This was adorable. It took me a little to get into it, but once it got going I was sucked in. I loved all the characters - the protagonist, the love interest and the glorious array of supportive, fleshed-out side characters. Just lovely.

It wasn’t overly fluffy, and dealt with heavy themes amidst the romance. As per usual I skimmed the
explicit sexual content
as that is really, REALLY not my thing. The dynamic of the romance was wonderful though and I loved how both characters had growth both in the context of the relationship as well as personally. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the main characters Emily and Simon. They’re both people I would like to be friends with in real life. They’re funny, caring, organized, and like reading and history. The relationship between the two of them was fun and heart-warming to see develop. The supporting characters were also well-developed and entertaining, and I found myself wishing Willow Creek was a real place I could visit. I definitely want to go to a Renaissance Faire sometime in the future now! Maybe I’m even motivated to try to read some Shakespeare again?? Absolutely I am looking forward to reading more of Jen DeLuca’s writing, particularly this series!

I want to go to a renaissance faire so badly after reading this! 

I like Emily and Simon's relationship but honestly I also loved Emily falling in love with a little town, putting herself first, connecting with her sister and niece and going on a journey of self discovery just as much. 

Can someone just buy me a bookstore in a small town and let me dress like a tavern wench in the woods on weekends, please? That's all I really want at this point.

This was adorable. I love a Ren Faire moment, and the character development for Simon Emily was on point. The only issue I had was that I couldn't help picturing an old work friend as Simon and then the sex scenes got REAL WEIRD and I would not recommend.

“I don’t think you’ve ever been wooed. Have you? . . . Courted. Swept off your feet. Had someone show you how you make him feel.”
“I…can’t say that I have.” That was an understatement.
“Then brace yourself.” He straightened up and backed away from me a step or two. “I’m going to woo your ass off.”
