"I had it handled. I don't need your help." "You don't have to." Mitch shrugged. "Needing and wanting are two different things, you know. You can want something and not need it."

God, she was right. I'd given her the same advice three years ago. And here she was, throwing it back in my face. Some sister she was. The best.
Well Matched by Jen DuLuca
I recently listened to the audio of Well Traveled by Jen DeLuca, and while it wasn't my favorite of the series (that will always go to Well Met), it was fun. I didn't buy into Lulu and Dex as a couple because it seemed too insta-attraction on his end. As an ace person who definitely isn't attracted to people based on looks, I find insta-attraction/insta-love in books almost a turn-off. But I liked Lulu as a character. She was kind of lost in where she wanted to go with life and found herself spontaneously quitting her job and traveling with a band that does the ren faire circuit. It's was interesting to see the faires from kind of an outside perspective compared to the other three books in the series.
I paired the book with three tarot cards that have meaning to the story: Death, 8 of Cups, and the King of Wands (seen here as the Monarch of Wands). I absolutely love my tarot deck from @/binxolsen (insta)! I'm not well versed in what the cards mean, but I love the art and that the deck is gender inclusive, whereas general tarot decks can be more gendered.
Do you do tarot or affirmations?
They were well matched: he, so good and noble; she, so lovely and endearing.

for as much as i read (and write about) the romance genre now, i think some people might be surprised that i really started reading actual genre romance a few years ago.
i clearly remember browsing a bookstore one day. i had just finished an mfa program where I found myself constantly having to defend my pop culture and artistic choices against snobbery from my “edgier” peers, and that had an impact on even what i chose for myself. and then i saw this adorable, pastel, cartoony book, picked it up, and it had everything i love. a romance inspired by ren faires (and sexy captain hook from ouat), packed with lit nerd jokes and amazing banter? sign me up! and that, really, was my gateway into falling in love with genre romance, not just books with romantic subplots.
so as i start making these embroidered pieces based on book covers, it only seemed right to make on based on that book: WELL MET by Jen DeLuca, with cover art by Colleen Reinhart . cheers to them, to this series, and to the world of romance books everywhere 💕

book review || Well Matched by Jen DeLuca
video review || Final Book Support Group 48 hr Readathon -- Reading Vlog Issue 208
Okay, I think this might actually be my favorite of the series so far. I really appreciate that we saw an older, divorcee heroine as the main character. April felt very rounded out and realistic based on her life experience. The struggles we see her dealing with really made her as the heroine, and this romance, stand out.

Did you like Well Matched? I have it but haven't read it yet. :)
I did, and I think it was my favorite of the series!
My only complaint (for all three) is that it wasn't a dual POV. I feel it's a crime to be deprived of Mitch's perspective.
