About The Match by Sarah Adams:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Practice Makes Perfect comes an expanded edition of The Match—a charming romance novel about second chances and the healing power of love, with a never-before-seen chapter.
Sometimes love finds you when you least expect it.
Evie Jones has dedicated her life and very limited funds working for Southern Service Paws, the company that matched her with the love of her life: Charlie, a service dog trained to assist with her epilepsy. But it’s no secret that the company has been struggling to make ends meet. It’s up to her and her longtime mentor and boss to throw the fundraiser of the century to keep the doors open.
Then Evie meets Jacob Broaden at a client consultation meeting. There are instant sparks—but not the good kind, because Jacob’s daughter set up the meeting without his knowledge. Ten-year-old Sam has been recently diagnosed with epilepsy, and has wanted a service animal ever since. While he had hesitations at first, it doesn’t take long for Jacob to be convinced that a service dog, and possibly Evie, with her magical, woodland-green eyes, might just be the best thing for him and his daughter.
As Evie spends more time with Jacob and helps Sam find her perfect match with a lovable golden retriever named Daisy, she starts longing for something she’s never had before: a loving family. For Jacob, falling in love with Evie is the last thing he should be doing, but love has a way of finding those who need it most.

Orange Dresses: The Dress of the Summer
As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, one trend is making a vibrant statement this season: orange dresses. Declared the "dress of the summer," these lively garments are turning heads and setting the tone for warm-weather fashion.
Why Orange?
Orange, with its spectrum ranging from soft peaches to bold tangerines, embodies the essence of summer. This color exudes warmth, energy, and joy, reflecting the season’s vivacity. Whether you're strolling through a sunny park, attending a summer soirée, or relaxing at a beachside café, an orange dress captures the season's spirit perfectly.
Versatility and Style
Orange dresses are incredibly versatile, suitable for various occasions and settings. Pair a light, flowing orange sundress with sandals for a casual daytime look, or opt for a structured, vibrant orange cocktail dress to make a statement at evening events. The versatility of orange allows it to complement a wide range of accessories and footwear, making it easy to transition from day to night.
Flattering for All
One of the most appealing aspects of orange dresses is their ability to flatter a variety of skin tones. From fair to deep complexions, there's an orange hue that enhances natural beauty and radiates confidence. This inclusivity ensures that everyone can embrace the trend and feel fabulous.
Fashion Forward
Fashion designers and influencers are embracing orange as the must-have color this summer. Runways and social media feeds are awash with stunning orange ensembles, highlighting the creativity and boldness that this color brings. Whether in sleek, minimalist cuts or playful, bohemian styles, orange dresses are making a powerful statement.
How to Wear Orange
To fully embrace the orange dress trend, consider the following styling tips:
Accessorize Wisely: Neutral accessories like beige, white, or metallic tones balance the boldness of orange. For a daring look, consider contrasting colors like turquoise or fuchsia.
Play with Patterns: Floral, geometric, or abstract patterns can add depth and interest to your orange dress, making it uniquely yours.
Layer Thoughtfully: A lightweight denim jacket or a chic cardigan can add dimension to your outfit without overpowering the vibrant orange.
This summer, let orange dresses be your go-to fashion statement. Their bold hues, flattering appeal, and undeniable versatility make them the ultimate dress of the season. Embrace the sunshine, express your vibrant personality, and make every moment memorable in the perfect orange dress.
