Scoring a Holiday Match. Mr. Match, #5

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.)
