This was a really fun, easy read and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I identified so much with Daisy and I loved seeing her growth as well as Teddy's and the added LARPing was really fun to read too!

A thoroughly enjoyable readset against a Lincolnshire/London backdrop. Daisy who hails from the Lincolnshire area spends her summer working at the Tower of Lomdon Knight school where she meets the dashing Theodore Fairfax who unbeknownst to her is a royal...and a pretty important royal too. He's a lovable rogue and sometimes makes Daisy's life at Knightachool a little tricky. The story interweaves some difficult topics which are addressed beautifully and I found this a charming read if not a little far fetched. However I enjoyed the escapism and thanks to Net Galley for the advanced copy.

I loved this book just as much as the first one Falling Hard for the Royal Guard. It was great to meet up with characters from the first book along with some brilliant new ones. A great fun read not to be missed.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I was so thrilled to be able to read this book early, Falling Hard For The Royal Guard was such a fantastic novel and one of my favourite romances that I read last year.

I really enjoyed this book, it was super cute and fun without lacking depth. I have to say that LARPing isn't really my cup of tea so whilst I enjoyed the passion and community spirit exhibited in those scenes I wasn't super engaged.

I loved the concept of Daisy taking a job at the Tower of London and forging a new life without restriction. She was the embodiment of 'feel the fear and do it anyway' which was really refreshing. It was a bit of a shame to not see too much of the tower in the novel, I'm such a history nerd that those bits are my favourite in both novels!

I loved Bobble, she was my favourite character in the whole story, her honesty was so refreshing and she was such a caring and considerate character. Sam and Marigold were brilliant as well and I would have loved to have seen more of them!

It was super slow burn which I did find a little frustrating, I really enjoyed the romance once we got there but the lead up was just that bit too slow for my taste.

I will definitely read more from this author in the future!

Thank you so much to Avon Books and Netgalley for my e-ARC xx

<strong>🧝🏻‍♀️ One for all the geeks out there 🧝🏻‍♀️</strong>

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this second book. A lot of the draw of the first came from Megan’s relationship with her home and I wasn’t sure if this would live up to its predecessor. I actually quite enjoyed it. Daisy isn’t your typical FMC and I really liked that about her. For the most part I think she was well written and some of the descriptions of her anxiety attacks were very well done.

I struggled initially to warm to Teddy. I think part of that comes down to his story just being a bit<strong> too </strong>unlikely. If I’m honest I think that was my main reflection on the whole story. Whilst the first book presented an unlikely scenario this one was just a bit too far fetched for me. Lovers of the hallmark daydream scenario will really enjoy it and the writing itself was funny and engaging. I read it in less than 24 hours and was engaged throughout.

I’ll definitely check out future books from Megan and her insight into life in the tower is fantastic. I could listen to her and read her books all day.

In this book, there is Enemies to Lovers, with a royal twist! The story follows a young woman who is finding herself among anxiety of the world around her and creating her own path. This story was cute and easy to read. Definitely a read for those who like romance and Lord of the Rings.

Sidenote: As a nerd myself, I loved all of the references to Lord of the Rings throughout the book!

I’ve just finished reading Love at First Knight - to begin with and during some parts of this book, I struggled to connect to the main storyline of LARPing - I’d never heard of it before and as I’m not too much into fantasy; it’s not what I thought this book would be intensely based on. It is however, lighthearted and not too serious, although it does include a lot around the MCs anxiety.

Yes there’s a love story throughout the book, but the main focus is really in Daisy finding her place in the world. Throughout the story I was constantly routing for her.

Bobble is a great character, the type of friend we’d all love to have. She’s complex in her own right but is still a cup half full type of person, and I really enjoyed getting to know her.

Teddy - you can see throughout the story that he’s trying to get away from the role he’s been forced into and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

Overall as much as I enjoyed some of the characters, the plot wasn’t the right one for me, however with fantasy being on the rise at the minute, I think this will appeal to lots of people.

