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?

A cute and quick read! Weâve met Louisa and Dex in previous books so it was really fun seeing them come together and form a bond and relationship.
Louisa (Lulu) is a hard working, aka overworked, attorney desperately trying to make partner at a big firm. And for the last five years sheâs been overlooked for promotions. She goes to a Renaissance Faire to take a break and ends up having a minor breakdown, quits her job, and throws her phone into a washer tub. She then decides to go off the grid and joins the Dueling Kilts as they play at Faires until they return to Willow Creek. Louisa really comes into her own at the Faire, helping out the witchy women at their tarot reading tables. She starts to listen to her heart, not just her head.
While the romance is clear and obvious, I would say this book is more about Louisaâs journey to a more balanced person. Overall, 4 stars!
