Me? Obsessed with you? Yes.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over this story! I need to read it again and again!

I read about half of this book before giving up. The main character is supposed to be in her early twenties but reads like an early teenager. I understand that she struggles with anxiety but her behavior and relationships didn’t really seem believable to me. I do think some readers will really enjoy the quirkiness of the story, but it just wasn’t for me.

Thank you @avonbooks and @netgalley for the eARC of Love at First Knight by @meganambxr in exchange for an honest review!

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 This Is my first Megan Clawson novel and I was immediately hooked, Daisy might be my long lost soul sister! I too might have been born in the wrong century and instead of LARP (it was not really a thing when I was growing up), I just dove nose first into reading about history. Daisy has led a pretty quiet life and when she gets the opportunity for a summer job (a surprise to her as she did not even apply) at The Tower of London, her whole world expands beyond her imagination. Yes, life can be easier with both feet planted on the ground but there’s not much room to explore stuck in one spot. Love at First Knight is a book for all of the wild dreamers who need a gentle push from their loved ones to soar.

Review is posted on Goodreads and will be on Instagram ahead of the publication date!

I DNF @ about 50% as I couldnt get past that i felt like the chemistry between the main charaters didnt mesh well with me. Other than that the book is well written and the plot is a good basis for a book. The fact that it is sent in London is ok and the feeling of being in London hits the spot. Sadly this book just isnt for me.

I was honestly confused from chapter one. Maybe its because I don't understand LARPing but there was way too much information from the beginning. It was definitely different just not in a good way.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360 for this ARC! All opinions are my own.

This was the cutest, nerdiest book about role-playing (and LARPing) I've ever seen! Our FMC, Daisy, struggles with social anxiety with a dash of agoraphobia, and despite being in her 20s, is still living at home and never ventures out without her family. So when she's forced to step out of her comfort zone and become a teacher at a knight school for children in London, she flounders a bit. Our love interest, Teddy, has all the makings of a swoonworthy male character, being both cold and standoffish at times, while constantly teasing her.

We don't get the true romantic overtures until maybe 75% into the book, but Teddy has a whole romantic monologue prepared, not to worry! I really appreciated their interactions, and the ways in which Teddy feels guilty over getting Daisy into trouble, then making it up to her. The writing in this book was full of humor and life, and really embedded all the LARP terminology throughout the book and set itself apart from other romance novels in that way.

I read this whole book in one sitting!!! Which is the highest praise I can give any romance book. I'm taking off a .5 star for the wrap-up at the very end, which felt incredibly rushed. We get a great grovel and LARP scene and then...somehow everything magically works itself out, Teddy is just allowed to be less royal, and it all feels a little too bow-tied for me, to the point of unrealism? And also the way our two characters make up and get back together in that final scene felt incredibly rushed. This is also a completely PG romance, and would be perfect for YA reader too, who is trying to overcome the anxiety of new situations all at once. I'm excited for a book about Bobby!!

Megan Clawson really never misses. I love the royal references in her books — really does entertain me. I’d read her books forever! This one especially is 10/10.
