LibraryReads Pick

 
Stacey is jolted when her friends Simon and Emily get engaged. She knew she was putting her life on hold when she stayed in Willow Creek to care for her sick mother, but it's been years now, and even though Stacey loves spending her summers pouring drinks and flirting with patrons at the local Renaissance Faire, she wants more out of life. Stacey vows to have her life figured out by the time her friends get hitched at Faire next summer. Maybe she'll even find The One.
 
When Stacey imagined "The One," it never occurred to her that her summertime Faire fling, Dex MacLean, might fit the bill. While Dex is easy on the eyes onstage with his band The Dueling Kilts, Stacey has never felt an emotional connection with him. So when she receives a tender email from the typically monosyllabic hunk, she's not sure what to make of it.
 
Faire returns to Willow Creek, and Stacey comes face-to-face with the man with whom she’s exchanged hundreds of online messages over the past nine months. To Stacey's shock, it isn't Dex—she's been falling in love with a man she barely knows.

One of my most anticipated reads of the year and it did not disappoint!

I was so excited to get my hands on this one after LOVING Well Met last year. This one follows Stacey, Emily's friend from Well Met, and I really don't know if I've related to a book character as much as I related to Stacey in a long time. Stacey's love story was so sweet and very steamy. Overall just a wonderful read - I flew through this one.

There are some small details and nitpicky things that I didn't love, but it wasn't too major of an issue to ruin the book. Also, I felt like some of the smaller conflicts got resolved a little too easily but oh well.

Overall - SUCH a delightful read 4.75/5

So excited for Wel Matched!!
