Morgan has been feeling lonely. Since her best friend moved away and isn't answering her calls and texts, she is on her own a lot. She wants to be more adventurous but doesn't really know how to do that.
She started going on weekly D&D games with a group of people who are quickly becoming her friends. They even agree to go to the Renaissance Fair in the States together.
Jack's life is very carefully planned out. There is no room for romance or change. After his bad breakup, he gave up on that and kind of dedicated his life to just staying as it is.
As he takes Morgan out on their little adventures, they get closer and closer, but he is nowhere near that and the change she is about to bring into his life. He makes her more adventurous and she forces him to face his emotions-a perfect match...
They make each other better, but they both come with baggage that threatens to keep them apart.
Is such a sweet story, of letting go, of taking a chance and letting yourself go. A slow-burn romance, but totally worth it!
Highly recommend it!
I was invited by the publisher to read this book. I really loved that the Renaissance Faire was a backdrop to this book - readers who love that world as well as smaller towns should read this book just for that element alone. I also liked the characters becoming familiar to each other through role playing - I thought it was an interesting take by the author to bring two people together who maybe didn't have the confidence as "themselves". My personal tastes like a little more oomph with the romances - this was a bit slower for my personal liking, but I felt like there was adequate chemistry between the two characters and I really, really enjoyed their personal adventures coming out of their comfort zones, putting themselves as individuals first, and growing as a person.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollinsUS/One More Chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Slooooow burn. 3rd act break up. Kinda closed door romance. Ren faire annnnd D&D. I wanted to like the characters more but I felt like both needed to get their act together! At least Pablo got his HEA
Thank you NetGalley for the arc
This book was so entertaining that I read it in a single day. Short but sweet and I loved the role-playing game part because it reminds me of my friends in high school who used to dress up to go to the local renaissance fair back in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA.
Absolutely delightful! This book had me laughing out loud and swooning in equal measure. The characters are loveable, the humour is spot-on, and the romance is heartwarming. A perfect feel-good read!
