Welcome to Litsy!

Listen, I went into this knowing it was a catfish romance, but like…neither of them had an arc?? Stacy needs some self worth, Dex and Daniel need some therapy, and also maybe they should all work on themselves before they get into relationships. I even forgave the initial catfishing, but everything after? UGH.

I didn‘t love this one quite as much as the first book, but it was really cute. I liked how it centered around a different character, but still kept the same people from the first book and followed more of their storyline, as well. Stacey and Daniel are a really cute relationship to read about and I‘m excited to see what happens in the next book!

Well Played by Jen DeLuca is a 4 ⭐️ read for me! A perfect way to wrap up 2023 and hit 50 books! It‘s been a few years since I‘ve hit 50 books so it feels good to get back into the reading groove this year. Shooting for 50+ for 2024! #LitsyLoveReads

Celebrating our 5 year anniversary with a 10 day trip to our cabin (with our newborn and toddler 😅😂) Hoping to finish this one as I brought 2 others and my kindle as well 😂❤️

I enjoyed the first book in this series, and it had been awhile since I read that - so I was glad to finally read this one! It‘s cute and charming and I liked it. It‘s sort of a Cyrano-mistaken identity story with a Ren Faire setting. #bookspinbingo #bingo2

I love this series and now I want to go to a Ren Faire. Who wants to go with?

Meh. Stacey is nearly the same character as Emily from the first book. And normally I love mistaken identity/Cyrano story. But this one just bored me. I kept waiting for something to happen, and nothing. I think other than a retweaked MC, Daniel wasn‘t fleshed out enough. I couldn‘t root for him because his backstory wasn‘t there.

Also, I just wanted to scream at her, instead of whining, if you want to change, the DO something, anything.

I enjoyed this one as much as the first book! It was a cute romance with all the same renaissance fun. I thought Daniel was so sweet and was rooting for their relationship

My library haul looks like starburst candy!
💛💓🧡❤️

This was a fun second book in the trilogy. I liked Stacey in Well Met so I was happy to follow her this time around. Not a whole lot of smut, but it was cute to see Stacey and her love interest begin connecting via emails and texts. I admit there was a bit of a twist that I didn't pick up on, so that was fun, if a bit disappointing. There was less of the Ren Faire this time around simply because we got a lot of that exposition in book one.

Zipped through Well Met, so I‘ve started Well Played. I‘m not sure if it‘s the characters or if I‘m used to the writing style or what? but this one feels a bit less ‘chonky‘ than the first one. But we all have self doubt when it comes to not knowing what someone else is thinking, especially someone we like

I've been in Ocean City, MD for a few days with my friend. We both brought books and only read about 30 pages each. The ocean and food were too enticing.

Resting after an exhausting week. I think, It's such a pretty, early-autumn day; I'd like to read about a Ren fair! Surprised and delighted to find no hold queue standing in my way. 🙏🍁🍂☀️

Predictable but cute

My BFF @Ahw06 let me barrow her book of the month book. THEN came in to get her hair done and set up my kindle to link with my library. I‘ve been wanting to do it forever but I‘m not very tech savvy. First thing I downloaded was book two of the Well Met series! Thanks Ash!!!

4/5

Really enjoyed this sequel to Well Met, where Stacey gets her shot at romance. There's a section in the middle that felt a little rushed, but overall another sweet ren fair romance.

I‘ll have to tally my hours for this weekends readathon @Andrew65 🙈 I listened to a bunch of audiobooks while working on my nail orders. This Hogwarts Houses set was one of my favourites. 💙❤️💛💚

Currently listening to the tagged book, which is adorable so far. Favourite audiobook of the weekend was definitely Howls Castle. 🧙🏼‍♀️

A wonderful addition to the Well Met series! I love how I‘ve been able to relate to each heroine in a different way. I can‘t wait to read the third book!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I much preferred book one. This book has (POSSIBLE SPOILER BUT NOT REALLY) catfishing the couple doesn‘t really spend as much time together and I just hate the idea of the said 🐱 🎣. I did like Stacy but didn‘t really connect with the romance. #bookspinbingo

I feel like the conflicts get resolved a little too easily in this one, but I love Stacey's narration and her ultimate development, so I'll allow it. Can't wait for April and Mitch's book! #romcom

Open door romance. There wasn't nearly as much scene building since you get that in the first book but it was fun to imagine the same people in and out of Renaissance roles day to day. The great secondary theme of halting life to worry and parent your parents also present.

Continuing this series!

Today's #yellow #CuriousCovers are contemporary romance novels on my TBR. If all goes well, I'll listen to one or both this month for the #littenlisten

I‘d had this one sat in my Amazon wishlist ever since I read “Well Met” and loved it. It appeared in a sale for 1.99 so snapped it up and then devoured it in about three days! Such a fun easy romantic read. :) I think I‘m looking forward to the next one more though...

