The Perfectly Imperfect Match

Pitcher Dylan Dennings has his future all mapped out: make the minors straight out of high school, work his way up the farm system, and get called up to the majors by the time he’s twenty-three. The Plan has been his sole focus for years, and if making his dreams come true means instituting a strict “ no girls” policy, so be it. Lucy Foster, needlepoint ninja, big sister to an aspiring pitcher, and chicken advocate, likes a little mayhem. So what if she gets lost taking her brother to baseball camp...at her own high school? The pitching coach, some hotshot high school player, obviously thinks she’s a hot mess. Too bad he’s cute, because he’s so not her type. Problem is, they keep running into each other, and every interaction sparks hotter than the last. But with Dylan’s future on the line, he has to decide whether some rules are made to be broken... Disclaimer: This book contains a crazy night of moonlit skinny-dipping, a combustible crush, and kisses swoony enough to unwind even the most Type A athlete. Each book in the Suttonville Sentinels series is STANDALONE: * The Bad Boy Bargain * Swinging at Love * The Perfectly Imperfect Match

It won’t last, thinks Elizabeth. It’s fun, that’s all, thinks Jared. But they’re about to learnthat in a real love match, both players can win….

A Perfectly Imperfect Match by Marie Ferrarella Jared Winterset was not in the market for a wife and Elizabeth Stephens, a self–sufficient violinist, preffered playing her music than playing the field. Then a certain someone calls in the Mamas, and Jared and Elizabeth are thrown together, planning a 35th wedding anniversary party. Soon, the sparks are flying! They're about to learn that in a real love match, both players can win... Still The One by Michelle Major Only a distress call could summon Lainey Morgan back to the small hometown she had run from, leaving her family and the man she adored standing at the altar.

But he was the best veterinarian around – and the stray dog that had attached himself to her needed Ethan's attention. Almost as badly as she did... As for Ethan, Lainey was driving him crazy all over again, and ten years away had only made him want her more. Maybe a second chance at forever could be theirs after all...

He's gorgeous, successful, and sexy as hell. I figured it would be easy to find him a match-and save the family business at the same time.But the more time I spend attempting to find the perfect girl, the more I realize how much I want him for my own. What's the harm if we give in for just one night?I should have known that would never be enough.Now I'm on the verge of losing my job and my heart. We were an imperfect match from the start, but I don't know how to let him go.

La prima regola per un'organizzatrice di incontri? Mai innamorarsi del cliente! La trentaduenne Willow Hayes ha un progetto delineato per la sua vita: rilevare l’agenzia di incontri di famiglia e avere un bambino tutto suo. Il problema? Willow non è per niente brava a interpretare Cupido e, senza un lavoro ben retribuito, un bebè è fuori questione. Così, quando sua madre annuncia di voler vendere l’agenzia, Willow è costretta a mettersi alla prova in un’ultima sfida per dimostrare alla famiglia la sua abilità con gli affari di cuore. Peccato che sua madre scelga come cliente Reid Fortino, il suo vicino di casa nonché migliore amico e scapolo senza speranza. Reid è soddisfatto della sua vita così com’è: ha un lavoro di successo, storie divertenti senza impegno e una migliore amica con cui trascorrere le serate tra serie tv commoventi e prelibate cene fatte in casa. Insomma, non pensa minimamente ad accasarsi, né tantomeno a matrimonio e figli, perché è convinto che l’amore porti solo guai e sofferenze dopo aver visto la relazione dei propri genitori naufragare. Tuttavia, quando Willow gli chiede il piccolo favore di prendere parte a una serie di appuntamenti per trovare la partner perfetta, Reid non può far a meno di acconsentire: farebbe qualsiasi cosa per permettere alla sua migliore amica di realizzare i suoi sogni. Più tempo i due trascorrono insieme a cercare la ragazza ideale per Reid, che sembra non esistere affatto, più Willow si rende conto di quanto desideri tenere il suo migliore amico tutto per sé. E che male può fare cedere solo una volta e lasciarsi andare l’uno tra le braccia dell’altra? E invece, è l’inizio di una rivoluzione per i due migliori amici: Willow si ritrova sul punto di perdere la testa per Reid, e anche il lavoro. Reid non riesce a lasciarla andare, eppure ha progetti per il futuro molto differenti dai suoi. Insomma, nelle vite di Reid e Willow non c’è nulla di perfetto, ma il desiderio nascosto di entrambi è essere imperfetti insieme... saranno loro il match di cuori destinato a durare per sempre? Dopo Closer Corinne Michaels e Melanie Harlow tornano a scrivere insieme una adorabile commedia romantica.

This book presents recent research on predictive econometrics and big data. Gathering edited papers presented at the 11th International Conference of the Thailand Econometric Society (TES2018), held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on January 10-12, 2018, its main focus is on predictive techniques – which directly aim at predicting economic phenomena; and big data techniques – which enable us to handle the enormous amounts of data generated by modern computers in a reasonable time. The book also discusses the applications of more traditional statistical techniques to econometric problems. Econometrics is a branch of economics that employs mathematical (especially statistical) methods to analyze economic systems, to forecast economic and financial dynamics, and to develop strategies for achieving desirable economic performance. It is therefore important to develop data processing techniques that explicitly focus on prediction. The more data we have, the better our predictions will be. As such, these techniques are essential to our ability to process huge amounts of available data.