I’m looking forward to what Megan writes next

Thank you to NetGalley for this e-ARC

This was a really fun contemporary romance! As someone who loves going to the Ren Faire every fall I really enjoyed this scenario. It was also fun to have more nerdy characters who I feel like I can relate to more.
This is a great rec for those who like a good rom-com but don't want all of the explicit scenes. There's a time and place for those but I know I have a lot of friends who enjoy their books without them.

I really enjoyed watching Daisy come into her own as she grows into her confidence through this new job and the people she meets. This had some good slow burn and some soft enemies to lovers the combo is always my favorite.
Also if you have ever been curious about LARPing or the inner works of faire like/cosplaying this is a great intro to it!

A good follow up to Megan’s first book and nice to see that the main characters from that appeared in this one too. Good characters in this one and I mostly enjoyed the storyline although it was a bit OTT for my liking about the role play stuff.

This book hooked me in from the first chapter. I loved the character development and how the story progressed.

Introvert Daisy is persuaded by her family to go to the knight school in the Tower of London .As an accomplished swords person, there should be no problem - until Viscount Fairfax turns up. A really enjoyable story with a totally different theme, great reading.

Cute and fluffy. Quite light compared to my usual reads but I enjoyed it overall. I think it could benefit from some more detail and the writing is definitely geared towards YA but I’d recommend for a light summer read.

I was obsessed with this book! I’m not usually such a fan of contemporary romances, but this one really hits the mark.

To me, this is totally a modern love story similar to the fantasy that is the Fourth Wing universe. There’s enemies to lovers (as much as an enemy as you get these days), there’s sassy banter, and there’s a slow burn. There is not any explicit spice here, but you’re not missing anything. The slow burn really burns lol. This had me giggling and kicking my feet.

This is definitely for those that spend their time daydreaming about fantasy, medieval times, and their chance to find true love. This felt like the Ella Enchanted movie, with wholesome moments, well rounded characters, and good humour. I love the way Megan Clawson’s writing flows, and I can’t wait to read more of their work!

Thank you to the author, and NetGalley, for the arc. I’m honoured to get to read such incredible books before their official release!

I’m DNFing at 5%, I don’t think I can hack it🥲

The writing is cringy and I can’t focus, I really don’t think I’ve taken in any of the details so far! All I remember is the FMC’s brother being obsessed with this “perfect” female.

I may come back to this book at some point in the future, but not now! I’m really sorry😭

Love at First Knight by Megan Clawson is the second novel we’ve read by this Author, and once again we fell in book love. Daisy and Teddy’s story is a sweet, fun, and easy to read enemies-to-lovers romance that deals with poignant issues as well, all done in a super quirky and nerdy way. We loved the pomp and fanfare and having never jousted for fun (not that we have done serious jousting either HA!), we were intrigued by the whole LARPing theme. Where do we join? When the world feels overwhelming, and the anxiety is rife what better way to still your soul and quieten your mind than escaping? After all, this is what we do when we read isn’t it?

For us, this story was all about the sweet, anxious, and introverted Daisy and her brave journey in finding both herself and her worth, her happy and her safe. Finding friendships and love. It was heartwarming fun with bursts of emotions, and we could relate to so many aspects in this lovely romcom. A special mention to Bobble who absolutely stole our hearts, what a character! We would love a Bobble in our life! Another entertaining winner from Megan Clawson.

Unfortunately, this book wasn't for me! I couldn't relate to the MC at all which made me annoyed at times. Also the writing style didn't appeal to me as it felt a lot more YA for the age of the characters. I'm sure others would love this as I've been seeing a lot of praise reviews. Just wish I was more engaged with the story.

Another amazing book by Clawson! I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy this book as I'm not into LARPing or part of that community but I really enjoyed this book. Clawson is definitely on a back to back success between this and her debut book.

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. Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

4 stars⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books for the e-arc for an honest review. I thought this was a really cute royal romance! This was so quirky and adorable. This reminded me of Pride and prejudice.

This was cute and heartfelt. The characters were adorable and their relationship endearing. This book is a perfect summer read and I can't wait to come back to it.
