NetGalley Review: Well Traveled by Jen DeLuca

 Well Traveled by Jen DeLuca


Rating:   ✩✩✩✩✩


I hate to say this, but as a huge fan of this series, this one did not hit the mark.  I really liked getting back into the world DeLuca has built around this band and the renaissance fair life.  Lulu’s character arc was a solid romance trope and while her growth was predictable, it was still a feel good story for our fair protagonist.  On those fronts this was a great addition to the Well-Met World.  However, as a romance? No dice.  The chemistry between Lulu and Dex felt nonexistent and didn't really add to the story of Lulu’s life.  Dex lacks a character arc which makes the HEA feel somewhat trite.  I enjoyed reading this book, but it didn’t feel like the outstanding storytelling that has been in the previous books.  Hopefully this proves to just be a one-off for DeLuca because I would like to see more in this series.
