The Perfect Disaster
by Abby Tyler
Her giant pup drags her across town, right into the arms of the football coach.
Abby Tyler welcomes you to the witty, well-meaning busybodies of Applebottom, Missouri, where the community takes its pies — and its matchmaking — very seriously.
Ginny Page arrives in Applebottom with a problem — a Great Dane she rescued three days before her big move.
An untrained Great Dane that outweighs her by twenty pounds.
When Roscoe trashes the doggie bakery on Town Square, the locals send their strong, single football coach to help Ginny tame her new addition.
Carter McBride is a favored son despite his team’s losing tradition. He got his heart broken on national television, and he’s content to hide in Applebottom and underachieve himself into oblivion.
Until Ginny. Her devotion to her students and this wild, crazy dog inspire him to be a better man. With the town’s encouragement, Ginny and Carter learn that sometimes life’s biggest setbacks can turn a disaster into the perfect match.
All Applebottom books are clean and wholesome standalone HEA romances that can be read in any order.

Favorite Quotes:
Maude came back and took another peek at my notes and told me I was too old to be sparking over Alfred Felmont. I nearly smacked her with my good leather notebook, except I have a high regard for our distinguished group and don’t want to get blood on our minutes.
What are our childhoods for, except to traumatize us?
No one could sneeze in this town without someone holding out a box of tissue.
“Gertrude looks like she’s just bit a lemon.” Ginny bit back a smile. Gertrude, with her helmet of white hair and sour expression, did indeed seem to be permanently displeased.
Just listen to yourself, Maude. You’re going off like a preacher during Lent.
My Review:
I was an instant fan just a few sentences into Abby Tyler’s amusing debut novel of The Sweetest Match, and she has topped that with her clever sequel of The Perfect Disaster. I adore this wittily written small-town series and giggle-snorted my way through this fun and frothy tale featuring the new arrivals of Roscoe, an excitable gentle giant and rescued Great Dane; and Ginny, his petite new dog mom, whom Roscoe clearly outweighed. The meddlesome biddies of Applebottom discussed the large and vexing loose cannon and as they just weren’t having it, decided to tag in Carter, the handsome and single high school football coach for muscle. The snark and petty sniping those old crones tossed at each other and under their breath was comedic gold.
About the Author
Abby Tyler loves puppy dogs, pie, and small towns (she grew up in one!) Her Applebottom Matchmaker Society books combine the sweet and wholesome style of romance she loves with the funny, sometimes a-little-too-truthful characters she remembers from growing up in a place where everyone knew everybody’s business.
Sounds like my kinda sugary sweet romance. But, that dog looks more like a Hooch from Turner and Hooch, rather than a Great Dane 😉
LOL – I had the same thought about Hooch
hahahaha!!! great minds…
This looks really cute!
Not sure it’s my kind of book but a good review!
This looks sweet! I wanna taste it 🙂
Great review. I might have to add this to my TBR.
Not a series I’m familiar with, but books that make me giggle-snort are rare so I might have to pick this one up.
I so want this one!!!!
Great review – I’m sold, there is a big pup in it!
