Jen DeLuca has done it AGAIN. I was more than happy to return to Willow Creek and was more than thrilled that my hunch was correct in that we'd be getting a happy ending for April and Mitch, the most deserving characters of all (in my humble opinion.) With just the right amount of sass, steam, spunk, and a dash of Renaissance Faire, Well Matched challenges convention and brought a smile to my face. Stubborn April was indeed well matched when it came to romance with Mitch and the 'fake girlfriend for my family' ploy worked like a charm, especially with the obvious physical connection sizzling between the two of them. I loved their spirited and honest relationship and was rooting for them both from the first page. Don't underestimate these two, or the latest in the series...now when do we get another!?

This book like all in this series made me extremely happy. Though I did want to smack April a couple of times. Come on! But I am always down for a fake dating trope. It makes me happy.

I have waited and I mean WAITED for this book. Mitch? Hilarious, adorable, heartwarming. April? Tough, hilarious, heartwarming. I love the universe the author has created and genuinely cannot wait to read more by her. Well Matched is a perfect continuation of the series. I can't wait to read more by this author!

Ugh my heart is so full from this book. Although slightly weaker than the othes in the series this book was so well written and a perfect addition to the world of Willow Creek.

April has lived in Willow Creek for most of her life raising her daughter Caitlin. She has kept to herself one day knowing she will move out of town when Caitlin goes off to college. But with this potential move she needs to make some changes to her house. Paint needs to be redone, carpets replaced, all so the house is sellable to the current market. She asks her friends Mitch for help with the house in exchange for a little fake datnig scheme he has dreamed up. He wants his family to think he's serious, and a mature put together girl like April will help his family to see him how he wants to be seen. But their fake relationship is long from over, and as the Ren Faire comes to Willow Creek for the summer the two realize their might be more to their relationship. It feels less fake as time goes on but April is still leaving in the fall, and she thinks her and Mitch aren't meant to be .

I loved going back to Willow Creek and April and Mitch's story was very sweet. Well Matched didn't have the same magic as Well Met, but this was a great mix of romance tropes and I was happy to see both of these characters find their happily ever afters.

I absolutely flew through this book! It's exactly the kind of transportive read we all need in these times, and I loved being swept up in April and Mitch's love story. The fake-dating (and only one bed!) trope had me laughing out loud, and it was so clear how the two of them complemented each other. The Ren Fair features less prominently in this book, but the explanation makes plenty of sense and it was lovely to see April grow!

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What a beautiful conclusion to one of my favorite comfort series of recent! I must say, April and Mitch's story was my favorite one yet. The joy of finding love at the Ren Faire was enticing alone, but coupled with the hills and valleys April faces as a single mother with an unlikely romance- it was formulaically perfect. But what really sold this book, hands down/no doubt, was the chef's kiss deployment of the fake relationship and ONE BED tropes. It was a *let's take a moment and raise the book (eReader) in praise* moment.

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this read. So much in fact, that I stayed up until the light of day because I just had to finish Mitch and April's story for one last romp at the Willow Creek Renaissance Faire.

Well Matched is definitely one of my most anticipated books of the year, so I was super excited to have the chance to read a review copy of this book! I have flown through this series this year at the recommendation of a friend, and it took no time for it to become my favorite romance series--as evidenced by the fact that I've read Well Met twice this year. I took a longer time to read this installment than the others because I simply did not want it to end. This book had me grinning like a schoolgirl! Mitch and April have such chemistry, and such a great dynamic. I appreciated that everything in Well Matched felt deserved; the decisions April made (though some were irrational) made sense for her character, and Mitch is, well, Mitch. Who couldn't love these two characters together? I cannot wait for the release of this book so I can shove it in all my friends' faces and demand that they read it!

This was so much fun! I was cautious going into it because I did not like the second book in the series, but this one was just as good as the first! Makes me want to go to a renn fest this summer!

At this point anything that starts with “Well” and ends with “By: Jen DeLuca” is an automatic win for me.

Loved this story. Loved both April and Mitch. And can I just say… I completely lost it (like I’m talking full on cackling) at the line “Nice to meet you, Bob.”

They’re just so adorable and so much fun.

this was a cute third book in this series, focusing on a single mom with a kid about to leave for college, with the classic "pretend to be my gf to impress my fam" trope! I couldn't remember any of the connections to characters from the first two books (you don't really need to have read them, but I guess it helped to have context), and didn't really love/click with these characters much. it was cute and fun, with a few steamy moments, and a totally predictable happy ever after, with a lot less of the Ren Faire than the first two books had. overall, the series is slipping in my mind as it goes on, but still a fun little read!

Love this series and this may be my favorite about April a divorced single mom and Mitch/Kilty who is more than the Ren Faire rogue

Oh, Mitch & April...I've been dying for these two to get together since Well Met. As you can imagine, I had high hopes for this book and they were EXCEEDED.

There's fake dating! And banter! And sexiness!

Loved this book so much, especially for the fact that it had a protagonist over the age of 40. Such a rarity in romance! Jen always hits the mark for me and each time I pick up her book, I know I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it!

Thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

But I was so excited for April and Mitch's story! It was fun to peek at the faire from an outsider's perspective and it was still shocking to remember April had never experienced it with her daughter and sister having had such big roles in it! This one lacked some of the Renaissance Faire love from the first book. It really didn't even play a role until almost 60% in. I didn't particularly care for Stacey and Daniel's story from the second book but it was nice to check in and see where they are at. The fake romance trope is a fun one but thought they got together a bit early and the rest was April trying to sort through her feelings. I would have loved a chapter (even at the end) of Mitch's POV since it didn't feel like they ever talked much or you could see that much into what he was thinking. Enjoyed but still not as fun as the original!

This was hands down my favorite book in this series! I've been waiting for an April/Mitch book since book #1! 10/10 recommend am so excited to recommend this to everyone

Huzzah! It was so fun to see April and Mitch finally get their own story! This author does a wonderful job creating characters that feel real and authentic - even the minor characters feel like people you'd meet in a small town. Though the Ren Faire has a smaller role in this book, it was such great fun to see it from an outsider's perspective through April's eyes. There's plenty of magnetic attraction between the two characters - but also a lot of sweetness, too. The home renovation storyline was a fun change - it gives April and Mitch a lot of time together with all of the painting walls and removing carpet. April's relationship with her daughter who is going off to college is explored in a very relatable way. If you want a happily-ever-after ending with relatable characters, this should appeal to you!

Well Matched by Jen DeLuca made me into a Jen DeLuca fan! This was the first book of hers that I read, and now I can't wait to go back and read the others in this series. I loved the characters she created and found them to be relatable and interesting. The romance was well crafted, and I will recommend this book to many readers!

I liked this one a LOT more than Well Played but it still didn't match or beat Well Met for me. I liked both April and Mitch but I felt like something was missing because they had had such fun snarky chemistry in the previous book and I didn't feel the same way about them here. Overall it was a good time and I ended up invested in their relationship and enjoyed seeing our friends from the previous books! I've never been to a Renaissance fair but man these books make me want to go so badly.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a lovely ending to the Well Met series (or is it, because Lulu could get a book?). Mitch and April were so sweet, and as someone who has taken care of things on her own for a long time, April’s struggles with letting him in really resonated with me. It is a spicier outing for the Ren Faire crew, which I also dug. On the whole, this is a wonderful series, and I could see myself folding into this friend group, which is always an indicator that the characters are well-drawn and wholly human.
