You know it’s going down and it’s super steamy, but you’re not quite getting a full play-by-play. I gave this one three eggplants out of five on my steam scale-it is open door but also not super graphic. We also got to see a little more from the Ren Faire towards the end of the book, which was just what I needed. And I loved that they really cared about each other on a friendship level, and stood up for the other when needed. The tension and build-up between the two was perfect.

Never mind they’re just friends, or there is a nine-year age gap between them, the more time they spend together the more they start to catch real feelings for each other. But then her casual acquaintance, Mitch Malone, ropes her into being his fake girlfriend for a family event. She was just waiting until her daughter went off to college. I mean who doesn’t love a smokin’ hot ray of sunshine in a kilt?! This story had friends-to-lovers, fake dating, forced proximity.and so much delicious, swoony tension between the two main characters.Īpril Parker has been planning to get out of much-too-small Willow Creek for the last twelve years. But by the first chapter of this book I was completely hooked and tore through it with abandon, not able to get enough. I was nervous about reading this book because while I absolutely adored the first one in the Well Met series, I was luke-warm on the second (I just didn’t vibe with the characters). A huge thank you to Berkley for gifting me a review copy of Well Matched by Jen DeLuca.
