Book Review: Mismatched by Ava Benton

 

Book Description

Charlotte Perkins loves Shotgun Falls. Always has. Loves the town. Loves the people. So when shop owner Sylvia Redferne asks her to help her test a new dating app, she doesn’t think twice about spearheading the operation.

What Charlotte hadn’t counted on?

Logan Fourier. Logan’s a wolf shifter that’s damned good on computers. He doesn’t mind doing Sylvia Redferne a favor and building a dating app. Who would, considering how much Sylvia’s offering to pay him for his services.

What Logan hadn’t counted on?

Charlotte’s a spitfire with a tough shell. How’s he supposed to crack that shell when she thinks he’s an alphahole instead of an alpha. Things don’t go so well when he decides to create a dummy account and fools her into falling for his alter ego.

Things really go to hell in a handbasket when the secret he’s been harboring resurfaces. Can busybody Sylvia Redferne help this couple find their way back to each other or have Logan’s bullheadedness and Charlotte’s defenses put up more obstacles than a witch stripped of her powers can handle?


My Review

Sylvia wants Logan to help her build a dating app for the supernatural shifters that live in her town. Logan is all for it until Sylvia also wants to help Charlotte with a dating app she wants for humans. But as a witch that's been stripped of her powers she puts up a lot of obstacles in her way from finding a good guy to date. When she and Logan get off on the wrong foot, Logan sets up a fake account on the dating app to get to know Charlotte better. She's mad when she finds out what he's done because she really liked his fake persona. 

Logan was a bit of a jerk for so much of this book and I wasn't sure that I was going to like him but he was trying and in the end he proved to be a really nice guy. Charlotte was kind of closed off and because they didn't kick it off at first she didn't trust him and it took a bit for them to warm up to each other. 

In the end this turned out to be a fun story. 

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

  1. It sounds alright. The books you've been posting about lately, they really need to make them into films I think. I'd totally watch them :-D

  3. Supernatural dating app is making its way into trope territory. I don't know if it's gotten there yet, but I've seen a few stories where that comes up.

  5. With her being closed off, sounds like he wasn't going to win with her either way. LOL
