When Stacey’s mom got sick, Stacey dropped everything and came home to take care of her parents. Well Played is the second book in the Well Met series and it works fine as a standalone, although reading the first book, Well Met, will give you a better sense of the small town in which the books are set and the personalities of the supporting characters. This is a cosy romance with minimal conflict, which makes for comforting but not what I’d call riveting reading. It was an enjoyable book to read and it gave me the chance to attend a Renaissance Faire via imagination in a year when the real Faires are cancelled. Well Played did not leave a lasting mark upon me. It’s a bad sign when I look at my list of things to read and review for the month, and think to myself, “I need to read that book next,” and then realize that I’ve already read it.
