Synopsis: Bragg’s Match
Bragg’s Match by D.E. Haggerty is a delightfully chaotic and charming romantic comedy featuring an irresistible reverse age-gap romance, hilarious forced proximity antics, and the trademark quirkiness of Winter Falls.
Soleil is done taking care of people. After years of putting others first, she’s looking for a real man who can support her, not another project.
Enter Brody Bragg—sweet, clueless, and too young for her taste. When his bed literally goes up in flames (thanks to his latest disaster), he lands in hers. Cuddling happens, but Soleil is adamant that’s where it stops. She’s convinced Brody’s more man-child than man.
But Brody has other plans. Determined to prove he’s mature enough to be her partner, Brody embarks on a mission to win Soleil’s heart, even if his attempts often blow up—literally and figuratively.
From loud music scares to accidental pottery-smashing, his efforts toe the line between endearing and exasperating.
Meanwhile, the bustling, meddlesome Winter Falls community—with its loveable hippies and matchmaking mania—is dead set on making this unconventional romance bloom. And Brody’s mischievous older brothers are having way too much fun watching their youngest sibling flail in love.
Bragg’s Match is a laugh-out-loud, heart-warming story about taking chances, embracing imperfection, and discovering that love often comes in unexpected packages. Fans of small-town romances packed with humour, heat, and heart will adore the 4th instalment in the Bragg Brothers series!

Review: Bragg’s Match
Bragg’s Match by D.E. Haggerty is the fourth installment in The Bragg Brothers series, a charming romantic comedy series set in the beloved small town of Winter Falls.
This time, the story explores an age-gap romance with Soleil, a determined woman with a heavy past, and Brody, the youngest Bragg brother, whose light-hearted demeanour hides layers of untapped maturity.
Soleil’s resistance to Brody stems from her past experiences. She had to grow up fast, especially when she cared for her ailing mother—a role reversal that left her wary of relationships that echo her father’s carefree nature.
To her, Brody’s love of pranks and gaming signals immaturity, making it hard for her to see him as a romantic partner.
What sets Bragg’s Match apart is how Haggerty injects humour and heart into a story filled with familiar tropes like forced proximity, a shared bed, and the challenges of an older-woman-younger-man dynamic.
These elements, while classic, are handled with Haggerty’s signature wit, making them feel fresh and engaging.
The return to Winter Falls feels like visiting old friends. The Gossip Girls are as meddlesome as ever, adding their unique chaos to the budding romance, and the town’s quirky charm provides the perfect backdrop for Soleil and Brody’s story.
While the setting and characters provide a comforting familiarity, Haggerty introduces just enough twists to keep readers hooked.
Conclusion
Despite following the framework of a traditional romance, Bragg’s Match rises above the formulaic thanks to its humour, endearing characters, and the emotional depth given to Soleil and Brody’s relationship.
It’s another delightful addition to the series, offering both comfort and a touch of excitement for fans of small-town romantic comedies.
