Well Played

I read Well Met and was excited to see that a sequel, Well Played, was out too, so I downloaded asap and devoured it.Now I'm gutted that I have to wait until the fall of 2021 to read Well Matched!This time we are still within the Renaissance Faire setting, but the focus of Well Played is on the other wench, Stacy, or Bernadette.A single woman in her late twenties, Stacey is still living with her parents, kind of. In a small apartment above their garage. Her own foray into independence, and getting out of her small home town was cut short when her mother fell ill, and she was needed.Since then, she's been in her old surroundings, unable to move, stuck in a dreary job as a dental receptionist. The only lights in her life, her cat Benedick, and the annual Renaissance Faire that she has been a part of since it started.Her love life is nothing to write home about, apart from a couple of fumbles and snatched nights with a hunk from one of the travelling acts that come to the fair.In fact, a drunken night, and reminiscing those fumbles causes her to send an ill-fated message, leading to months of texts and emails, building up to a fantastic reunion at the next faire...Or will it be?I loved diving straight back into Willow Creek, all the characters and the excitement of the local Faire, as well as wedding preparations for two of the residents.Stacey struck me as a great character in the first book, so to read a continuation from her view, was a dream.I won't go too far with descriptions, but her messaging amore is built up to be a dream come true partner, and though there are twists, he is everything a woman could ask for!Fantastic read, and a good build-up for the next one.Fall 2021, hurry up!

I honestly didn't think I could love a book as much as Well Met, but it's sequel is even better. I had such a huge soft spot for D... What a sweetheart! And it was lovely getting to learn more about Stacey.And then we get that teaser for book 3? Cannot wait!

Loved this book and the plot. Characters were awesome and I loved seeing the ones from book 1 and the set up characters subtly ready for book 3, even though it didn’t take away from Stacey’s love story...

Really good fun read, like the first book. Nice and easy to follow along with, good summer romance book x

I definitely liked Stacey and Daniel's story but it did not grip me as much as the first book in the series did.
