Ohhh, Jen DeLuca's 'Well Played'? That cozy, Renaissance Faire-themed romance totally charmed me! If you're asking about sequels, the answer is a resounding yes—this book is actually the second in her '
well met' series. The first one, 'Well Met', introduces Emily and Simon’s enemies-to-lovers story at the same quirky faire, while 'Well Played' follows Stacey and Daniel’s fake-dating shenanigans. The third book, 'Well
matched', wraps up the trilogy with April and Mitch’s sweet, age-gap romance. I adore how DeLuca weaves music, humor, and heartfelt moments into these—they’re like warm hugs in book form. If you loved the vibes of 'Well Played', diving into the whole trio is a must.
Funny thing, I initially picked up 'Well Played' without realizing it was part of a series, but it worked fine as a standalone. That said, spotting Emily and Simon’s cameos afterward felt like running into old friends. The author’s planning more faire-centric stories too—rumor has it a spin-off might be brewing! Whether you’re here for the lute songs or the slow-burn kisses, this series nails the balance between whimsy and emotional depth. Now I’m just hoping for a book about the pickle vendor—give that man
a love story!
