You can say faire also developed as series progressed. In all books Willow Creek Renaissance Faire was at the centre and each time we know more about faire and acts they involved, how they made changes as the series progressed, first with duration then dresses and in last book Simon and Mitch were changing their Chess Fight sequence as well. Things I liked in this series Renaissance FaireĮlizabethan setting of the fair was best introduced in first book with how Simon enrolled students and volunteers, how they rehearsed the act, how they organise it and how whole community come together for faire. Overall, Well Matched was interesting, fast paced, realistic, and lovely romance with relatable characters and life situations. Also it wasn’t as good as Well Met in all aspects but I’m glad it was better than Well Played. Her reasons for denial and refusing to accept her feelings for Mitch was getting repetitive and frustrating. What I loved most was April standing up for Mitch against his family, their pretend relationship in public and specifically when her ex-husband showed up, April realizing what’s it like to be part of faire, leaving her mundane life and have some fun and that she belonged in Willow Creek community. I loved the forced proximity and flirting through home renovation project arc. The story was about friendship, family, belongingness, commitment issue, transition to empty nest phase of life, and preconceptions.
Well Matched was interesting and heart-warming finale of Well Met trilogy that revolved around April and Mitch’s story. Overall, it was feel good, gripping, and dramatic romantic comedy with lovey small town and fun fair. I’m not usually fan of sex scene but trust me here it was amazing. Romance between them was steamy, hot, and sizzling. But once they started knowing each other, the chemistry between them was lovable and award-winning.
They disliked each other, Emily couldn’t stand Simon and there was time she even tried to do all to avoid Simon’s dagger throwing stare and Simon was out to find teeny tiniest fault in Emily and whatever she did. I enjoyed bickering and small fight between them in first half.
Shakespeare lovers would love to read this as there was idea of Shakespeare theme, his plays and sonnet. It was fun reading the story of Emily and Simon. The message was deep and thought provoking. It was about family love, belongingness, getting over grief, letting others help and share responsibility, and need of change without affecting the essence of originality. Well Met was cute, refreshing romance with hate to love arc that revolved around caring organized Emily, uptight rule-follower Simon, and Willow Creek renaissance fair with its historical theme.
