Synopsis:

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?

Well Traveled is the fourth installment in Jen DeLuca’s charming romance series set among Renaissance Faires. This time we get to accompany burned-out-lawyer Lulu as she joins Stacy, Daniel, and the rest of The Dueling Kilts—including handsome Dex—as they journey from faire to faire.

I was happy to be approved for an early copy of Well Traveled, my first from DeLuca, but I knew it meant I wanted to get caught up on the series. I’d only read the first book Well Met late last year, but I adored it, picking up copies for the second and third books when I could. I read Well Played a few months ago and Well Matched right before I picked up Well Traveled, so I’ve been happily immersed in the Ren Faire setting.

It’s always fun to check in on the characters we meet in other books, and most of them make an appearance in Well Traveled. We, of course, get to spend the most time with Stacy, Daniel, and Dex, but we also get to hang out with Mitch and April, as well. And there are plenty of new characters, including a very enigmatic group of fortune tellers who Lulu gets to work alongside.
