Well Met by Jen DeLuca

All's faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author, Jen DeLuca.

Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him?

The faire is Simon's family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn't have time for Emily's lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up. Yet on the faire grounds he becomes a different person, flirting freely with Emily when she's in her revealing wench's costume. But is this attraction real, or just part of the characters they're portraying?

This summer was only ever supposed to be a pit stop on the way to somewhere else for Emily, but soon she can't seem to shake the fantasy of establishing something more with Simon, or a permanent home of her own in Willow Creek.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

So freaking cute. Loved every moment of this adorable book. Fun, romantic, hilarious, and throw in a Renaissance Faire, it's the perfect package. Well Met was just such a fun book to read and one I couldn't put down. I love when you find such a fun book that makes you smile and swoon and laugh and Well Met does all that. When Emily moves in with her sister and niece, after they are an in accident, she ends ups volunteering at the small town's Renaissance Faire fund-raiser so her niece can participate. What she doesn't expect is for the town to grow on her and the spirit of the Faire. And of course a grouchy English teacher who makes an excellent pirate. After her previous relationship had left her hurt and feeling unloved, she is hesitant to make the same mistake twice. Yet, there is something about Simon that makes her want to take a risk. Cause despite his attitude, she learns to see past his mask. Their flirting on the Faire grounds soon proves to be more than act as they navigate their feelings for one another. Such a fun story! And I learned there is a second one on the way, so I will definitely be checking that out and I'm curious to whose story will be told next.