I loved the first book Well Met. I don‘t love the idea of this story (cat fishing) but I‘ll give it a go. I love the setting of the Ren Faire!
I‘m trying to reacquaint myself with my TBR while on a book buying ban for the month.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Second in the Well Met series. A great follow up, but you should definitely read them in order. Halfway through I thought it had all be solved too quickly, and then BAM, DeLuca hit me with another obstacle. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and can‘t wait for number 3!

Finally went back into a bookstore after a year. Came out with this one that I can‘t wait to read!

Audiobook pick:
2nd in the series 👍👍I wasn't sure if I liked the main character at first, but she definitely grows on you.

A cute romance, but I didn‘t enjoy this second installment as much as I liked the first one. Stacey and Daniel just did not have the spark that Simon and Emily did. This book simply wasn't as charming as Well Met.

So fun! If you like romance and renaissance fairs, pick this one up ❤️

I loved the first book in this series (Well Met), so I immediately had to pick up book 2! These are super fun romances set on a small town renaissance circuit. So cute!

This series. ❤ While I didn't love this book as much as I loved Well Met, my love for the world within these books is strong. My favorite character, April, gets her story in the third one and I cannot wait. 😬

#bookspinbingo

Cute but, like the first book in the series, wildly predictable. I‘m honestly not too critical when it comes to my romance novels, though. As long as the characters can fall in love & still be feminists, I‘m basically sold. The love interest in this one is a tall, vibrant redhead; the MC is a plus-sized blonde who belongs to TWO (count ‘em) book clubs; & there‘s a cat with dragon wings. So, reading it‘s a pleasant enough way to spend a few hours.

After finishing Well Met and having liked it so much, I was glad to find the audiobook for the next in the series immediately available on Libby. While I didn‘t like this one as much as the first, it was still cute and I finished it in two days. The relationship complications were not as realistic in this one, which is my main reason for not liking it as much.

I loved all the complications in this story and the message it ended with. I just want to say that if you find yourself feeling like Stacy in that people only want you around if you are peppy and happy all the time, than you need to tell them how you honestly feel. If they really only want the happy you then they shouldn‘t be in your life. You should be able to work sadness out with your friends.

Finished this last night, so good! Mistaken identity and uncertainty mixes with quirky characters and a Renaissance Faire setting? Sign me up! Can‘t wait for the third and last installment of this series later next year.

Thank you @Bookgoil for my #jolabokaflodswap goodies! I‘m looking forward to reading this book! I really enjoyed the first one, so I can‘t wait to dive in to this one. But really, I‘m just excited for these Reese‘s and I may or may not be having some for breakfast? 😂 Thank you so much! Hope you have a wonderful holiday! 💕🎄

I‘m not a Ren Faire enthusiast, but you don‘t have to be to enjoy this book. Fun, flirty and sweet. #WinterGames2020 #ReadNosedReindeer

This is the second book in this series and I enjoyed it. The book is light and fun. It is a romance series set in a Renaissance Faire. I have really enjoyed both this book and the first in the series, Well Met.

That exciting moment when the hold you've been waiting on comes in.. *does a little happy dance* Honestly, after reading over half of A Little Life, a girl needs some happy romance.

This romance, the second in the series after Well Met, is set at the same small town Maryland Renn Faire, but follows Stacy, Emily‘s friend from the first book. Stacy sends a FB message to a musician she has slept with in the past, saying she might have feelings for her, and to her delight he responds. And then things take a turn for the Cyrano.

I loved this ❤ It was as good as Well Met which isn't always the case with a sequel. A light hearted, feel good read 😊

I gave this 4 ⭐️‘s on GoodReads. Second in a series, this follows a character introduced in the first book and still has appearances of the lead from the first. I love books like that (ex: Virgin River) and it felt more cohesive than the first as well. There was one moment where I thought the lead flip flopped a little too quickly, but otherwise enjoyed the twists and turns. Always fun to be back at the Faire!
Can‘t wait for book 3!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫I thought this book was much better than the first in the series - it seemed like the debut novel jitters were gone.
After a bit of a slow warm up, I found Stacey really relatable. And I am 100% a sucker for an email romance as that is how, 11 years ago, my relationship with my husband really began 😍😂 Love the side characters, the male lead, and, of course, the Ren Faire setting. Looking forward to book 3!

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I mean, it‘s a corny romcom. But it makes ya feel good! 🥰

I really enjoyed Stacey‘s story. Now, I LOVED Well Met so while this was really good it didn‘t quite meet my expectations. I appreciated Stacey‘s predicament, feeling stuck in all aspects of her life while everything changes around her. I got tired of the social media obsession. And why, oh why, did I read the teaser for Well Matched, knowing it‘s a full year away?!

While I enjoyed Well Met, it wasn't really a stand-out read for me, so I went into the sequel with only moderate expectations. However, I ended up liking this one even better. One of my biggest issues with the first book was how much time we had to listen to Emily lusting after Simon (guess what, I don't like hearing women go on about wishing they could bang some dude because his butt looks good in leather pants any more than I like listening to⬇️
