A rollicking, unforgettable romance about two strangers finding love despite their best efforts as they embark on a sweeping matchmaking tour through Việt Nam, perfect for readers of Carley Fortune and Abby Jimenez.
What’s a few weeks to a lifetime of promise?
Evie Lang’s life is in shambles. On the heels of losing her beloved aunt, she's unceremoniously fired from her poetry professorship by her secret boyfriend. Lacking income and inspiration, she's stuck in Ohio with no idea how to move forward—until hope arrives in a surprising letter.
Auntie Hảo left Evie the deed to her San Francisco row house, a place full of Evie’s happiest memories. The catch? To inherit, she must go on a pre-arranged matchmaking tour in Việt Nam. The last thing Evie wants is to spend time with a group of strangers looking for love. But she can't resist the chance to finally visit her family’s native home.
A world away, Adam Quyền has a chip on his shoulder. He’s working around the clock as CMO for his sister’s elite matchmaking business, a job complicated by her insistence that he knows nothing about love. He’s desperate to prove himself, so when she challenges him to join the inaugural tour, he reluctantly agrees.
Adam thinks Evie is chaotic and unpredictable. Evie thinks Adam is grumpy and uptight. But from the bustling streets of Hồ Chí Minh City to the soaring waterfalls in Đà Lạt, they keep getting thrown together, their animosity charged with attraction…and they discover that true love may be out there, if they are willing to take a leap.
Two stubborn hearts, one whirlwind adventure, Adam & Evie’s Matchmaking Tour is a story of how loving (and living) bravely can lead you to the most unexpected places—and the most imperfectly perfect loves.

Evie is a poet who's unexpectedly fired from her professorship. Her aunt has recently died, and for Evie to inherit her house in San Francisco, she has to go on a matchmaking tour in Việt Nam.
Adam is the CMO of his sister's matchmaking company, and his sister challenges him to participate in the matchmaking tour himself to better communicate what makes the company so special.
Although Adam and Evie have a rough start, their chemistry is beyond comparison. Are they a perfect match, even though they are very different on paper?
Adam and Evie's matchmaking tour is a fun holiday read that had me hooked from the very first page. I was unable to put the book down and finished it in a single day!
All the characters are interesting, and the explicit scenes are well-written. Between the hot moments, there is a meaningful plot to follow, and the stunning setting in Việt Nam and the exploration of the characters' cultural backgrounds set the novel apart from other romance books.
While I enjoyed the book a lot, the main characters' actions felt a bit unrealistic at times, and their character development seemed somewhat uneven. While the conclusions they came to made sense, their journeys to get there weren't very well-paced. Sometimes, it felt like their realizations came out of the blue, which lessened their emotional impact.
All in all, the book was a good time, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a holiday read with a less common setting!
