Thus when Dex responds positively to an impulsive, drunken get-to-know-me-or-I’m-gone email, a correspondence begins, and Stacey is soon over the moon for him.Ī year passes along as the Dealing Kilts travel and Stacey grapples with adulthood without major progress, although she gains a sense of hope thanks to her correspondence with Dex. But Dex has also slept with almost every single woman who works at the fair, and seems not to be interested in commitment. Stacey has feelings for her yearly faire hookup – handsome, muscular musician Dex MacLean, member of the Dueling Kilts. She’s also looking to resurrect her moribund love life. It’s time for her to get on with her life, and in light of that she vows to herself that she’ll have her life together by the time next year’s ren faire rolls around the following spring. The engagement of her friends and fellow actors at the Faire – Simon and Emily (hero and heroine of Well Met) – jolts her back to reality, the one in which she’s twenty-seven and not getting any younger. The world seems to move around her, sweeping away her best friends into happy, fruitful lives, but Stacey is still in her parent’s home at Willow Creek, anxiously watching over her sick mother, prevented from staying out of town and pursuing her dreams of being a fashion designer. Renaissance fair actress by summer weekends and dental office secretary by weekdays and offseason, Stacey Lindholm is stuck in a holding pattern. While the story itself is charming, and the heroine is wonderful, there are several rather frankly icky plot points that keep this one from a higher grade. Well Played – the second in Jen De Luca’s series of renaissance faire-centered romances – is a bit of a step down from the excellent Well Met.
