Love at First Knight: the royal enemies-to-lovers romance you need for 2024!

This story was amazing!! I love that the FMC was actually the knight in shining armor and saved her damsel the MMC (okay they kinda saved each other, but it's still very cool).We start the story following Daisy, who is scared to try anything new and get out of her comfort zone. After being pushed by her family she takes a job to train Knights in the tower of London (it's a summer camp for children). There she meets the real life Viscount Teddy and things develop from there...It was a very sweet and funny story that I got pulled into and loved reading. I loved how she leaned into her own uniqueness. It was truly a wonderful read. The only thing that bothered me was that the heroine didn't take responsibility for her own actions and blamed other people for her mistakes.Overall it was an amazing story with incredible characters that I loved following. And it made me want to try LARPING.

Megan Clawson strikes again with a romance that melts you from the top of your head to tips of your toes.When you have anxiety sometimes your world is ending, that is what some people don't get. Your emotions crash, you can't control anything. Your body defeats you in a way that you think as a person you should have some crumb i control over it. Clawson brilliantly showed that in her characterisation of Daisy. Especially, for those of us who grew up in villages in times that it felt like they are isolated from the outer world. Fantasy for some is reality and when you need that escape it is home for you. For Daisy her LARPing life gives her control, she can write a narrative for those around her, giving some predictability and control. I thank Ms Clawson whole-heartedly for showing this, sometimes stories focus on the narrative of overcoming and getting rid of anxiety. But, it is often in the fabric of our beings, we can't get rid of it but we can learn how to cope with it. We will have flares but we will also have triumph. Daisy, the fmc, shows this brilliantly.Romances don't need to have spicy to have full-blown romances, and Daisy's love in this story is intoxicating. But really, she is the knight in shining armour. But, romance is just one simple element to this book. It was hilarious, enriched with history and brilliant cultural comments- my favourite is the reference to the black knight from Monty Python and the holy grail.Another brilliant book from Clawson. I cannot wait for another book, hopefully it is also tied to the Tower also.I received a complimentary copy of this book from #netgalley , thank you.

It was great to return to the Tower of London with Clawson’s second book, this time with the different perspective of a rural village woman, Daisy, moving to London and encountering the Tower for the first time. The focus is less on the Tower in this book, though we do get sprinklings of history thrown in, which still fascinate me, but we’re seeing more of the Knight school as its own thing. Daisy is such a brave character, battling her anxiety to move across the country on her own and follow a passion, and it was great to see how she reacted to the people and changes about her and to see how overwhelming such things can be, for anyone, but even more so for people fighting against themselves and their body’s reactions.Now, Teddy was sadly not a character I really liked. Did I empathise with him? Absolutely, growing up in the limelight, constantly hounded by paparazzi and your own family’s expectations can’t be anything but awful, but I just couldn’t really root for him. I felt so bad for Daisy that everything she wanted was at risk because of him (she may want to take some of the blame on herself, but I’ll only allow a smidge!). He was often rude, condescending, and just a real pain. However, these two did have some sweet moments opening up to each other and the few chapters at the end were quite heartwarming. That being said, the star of this show was definitely Daisy. I loved to see her growing confidence as the book progressed, the close bond she had with her family, and how unreservedly herself she was. I also have to give a special shoutout to Bobble because her character was the coolest and reminded me a little of a quirky Londoner flatmate I once had.I received a free copy of this book. All views are my own.

4.5 rounded up.Relatable neurodivergent, anxious FMC. Loveable, funny love interest. Lots of family and friend love and acceptance. Brilliant fun with the mix of reality and fantasy and LARPing.

3.75⭐Royal romcoms are not my go to book genre normally. The cover is the reason I actually requested this was because the cover looked so cool and pretty. This book is funny and engaging. Daisy and Teddy, met in Knight School. Daisy steps out of her comfort zone to make friends, help the kids with the summer camp experience. This makes you wish for Daisy's success. It was nice to see Daisy grow and flourish. Teddy does not want to be at Knight school though and ends up making Daisy's job even harder and nearly gets Daisy fired. This was a cute, light enemies-to-lovers, clean romance story and is such a nice break from the angsty stories I normally read.

Loved this book. Thank you for a return trip to the Tower. So fun, so nerdy. Characters we can love and want to read more about them. I hope there’s a third trip to the Tower.

I fell in love with Megan Clawson's writing a year ago when I discovered her debut novel "Falling Hard for the Royal Guard." I was such a wonderfully new and refreshing read from a person who is intimately familiar with the Tower of London. As soon as I heard she planned to write a second book, "Love at First Knight", I jumped on the preorder. I've been counting down the days until its release.The folks over at Avon UK Publishing surprised me however and I was lucky enough to be selected to receive an advance copy.The moment I began reading "Love at First Knight", I was sucked into the world Daisy Hastings and Teddy Fairfax. Daisy is a wonderfully witty and expressive character who is afraid of the world outside of her Lincolnshire bubble. Teddy is a grumpy Viscount who is known for his partying ways. They come from two completely different plants, yet the universe works in mysterious ways. It isn't long before Daisy encounters the grumpy Viscount in London.Without giving away too much of the plot, I am thrilled to say that the magic of the Tower that was cultivated in the first book, continues to shine through. Clawson has done a wonderful job at once again creating a fascinating, fresh, and intriguing story line. I literally could not put this book down and stayed up late into the night (no pun intended) to finish Daisy's story. Daisy and Teddy are both such strong characters that they feel like old friends. I'm dying to know more about Bauble!This royal romcom is easily on its way to becoming one of my favorite books and I can't wait to read it again once I receive my paperback copy in a few months time. This book is one that any fan of enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, and royal romance should have in their collection!Ten out of ten brilliant stars!Thank you so much to Avon UK and NetGalley for letting me enjoy this book early. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This story was cute. Has a decent plot and was not bad over all but....I didn't like certain things.Teddy was rude and selfish and as he later realized his actions had consequences for others, besides himself. I hated how he let Daisy take the fall and basically got her fired and then also turned around and bad mouthed her family. The 2nd one "to protect her" and yet one TV confession and Daisy was ready to forgive, forget, and confess too 🤦‍♀️Was a bummer because the family larp game was cute and fun and even had a sister moment which I loved!Daisy obviously has some kind of anxiety issue and prefers to act like someone else. What I did like was the support she had from her family and how everyone tried to make her realize she was strong as she was! Her acting a character was HER and she could do those things for herself!Also didn't like that they only gave Daisy her job back because Teddy begged them to. They should have seen her value.Overall it was okay. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Didn't like some things but found other things super cute and funny.Think everyone should read it and decide for themselves 🙂
