"Well Traveled" by Jen DeLuca Rachael Elliott-Brug, Reading Leaves If you are looking for a feel-good romantic read with some "New Year, New You" vibes, "Well Traveled" is the book for you!
Louisa "LuLu" is a hard-working, under-appreciated attorney in a large successful law firm. She pours everything she has into her job for the coveted partner position and is continually passed over.
While out gathering information for a big case, she takes a break to check out a Renaissance Faire passing through the area. Phone call after phone call from the office pile on to her already over-the-top stress load and she hits her breaking point; quitting in spectacular fashion and having a panic-fueled breakdown in the middle of the faire.
New friends help her calm down and a call from her favorite cousin sets her on a path she had never imagined for herself. Cut off from everything, she travels with her new Renaissance friends and their band from faire to faire.
In this simpler existence, LuLu discovers how to use her corporate talents in new ways. She also comes around to appreciate her granny's view of men in kilts, which had previously baffled her.
Dax is a notorious playboy who plays in the band. Lulu knows he's not relationship material, but still can't resist the pull between them. When the end of her time traveling with the band draws near, Lulu must decide what her true calling in life really is, and how to achieve her dreams without breaking her own heart.
"Well Traveled" is the perfect romantic read with a renaissance flair. It is both an Indie Next pick for December and a LibraryReads pick. Jen Deluca has also written "Well Matched", "Well Met", and "Well Played" a series inspired by her time volunteering as a pub wench with her local Renaissance Faire.
