Well Matched

De: Jen DeLuca

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

A pretend relationship gives two friends more than they bargained for in a Renaissance Faire rom com filled with flower crowns, kilts, corsets, and sword fights.

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...and it 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.

two thumbs up

I have truly loved this series, and it was awesome to see a story from April’s perspective. I’ve always enjoyed her snark. And Mitch?! Yowza. His character has always been a comedic outlet, but it was such a delight to have his personality show true dimension. While the Ren Faire is still part of this story (because it’s big annual event in the characters’ lives), most of this story takes place outside of just those Faire weekends. This story is a lighthearted comedy, and I didn’t want it to end.

Naturally, Brittany Pressley did a stellar job (doesn’t she always?), and I’m happy she’s continues to be the voice for this series.

The April Story You Didn’t Know You Needed!

Jen DeLuca does not disappoint, I’m so glad she has kept this story up and cannot wait for the next Ren Fair! Huzzah!

Favorite of the series

Well Matched is my favorite installment of the Well Met series & the narrator is fantastic!

They keep getting better and better!

It was great to return back to Willow Creek, and this time with more outside of Ren Faire. Jen has created a sweet little world full of characters that are so easy to fall in love with and root for. Brittney Presley is the best narrator and I’m so glad she’s been the voice of this audiobook series. I definitely recommend this book if you love romantic comedy and just love to fall in love.

fun

this is a fun sequel to her series. nice to visit the characters again.
