Can’t Wait Wednesday – WELL TRAVELED by Jen DeLuca
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is WELL TRAVELED by Jen DeLuca. This is the fourth book in DeLuca’s Well Met series and I’ve enjoyed every book so far. The characters are always so easy to root for and I love the Ren Faire setting, so I have high hopes for this latest installment. 🙂
WELL TRAVELED by Jen DeLuca
Publication Date: December 6, 2022 by Berkley Books
From Goodreads:
The Renaissance Faire is on the move, and Lulu and Dex are along for the ride, in the next utterly charming rom-com from Jen DeLuca.
A high-powered attorney from a success-oriented family, Louisa “Lulu” Malone lives to work, and everything seems to be going right, until the day she realizes it’s all wrong. Lulu’s cousin Mitch introduced her to the world of Renaissance Faires, and when she spies one at a time just when she needs an escape, she leaps into the welcoming environment of turkey legs, taverns, and tarot readers. The only drawback? Dex MacLean: a guitarist with a killer smile, the Casanova of the Faire… and her traveling companion for the summer.
Dex has never had to work for much in his life, and why should he? Touring with his brothers as The Dueling Kilts is going great, and he always finds a woman at every Faire. But when Lulu proves indifferent to his many plaid charms and a shake-up threatens the fate of the band, Dex must confront something he never has before: his future.
Forced to spend days and nights together on the road, Lulu’s interest in the kilted bad boy grows as he shows her a side of himself no one else has seen. The stresses of her old lifestyle fade away as she learns to trust her intuition and follow her heart instead of her head. But when her time on the road is over, will Lulu go with her gut, or are she and Dex destined for separate paths?

I’d love to hear what upcoming book releases you’re waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me your link in the comments below and I’ll stop by and check out your CWW selection for this week. 🙂
This sounds like a lovely romance – and what an interesting dilemma… What do you do at the end of an idyllic ‘holiday’ romance?? I hope it is as engaging as it sounds, Suzanne:)).
It has been a fun series so far so I’m really hoping this one is just as good. I especially love the Ren Faire setting as a backdrop for the romance. 🙂
I enjoyed the first book but haven’t kept up with the series – this one sounds really cute, though!
I’ve enjoyed them all so far so I have high hopes for this one. 🙂
Every time I see a book in this series I wonder why the heck I haven’t started it yet! This sounds adorable😁

Sounds like a good one! I hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to read it.

When I read book 3 in this series, I was a little sad, thinking it was the last one, and then Jen DeLuca announced book 4. Yeah!!! I will return for each and every book she writes in this world.

Right? I wasn’t expecting a fourth one either so it was such a nice surprise when it was announced.
A Renaissance Faire sounds like an utterly adorable setting for this romance. Louisa’s dealing with what’s right for her along with the romance makes her such an attractive character.
I’ve really enjoyed having the Ren Faire as a backdrop for each romance in this series. 🙂
Having read and loved the first three in this series, I can’t wait for this one either!

I didn’t know it was happening, but I’m happy for it!
