pace is a "baby" Christian and his new faith in God really makes a difference in his life. I think the newness of Pace's acceptance of God makes quite an impact on Sheri and if not for pace, Sheri may not have come around when she did. I cheered wholeheartedly when Sheri finally comes to understand God and renews her faith, which allows her to accept Pace into her life fully.
