Well Met
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.

One of my favourite books! Obviously just a fun re read. But I genuinely love Emily so much, and I love her and Simon together and their relationship and how they grow together!

Super cute! I read this because Gracie said it was her fav and she hounded everyone in our book club to read it BUT I’m glad I did because it was the perfect little romcom. Loved the Ren fair vibes. The characters had depth and were flawed, I would for sure read more in this series. 🌶️ 2/5 Who doesnt enjoy a little hate to love? Very nice, simple but fun spice, not a ton but these MCs were really into each other and you could tell. 📚 Reading Between the Vines: 📚 Click Here to Join a Fun Discord Book Club

I didn't hate this book. It was fine. It was well on its way to earning 3 stars until the third act breakup, which was caused by potentially one of the dumbest miscommunications I've ever read. Will I continue with this series? I don't know. Some of the side characters were set up well enough to pique my curiosity, so I wouldn't be against it.

I gave this book a solid 3 stars. It would have been a solid 4 if not for some of the language. There are not a lot of swear/cuss words but the few that are in the book were a little much for me.
