I thoroughly enjoyed Well Met. It's a well-written romantic comedy, featuring Emily and Simon. Emily had just moved to the small town of Willow Creek to help take care of her sister and niece after a car accident. Simon is the jerk who, instead of helping Emily with the sign up sheet, tells her she did it wrong and he can't accept it until she's done it right. Nice guy, huh?
Willow Creek, in addition to being a small town, hosts a Renaissance Faire, and Emily gets dragged into doing it, along with helping her sister and eventually helping out at the local bookstore. Simon slowly grows on her, especially once he's in costume and character as a pirate, one who's head over heels for Emily's tavern wench character.
Can Simon overcome the expectations he put on his own shoulders? Expectations that come with responsibilities that he can't do alone, but doesn't know how to ask for help? Can Emily learn how to live in Willow Creek? Learn to live in a small town where almost everyone gives up their summer to put on a Renaissance Faire?

Very cute, very rom-com. I enjoyed the characters and I think the author used the classic ‘Misunderstanding trope’ well. In other books that have that set up more times than I end up wanting to yell at the characters but here the misunderstandings led to important development scenes and it worked. Overall the book made for a fun read before valentine’s day.
