Jaye Berry | 894 comments All's faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author, Jen DeLuca.

Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him?

The faire is Simon's family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn't have time for Emily's lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up. Yet on the faire grounds he becomes a different person, flirting freely with Emily when she's in her revealing wench's costume. But is this attraction real, or just part of the characters they're portraying?

This summer was only ever supposed to be a pit stop on the way to somewhere else for Emily, but soon she can't seem to shake the fantasy of establishing something more with Simon, or a permanent home of her own in Willow Creek.

Please. The author writes a pretty decent contemporary romance.

My copy had an excerpt of the next book, I can show you!


janel (liiterary) | 441 comments Jaye wrote: "I don't actually care about ren faires at all but it as a backdrop was pretty fun"

Yeah I had some mean people in my theater group that looooved ren faires so I always have a hard time thinking of them fondly, but this was actually such a cute backdrop, with just enough of the experience thrown in so that I would find it authentic but not cringe at it.


janel (liiterary) | 441 comments I loved that our friend brought up Ben Wyatt as the LI - perfect casting for a nerdy pirate!


janel (liiterary) | 441 comments I think the one thing that kept me from loving this was how scant the relationship felt for the intensity of the feelings - bordered a bit on insta-love for me.

The epilogue was beyond cute and I loved the idea of their jobs interacting! More epilogues in romcoms!!!!

Omg right? when the RP goes too hard and she couldn't tell but we could!!!

I've got 20 minutes or so of listening left, will get that finished up tomorrow, but so far so good. Will post my updates now


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 3571 comments Oh my, How did I not know about this! Can I join in? I want to reread this!


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yes Trisha!

We only made it today haha

That's great! I'll join, but should I start after the 11th, since I last read it on June 11th of 2020? (I'm counting for 8 months)


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
@Trisha: Yeah after the 11th to make it 8 months (I think it's 8 months, it's not too clear)


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 3571 comments Maddie wrote: "@Trisha: Yeah after the 11th to make it 8 months (I think it's 8 months, it's not too clear)"

Okay, I'm a bit confused now, but if I read it on June 11th (read it in one day), then,
July 11- 1 month
August 11- 2 months
Sep 11- 3 months
Oct 11- 4 months
Nov 11- 5 months
Dec 11- 6 months
Jan 11- 7 months
Feb 11- 8 months completed

Is that right? That's the way we should count?

Oh, any specific reasons?


Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Just didn't blow me away. Not such a fan of the relationship

I haven't finished yet, so I won't read that in case it's a spoiler.

Ah, good idea, I have no idea where that was from....it was the start of the angsty bits if I remember right, but best to leave it untouched

Yeah you had it right, and I know! I know that men are also insecure, but they go about it so much worse than females!
