Well Met Series Book 3: Well Matched by Jen DeLuca

Well Met Series Book 3

Single mother April Parker has lived in Willow Creek for twelve years with a wall around her heart. On the verge of being an empty nester, she's decided to move on from her quaint little town, and asks her friend Mitch for his help with some home improvement projects to get her house ready to sell.

Mitch Malone is known for being the life of every party, but mostly for the attire he wears to the local Renaissance Faire -- a kilt (and not much else) that shows off his muscled form to perfection. While he agrees to help April, he needs a favor too: she'll pretend to be his girlfriend at an upcoming family dinner, so that he can avoid the lectures about settling down and having a more "serious" career than high school coach and gym teacher. April reluctantly agrees, but when dinner turns into a weekend trip, it becomes hard to tell what's real and what's been just for show. But when the weekend ends, so must their fake relationship.

As summer begins, Faire returns to Willow Creek, and April volunteers for the first time. When Mitch's family shows up unexpectedly, April pretends to be Mitch's girlfriend again... something that doesn't feel so fake anymore. Despite their obvious connection, April insists they've just been putting on an act. But when there's the chance for something real, she has to decide whether to change her plans -- and open her heart -- for the kilt-wearing hunk who might just be the love of her life.

An accidentally in-love rom-com filled with Renaissance Faire flower crowns, kilts, corsets, and sword fights.

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Mitch and April's book! Finally! This is such a fun series and I love that we keep getting more and more from it. April and Mitch's story was just another great one in this series. Fun, hilarious, romantic, and the joy that comes from the Ren Faires. So it's been a few years since book one. April is getting ready to watch her now eighteen-year-old daughter, Caitlin, graduate high school and go to college. April has waited a long time for this moment, not being she doesn't love her kid, but because it means those long ago plans she made can finally happen. She never planned to stay in Willow Creek forever. It was just the perfect place to raise her daughter. But now she can move to the city and find a smaller place. It's what she always wanted, right? As she gets her house ready to sell, she finds herself in need of some help. Good thing someone owes her a favor or two. Mitch is in need of a little help. The survive a weekend with all of his family, he asks April to be his fake girlfriend. Surely then his parents and family will get off his back about being single. As April and Mitch fall into their roles, April can't help but realize that there is something so comfortable and natural about being with Mitch. And the lines of real and pretend start to blur. Even when they survive the weekend, Mitch helps April with her house and everything gets complicated for April. Can she let herself fall for Mitch? Is it real or pretend? Things are changing for April. And she is looking at Willow Creek in a new way. She even volunteers at the Ren Faire for the first time. But April hasn't felt loved by anyone but her daughter in almost two decades. Can she open her heart to Mitch? Loved their story! It was nice to get to know April a lot better. And even Mitch. We see sides of them we haven't seen before and really start to understand more about them. Their story was so fun and cute. I couldn't put it down! And we meet the heroine for the next book and I can't wait to see more of her and her story!
