The Unexpected Match by L. Clara, the description did not do it justice and 100x’s more than I expected. Wow this book was soo good but please check your trigger warnings because there were parts that were hard to get through. If you like age-gap, he falls first, millionaire, love triangle, afraid to commit, opposite attract, told in first person with dual POV’s then you will love this book!!

Andy and Hadley have been happily married for 5 years or so Hadley thought. While at dinner celebrating their anniversary Andy asks for an open relationship, caught off guard Hadley reluctantly agrees. She soon learns Naomi is why he wants this. At the urgency of her BFF’s Kat and Ryan she joins a dating sight where she meets Connor,  an expected match who changed her life for the better. 

I could not put this book down and read it in one sitting. All of the emotions and the confusion that Hadley felt knowing that her marriage was over but still not wanting to walk away. Falling in love with Connor but afraid of falling in love with Conner, not sure how to feel about being loved, cherished, wanted, and protected. I loved that Connor loved her as she was and didn’t want her to be anyone else. L. Clara did such an amazing job with this book and not just the MC’s but the supporting characters as well. I went through so many emotions reading this book and I LOVE it and cannot recommend it enough. I received this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions.
