Synopsis (Goodreads):
Just as Marion Matched’s relationship is heating up and her business is exploding with clients, a twisted curse is cast on all the men of Premonition Pointe. Now Marion is unable to make any matches and her own boyfriend is acting very peculiar. If that wasn’t enough, her flighty sister arrives in town looking for help out of a jamb. Everything is falling apart around Marion, and if she doesn’t figure out how to lift the spell, she’s in danger of losing the beloved life she’s built for herself. While navigating hot flashes and early stages of arthritis, Marion needs all the help she can get from the Premonition Pointe coven before something worse happens… like she has to move in with her mother.
Thoughts on Outmatched Witch: No lie, I did NOT care for Charlotte when she first rolled into town with her free range style of...well, everything. She runs roughshod over Marion's objections, lets her dog run wild (in her sister's house!), and is just...meh. Basically, she drove me a little crazy and it bothered me in the beginning that both Marion and her father forgave her for her actions (both past and present) kind of easily.

That said, Charlotte grew on me. Given her parental issues (with her mom, not Marion's dad), I can understand her flightiness. And her barrel in there attitude with Marion. I didn't like it, but I can understand it.

She did complicate things for Marion, though. As in "oops, I accidentally unleashed a curse" sort of complicated. Since Marion is unable to let bad things happen when she can do something about it, soon she and Charlotte are trying to right said curse. She's also planning mixers for her matchmaking clients, trying to stay connected to Jax despite Charlotte's pup, and dealing with the aggravation of her mother being in town.

Yeah. Complicated. And a little messy. But Marion does what she needs to do and rushes in when someone needs saving. Throw in some coven time, some sex-ay shower shenanigans with her dude, and some grossly twisted things that need to be uncovered and, well, you've got a solid story. *thumbs up*
