thank you so much Netgalley for this ARC.

I was really looking forward to read this book but unfortunately i dont have anytime, so therefore i couldn't give any review or thoughts about this book, but i hope this book is as good as i expecting.

This wasn’t a bad read, just very predictable. The enemies to lovers trope was easy to predict, but having it set in Vietnam with the wonderful descriptions, transported you there.
Including the cultural responsibilities added a new depth.

This was so so cute!!!! I felt that the descriptions were magical and unique. I'm a sucker for rating books based on vibes, and this one was completely that.. I love how drawn they were to each other. Just go read this book and you can thank me later.

✔️forced proximity
✔️dislike to love
✔️ opposites attract
✔️ set in vietnam

After reading this, I want to go to Vietnam so badly! All the places Adam and Evie go sound absolutely heavenly and oh-so-beautiful. The whole reading experience was pleasant because of the beautiful scenery it all happened.

I liked Adam and Eview individually and together, it was so fun to read how they got to know each other better and how they fell in love. Evie and Fen's friendship was so wholesome and one of my favourite things. However, there were still some moments that were a bit awkward or lacked chemistry.

Overall, it was a lovely summer read with the perfect holiday vibes and the perfect amount of romance, lightness, and serious issues.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book was just ok! It was a good read but I just wanted a little more from the storyline. I am truly grateful for this arc :)

This was a great story with some of the most beautiful scenery descriptions I have read.

Adam and Evie were strong and vulnerable and feisty.

A fantastic read!

Evie’s life is a mess, but she has one last chance for a fresh start—by joining a matchmaking tour in Việt Nam. Once there, she meets Adam, a grumpy workaholic who's equally sceptical about the whole setup. Despite their contrasting personalities, sparks ignite as they embark on adventures together, discovering that sometimes love appears when you’re not looking for it.

This book was an enjoyable read. The plot was engaging, and I especially enjoyed following Evie and Adam on their excursions through Việt Nam. The setting added charm and gave the story a unique, refreshing backdrop.

The romance was mostly cute if a bit 'insta-lovey' at times. I enjoyed their banter and Adam's pining for her, but the meddling by Ruby and their father and the resulting miscommunication felt a bit heavy-handed. This trope slowed the story down and felt more like a forced attempt to create tension than an organic part of their relationship. (Miscommunication never works for me)

Some character choices also didn’t quite add up—like Evie continuing to text her ex after he abruptly fired her. This felt like an unnecessary contrivance to stir up miscommunication, rather than a decision consistent with her character.

Overall, Adam and Evie’s Matchmaking Tour offered plenty of sweet moments, especially in its early stages, and the Vietnamese setting was a true highlight. However, the forced drama and certain character inconsistencies made it challenging to fully invest in their love story.

Excellent book, loved it! Looking forward to more from this author! Apologies for the lateness of my review

Evie Lang’s beloved Auntie Hâo has passed away and wishes to leave her beautiful San Francisco home to Evie - if Evie goes on a matchmaking tour, around Vietnam, within three months of receiving this information. The clause isn’t that she has to find love (which is good as she’s already dating somebody in her English department) but to go to her ancestral homeland with an open heart, and see where it leads her. She’s not convinced - until she discovers that her boyfriend has been cheating on her, and she decides she has nothing to lose, and, maybe, a whole lot to gain.

Meanwhile, Adam Quyen has been asked by his sister, and business partner, to attend their first matchmaking tour not just as an attentive part-owner, but as an active participant. His long term relationship has recently broken down, and she thinks it would be good for him to know what the tour is like, and what it can do.

Both Adam and Evie are instantly drawn to each other - although not necessarily in a good way, after an initial accidental encounter on the streets of Ho Chi Minh city - but over the tour their feelings towards each over evolve. But with multiple matching making possibilities, and the pressing weight of careers and family expectations, the course of true love never did run smooth.

I really enjoyed this book! The story feels so fresh and vibrant, as we move through so many gorgeous Vietnamese locations, and see these characters grow and reach out for what they truly want out of life.

Adam and Evie aren’t always the best at communicating but that makes sense - they’re both in a confusing period of flux in their lives, and not only are they contending with their own thoughts and feelings, others are often butting in and meddling as well.

(Also, I have to just mention the cave scene. Not saying anymore, but goodness. Shout out to the cave scene.)

Overall, it’s a story about being brave, cultural identity, taking the opportunities life gives you, and breaking away from familial expectations. It was a joy to read.

Thank you to the publishers, and Netgalley, for the copy to review.

