It was cute and cheesy but a tolerable amount of cheese. I could see how all Emily’s second guessing and over complicating things would be annoying but I kind of related. Simon’s extreme grumpiness was over the top and the change from grumpy to lovey was not gradual at all but overall it was a nice story and an easy read

This was adorable. It took me a little to get into it, but once it got going I was sucked in. I loved all the characters - the protagonist, the love interest and the glorious array of supportive, fleshed-out side characters. Just lovely.
It wasn’t overly fluffy, and dealt with heavy themes amidst the romance. As per usual I skimmed theexplicit sexual content as that is really, REALLY not my thing. The dynamic of the romance was wonderful though and I loved how both characters had growth both in the context of the relationship as well as personally. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

One of the recurring topics is the brother of one of the main characters, whom he lost to a terminal illness some years prior. It is not explored in depth, but the resulting grief continually impacts the character. The topic is handled well but may still be difficult to read for those experiencing similar loss.kdailyreads's review against another edition

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the main characters Emily and Simon. They’re both people I would like to be friends with in real life. They’re funny, caring, organized, and like reading and history. The relationship between the two of them was fun and heart-warming to see develop. The supporting characters were also well-developed and entertaining, and I found myself wishing Willow Creek was a real place I could visit. I definitely want to go to a Renaissance Faire sometime in the future now! Maybe I’m even motivated to try to read some Shakespeare again?? Absolutely I am looking forward to reading more of Jen DeLuca’s writing, particularly this series!

As a Ren Faire fan, I really liked this setting. The story was fun and lighthearted. I enjoy a romance novel because they usually have a predictable plot and happy ending and thats what I needed so thats what I liked about this.
