Savannah Taylor thought she had planned for everything that could go wrong with her wedding. She never planned to be arrested at the altar for tax evasion and money laundering. It doesn’t take her long to prove to the FBI that it’s a mistake and her identity was stolen. Her fiancé’, Todd, decides he doesn’t want to hang around while Savannah tries to fix her money problems and get her identity back. Feeling like her life needs something, Savannah decides to find the person who she’s named Vanna, that stole her identity. This leads her to Naples, Florida where most of the stolen purchases were made.

However one mishap after another has Savannah wondering if she wouldn't have been better off staying home in Maples Rapids, Michigan working as an accountant for Refund City. Savannah knows she needs to make changes in her life; she wants to be more exciting and sexier, more than an accountant. She finds herself attracted to a man she thinks is gay, friends with a college girl in Naples on Spring Break, and trying to be who she thinks "Vanna" would be. But will any of it make her happy? Could the quizzes in magazines be the answer to her problems or the beginning of them? What will happen if she runs into the person who stole her identity?

MATCH GAME is one of those reads that you don’t want to put down. It’s so much fun and so easy to read that you just can’t help but adore the characters and the situations they find themselves in. Savannah is strong but also has self-doubts that lead to her many mishaps. I found this just the right read to take my mind off any problems I may have. While the sub-plot of identity theft is not made light of, it is used to add a touch of mystery and drama to the story. The main story is more about Savannah finding herself and just maybe a true love. I do hope this is just the beginning for these characters and that we see them again in the future. Ms. Brandt has written a delightful book that is sure to leave you smiling! I highly recommend this read to anyone looking for something to take their mind off their own troubles, Savannah's are sure to have you laughing
