Welcome back to the Ren Faire in WELL TRAVELED, Jen DeLuca's fourth (and hopefully not last) installment in the Well Met series. Big law firm attorney, Louisa Malone, spends the day at a Renaissance Festival while out of town on a work trip. She enjoyed attending last summer when visiting her cousin Mitch (hero of WELL MATCHED) at his hometown festival where he played a fighter in the living chess match. As the stress of her thankless job ruins her day, she decides to run away from her life to travel with the Faire and the musical band, The Dueling Kilts. The singer and guitarist, Dex, is a playboy, with a girl in every town. As Louisa unplugs to reset her life, she and Dex become close as they learn to stop trying to live up or down to others' expectations.Β
WELL TRAVELED is a delightful rom-com with characters you want to hang with in a fun setting you'll want to experience. The book can be read as a stand-alone, but for those who read the rest of the series, we get to visit with the characters from previous books. I read this in one sitting. One thing of note: why isn't Dex wearing a kilt on the cover when that is literally all he wears in the book? Overall, highly recommended.Β
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?
