Heartbroken, she applies to an out-of-town job posting and finds herself somewhere she never expected: the Renaissance Faire.As a face-painter doubling as a serving wench, Ro is thrown headfirst into a vibrant community of artists and performers. She feels like a fish out of water until Will, a quick-witted whip cracker, takes her under his wing. Then there’s Christian, a blue-eyed stunt jouster who makes Ro weak in the knees. Soon, it’s not just her gown that’s tripping her up.
Trading in the internet and electricity for stars and campfires was supposed to make life simpler, but Ro is finding that love is the ultimate complication. Can she let the past make way for her future?

This was a quick read that had some cute moments. It was fun to see the Renaissance Faire and all the activities that go along with working there. It was interesting to see Rowena first start working there and the friendships she makes with Suze and Will. They both were good friends and helped Rowena adapt with fitting in the Renaissance world. There is a bit of a love triangle which was slightly annoying. Especially since Christian, one of the male leads, was an unlikeable character. Even fromI first spotted this book on a bookshelf at Barnes and Noble. The title and the bright colors jumped out at me immediately and I'm not going to lie to you, my first thought was, "Oh my God, that looks so cheesy." I'm no stranger to Renaissance Faires. I've been visiting them regularly since high school. My best friend even married a Knight that she met there and traveled the Ren Faire circuit with him, working jobs as an artist and a seamstress. As for me? I've never worked the circuit, though I
Can't tell you how excited I was to finally get my hands on my online-bestie's debut novel!And boy, did Laura deliver.I'll dispense with the summary and just say what a great read MY FAIRE LADY is! I've always loved Renaissance Festivals, but the characters seemed so authentic to me that I never thought about who these folks might be after the faire closes.I already knew that Laura did a fair (pun intended) amount of research for this book, and it shows in the authenticity of the characters,

This was a book I found misplaced on a shelf at Barnes & Noble. What drew me in is the Renaissance Faire setting, it's not a typical setting and I found it really interesting. The author does a good job making you feel like an insider at a RenFaire, and you can tell she's researched working at one (which was in her acknowledgements). The main character Rowena (or Ro as she is called throughout and sometimes the nickname bothered me phonetically)accepts a job as a face painter to escape
This was a classic case of being drawn in by a cover but being left less than thrilled about the contents within. This cover is so cute and shouts summer fun. And while the story can at times be cute and is definitely a summery read, it falls squarely into the YA vein thanks to its juvenile tone and characters.I will say that the idea of setting the story in a Renaissance Faire was a fun idea, and populating this world are some equally fun characters albeit not the lead character, Rowena (Ro for
It's nearly impossible to write a review of your bff's first published novel. I mean, no one is going to believe you when you say you stayed up all night with the ARC, but it's totally true. Ro and company passed The Test. I hit the half way mark at 10:30 tonight, and I knew there would be no sleeping until it was finished.It was well worth the late bed time. Fun, sexy, and full of characters I just want to hug. I can't wait to be able to pass this one around in my library.
This was a very fun and charming read. I work in a little indie bookstore and picked up this book pretty much at random from the pile of advanced reader's editions that we get from the publishers (So no I am not friends with the author). This was a cut above most of the stuff I pull out of that pile. I loved the Renaissance faire premise, which not only introduced the reader to a very unusual community but lent the novel its overarching spirit of fun. The narrator was relatable with very
