Well Met Series Book 4: Well Traveled by Jen DeLuca

Well Traveled (Well Met, #4)
Well Met Book 4

The Renaissance Faire is on the move, and Lulu and Dex are along for the ride, in the next utterly charming rom-com from Jen DeLuca.

A high-powered attorney from a success-oriented family, Louisa "Lulu" Malone lives to work, and everything seems to be going right, until the day she realizes it’s all wrong. Lulu’s cousin Mitch introduced her to the world of Renaissance Faires, and when she spies one at a time just when she needs an escape, she leaps into the welcoming environment of turkey legs, taverns, and tarot readers. The only drawback? Dex MacLean: a guitarist with a killer smile, the Casanova of the Faire… and her traveling companion for the summer.

Dex has never had to work for much in his life, and why should he? Touring with his brothers as The Dueling Kilts is going great, and he always finds a woman at every Faire. But when Lulu proves indifferent to his many plaid charms and a shake-up threatens the fate of the band, Dex must confront something he never has before: his future.

Forced to spend days and nights together on the road, Lulu’s interest in the kilted bad boy grows as he shows her a side of himself no one else has seen. The stresses of her old lifestyle fade away as she learns to trust her intuition and follow her heart instead of her head. But when her time on the road is over, will Lulu go with her gut, or are she and Dex destined for separate paths?

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

I loved Lulu and Dex's story! These two were so great together and such a fun story. Lulu is an attorney and on a work trip, she decides to get some air and go to the Renaissance Faire that is in the area. She even gets to see the Dueling Kilts! The band that Stacey's boyfriend Daniel manages and contains his family members, including Dex. But as her phone keeps blowing up and her bosses are getting more and more demanding. Lulu finally snaps. Not only realizing that she will never get to the position she wants with them at the firm, but the fact that her life has been revolved around work she is happy with for far too long. So her snap leads to throwing her phone in the laundry wenches' tubs and hitching a ride with Dex and the rest of the gang for the next several weeks after her cousin, Mitch, convinces her to do so. Off the grid, Lulu gets a chance to breathe and figure out who she wants to be and have some fun for once. And she is surprised at just how much fun it is being on the road. Plus, how wonderful it is to get to know Dex. Dex, who is known for having a hook up at every faire, Lulu won't be drawn in by his charm and looks. But as the two spend more time together, Lulu begins to see a side of Dex no one else ever has. And the mask he wears and is expected to wear when he on the road. The two form a connection that just about changes everything. I loved them! It was so nice to see more of Dex and get a better sense of who he is in this book rather than what he was known for in past books. And of course it is fun to see some familiar faces. One thing I really loved was Lulu getting into the tarot cards and helping out and making friends with the fortune tellers group. We haven't seen many of those in previous books, so it was a nice new side of the faire to see. This series is just so much fun and you will want to visit a Ren Faire!