While I appreciated the cultural elements that were the backdrop to the story - these were written with care and were refreshing to read about - I crucially wasn’t won over by the main couple. I was not a fan of Evie and Adam’s ‘meet-cute’, and my feelings towards their relationship never improved. I didn’t believe in their almost instant antagonism and their supposed undeniable chemistry. This dyanmic came across as forced and I didn’t find it romantic. Unfortunately, this meant that I wasn't invested in the outcome of their relationship. This was a real shame because this rom com contained a lot of great ingredients.

This is every Rom com girlies dream and I can just say the cover is TO DIE FOR.

The romance is one that keeps your heart racing and warm. It’s my favourite combo.

It felt very emotional at points and I loved the message of being led by your heart!

Oh my god, this book was definitly better than what I expected and I truly enjoyed it SO MUCH. I couldn't put it down and I really think that the author delivered what was promised.
The tropes were super well excuted and I loved every single one.
Please give this one a chance - it's totally worth it!

Adam and his sister Ruby have set up a matchmaking business where their customers get to date different people while touring the beautiful Vietnam. Adam is sceptical about the whole thing until he meets Evie.
Evie is on the matchmaking tour to honour her late aunts wishes and to inherit her house.
Having visited Vietnam a few years ago this book instantly took me back to its wild beauty and extremely lovely people. I’m not usually a big romance reader but I really loved Adam and Evie’s story and all the interesting characters we meet along the way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good adventure packed love story

This book was a really enjoyable comfort read that I will continue to come back to when I want a cozy evening. It was so lovely to experience a modern romance book that wasn’t primarily set in the UK or America, and getting to hear about the beautiful landmarks that all the characters were able to experience in Vietnam was really exciting.

The pairing of Adam and Evie was really fun to read and it was interesting to see how their lives had differed although they both shared a similar heritage. Evie being a Vietnamese-American city girl that hasn’t known anything but her western life, and Adam growing up with a strict traditional family in the heart of Vietnam. The banter between the two was very entertaining and it was awesome to see how each character found their person, allowing each and every one to grow into their true selves.

I really appreciated the way the book deals with loss and grief, to see Evie gradually heal and feel closer to her Auntie Hào and her history was really therapeutic.

Rich with culture, beautiful scenery and joyous banter, Adam and Evie’s Matchmaking Tour was a refreshing and heartwarming read that really brought back perspective of what’s important in life.

The first 60% of the book was so good and I felt like it could have had the potential of being over a four-star, but when the couple got together I started getting annoyed by both of them, also I feel like the family relationships are where really interesting and I want to know more about them, especially when there was some type of conflict, but the author didn't explore them enogh for me to relate to them.
Another thing that give me the ick, but that's totally on me, is the nickname for evie, that was 'baby' and I hate that.
But in the end I feel like this is a really good romance and if you like the main characters you're gonna really love this book.
thank you netgally and Quercus books for this arc!

A gorgeous opposites attract romance set against the backdrop of Vietnam. Really interesting insight into a different culture, and I loved the setting and its impact on both the characters and the plot. Really really lovely!

I liked reading this book from start to finish. I didn't devour it, but it was a nice read of both entertainment and engagement. I really liked how the narrative was set in Vietnam and how prominent it was within the storyline; it felt like a genuine part of the narrative rather than it just being a backdrop to a relatively mediocre narrative. I think this really helped to bring the scenarios to the heart.

It was a romance novel, but it also felt like a romance novel within themselves. It felt like a lot of the book was spent trying to demystify previous stereotypes and misconceptions about others and it felt really nice to have that element of self-growth throughout,

The premise of this was the perfect set up for a romance, plus our characters touring Vietnam was a great way to keep them in close proximity. This could actually make a great adaptation for that reason. Outside of the love story, it was fun to see the trip through Evie. I enjoyed Evie as a character too. The downside is I just didn't buy into the romance. Adam and Evie have an instant spark but I could never quite see why. It all moved fast but never really felt earned. Plus when the author was going for flirtation, I found Adam often came off smarmy instead. A shame because there's a great setup here and a solid cast of supporting characters.

Thank you NetGalley, Quercus and Nora Mguyen for this copy in exchange for my honest review.

I loved Adam and Evie's Matchmaking Tour and I couldn't stop smiling! This delightful read is a perfect blend of humor, romance, and a touch of whimsy.

The story follows Adam and Evie as they navigate the ups and downs of love while running a quirky matchmaking service. Their chemistry is electric, and the witty banter keeps you hooked from start to finish.
The authors writing shines with warmth and cleverness, making this a lighthearted escape that also touches on deeper themes of self-discovery and connection.

If you're looking for a fun, feel-good read that will leave you swooning, look no further! Perfect for cozy nights in or a day at the park. Highly recommend!

A classic love story!
It was also lovely in this book to enjoy the travel and the descriptions of all the beautiful places in Vietnam they visit along the way!
