Almost sounds… hypocritical? My final eye roll for this book was the fact that DeLuca dedicated the book to herself for being so amazing. It also really annoys me how frequently her female characters complain about men objectifying women, while also constantly going on about how hot men in kilts are. However, I do always find DeLuca’s books to be quite sexist against men, and this one was true to form, with Lulu constantly going off on mental rants about how all men are inherently jerks. I really liked these characters together. If you’ve enjoyed the earlier books in the series, you’ll probably like this one as well, as it has a lot of the same ingredients. I’ve enjoyed the other books in the series (although not as much as the first book if I’m honest) and appreciate the creative ways DeLuca finds to keep us on the RenFaire circuit. This series started with Well Met, in which the main character gets sucked into helping with the local Renaissance Festival.
