Perfectly Unmatched was a great addition to the Youngblood series by Liz Reinhardt."Benelli Youngblood is dedicated to her family. Unlike her unpredictable, selfish siblings, Benelli plans to do what’s expected of her: get married to a good, stable man who will help her father save his floundering business. And she’s sure her current boyfriend is that man.When she catches said boyfriend sleeping with his secretary, she hops the first plane to her family’s summer house in Hungary armed with a list of eligible men from solid families to go on dates with so she can find the perfect marriage partner. It may sound old-fashioned, but it’s what’s always worked for her family, and it’s how she’ll mend her shattered heart.What she doesn’t plan on is falling for Cormac Halstrom. The witty, sexy professor with no interest in business or marriage couldn’t be further from the right choice for her. But his hot kisses and sweet words make her feel something she hasn’t in years; she finally feels like herself.When things go too far with Cormac and her family shows up unexpectedly, Benelli will have to decide if she’s going to listen to her heart or her head when it comes to finding her perfect match."I LOVED Cormac.  He's definitely not my typical hero.  He isn't a dominant, macho man.  In fact, he's quite the opposite.  He's attractive, but he's not the sexiest man on the planet.  He's a little geeky and even a little awkward at times. Like I said, he's definitely not my typical hero.  But what makes Cormac such an amazing guy is his patience, his optimism, his wit and intellect, and his love for Benelli.  He's just such a GREAT guy.  I will admit, I fell head over heels in love with his geeky, charming personality.Benelli, on the other hand, wasn't as lovable.  I liked her.  I really did.  I just didn't love her.  At the beginning of the novel, Benelli is a spoiled, naive princess.  Throughout the novel, she definitely grows as a person.  The more her character matured the more I liked her, but I still had trouble seeing her as a real person.  Her character just never really came to life for me.I love the Youngblood family.  I was happy to see Evan and Winch again, even if it was only for a short while.  I also loved the update on Remi, Ithaca, and Colt's lives.  The Youngbloods are a dramatic, entertaining family, that's for sure.I gave Perfectly Unmatched (Youngblood #2) by Liz Reinhard 3 STARS (3.5 STARS).  I really enjoyed this novel, not quite as much as Evan and Winch's story, but I still really enjoyed this novel.  I recommend Perfectly Unmatched to fans of New Adult romance.
