This book was gorgeous!

Daisy’s journey from painfully anxious introvert to a the fun, bubbly, confident women she dreams to be is long, but this makes her story the more realistic.

Teddy makes for a cheeky, frustrating live interest and their enemies to lovers storyline is slightly less believable than Daisy’s personal journey, but this doesn’t make the book any less fun to read!

Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (4/5)
Really cute story! I enjoyed the characters and the plot! The pace of the story was a bit slow however but there were definitely different moments in the story I really enjoyed.

Unfortunately a DNF at 37%.

I’m gutted to DNF this as I enjoyed the first one so much, but unfortunately this one includes two love interests (love triangle) and I just know there won’t be justice for Ellis. I just can’t get on board with stories where the woman ends up with the grumpy, rude royal over the lovely, nerdy guy who would support her through her mental health challenges. Also as someone who has major anxiety I found it hard to get on board with someone being able to just ‘get over it’ when they channel their inner LARP character.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this book but it comes off as a YA title. The characters were fun and the plot entertaining, especially the section on the family LARPing.

From the publisher:

Daisy Hastings has always thought she was born in the wrong era. So when she bags a summer job at the Tower of London helping to run their Knight school, it feels like a step in the right direction.
Theodore ‘Teddy’ Fairfax is a loose cannon. A disgraced distant relative of the royal family, he’s tall, dark and now (begrudgingly) helping with the Tower of London’s summer programme – and there’s nowhere he’d like to be less.
When Teddy’s oath to be an obstruction almost gets Daisy fired, she declares war. But as the two cross swords, they start to discover they both need a little rescuing…
And that maybe, just maybe, love can bloom, even on a battlefield…

Again it was entertaining but might do better marketed as a YA title. 3 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley, I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I really really wanted to like this book. It took. me forever to complete because it just wasn't written in the style I prefer. The characters were mid, I didn't feel really connected to them. I think the story itself was good, I enjoyed that, but the blandness of the rest of the book just did not keep me hooked at all. It was a drag to get through. The 23 year old was childish and made immature decisions. Very pouty. It just wasn't for me.

"Love at First Knight" focuses on Daisy Hastings, who has struggled with anxiety and shyness for years. She still lives with her parents, feeling at ease mostly with family, friends, and during her live-action role-playing (LARPing) sessions. When a summer position at the Tower of London's Knight School opens up, Daisy takes the opportunity, stepping out of her comfort zone into an exciting new environment. There, she meets Theodore 'Teddy' Fairfax, a disgraced royal and her polar opposite, whom she is tasked with helping.

I was intrigued by the book's premise, but I found the character development somewhat lacking. It was interesting to learn about the world of LARPing, which seems like a fun activity, and I appreciated the warmth of Daisy's family. However, the romantic relationship between Daisy and Teddy didn't quite work for me; it felt underdeveloped and could have used more depth.

If I could, I'd give it a solid 3.5 stars. I really enjoyed Megan Clawson's writing style and the way she set out the plot, despite the fact that I had never read any of her books before. However, I couldn't connect with the main character in this book, and I didn't sense their romantic connection.I really enjoyed the book's role-playing part and would like to read more about it. Daisy's self-discovery was my favourite part of this, rather than the romance.
Overall, it was a good read, and I would recommend Love at First Knight and plan to read Megan Clawson books.

Thank you, Netgalley and publishers, for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Who knew what LARPing was before reading this book? Talk about learn a little something every day!
Daisy takes a job at the Tower of London to train Knights at a children's summer school. The story follows her experiences & her friendship with Viscount Teddy. An amusing tale & lots of fun too.
Great story & great characters.

This is such a cute read with a unique setting. I really enjoyed all the shenanigans of knight camp, the amusing banter of the main characters and the interesting history of part of England that were shared. Additionally, I enjoyed the LARPing storyline and am happy how the mental health rep in the story was portrayed.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was really looking forward to this one! Role playing is something I've always found fascinating, so a romcom about it sound like the perfect idea. And I won't say it was bad. I did enjoy parts of it. I loved the family, the bits of role playing we got, and the representation of anxiety.

My main issue was with the couple. Daisy and Teddy just didn't have the connection I was hoping for and, to be honest, I would have liked it a lot better if Ellis had been her love interest. Teddy was mostly just annoying, and Daisy ended up being a little frustrating near the end as well.

Not to mention that it was meant to be set at a summer camp and we hardly got to see the kids. And when we did, Daisy and Teddy were so wrapped up in irritating each other that the kids were pretty much forgotten about. Not exactly good counselling...I would have loved if there were more moments with the kids and to have Daisy and Teddy bond over guiding them, instead of just pulling pigtails and complaining about it later. Teddy during the final LARP was adorable though.

I just felt wanting with this book. It had such great potential, but ultimately fell flat for me.

Love at First Knight was such a sweet sweet book! I love books with characters who are trying to find their place in the world and figure out who they are and what they want to do, and this one had the most perfect characters! There was so much to love about this book and I just thought it was so charming! thank you so much to netgalley for the earc and to the publisher

Apologies I read this a while ago, but I’m terrible at coming back here to leave a review.

Loved Daisy/Lady A . I love the idea that you don’t know what someone else is going through regardless of how their life looks like from the outside/ public persona.

Enemies to lovers is always a book I will read.

I am in my contemporary romance era, and this book was perfect. I hadn't previously read Megan Clawson's other book but I will absolutely be reading it after this one. The banter between Teddy and Daisy was so witty and the slow burn was immaculately well-done. I thought it was also so refreshing to have the anxious nerd representation. Overall, a super cute romance.

A perfect romance pick for the nerds, the ones who watch Lord of the Rings religiously, and those that are obsessed with everything U.K.

I loved reading this and I loved seeing my inner fantasy nerd portrayed through these characters! Such a quick, witty, romantic book!

In this fun modern romance, readers follow Daisy, an introverted and socially anxious young woman who loves LARPing as Lady Alenthaea, a brave and strong elf warrior, with her parents, twin brother, and younger sister. As her siblings grow up and leave their hometown, Daisy feels left behind until Knight School at the the Tower of London, far from home, hires her as an instructor. Unfortunately, Teddy Fairfax lives to make her life difficult at Knight School, and the two of them constantly push the buttons of the other. The characters in this novel are whimsical, charming, entertaining, and dynamic, and it all starts with protagonist Daisy with her uncertainty and her oscillating personality between “Daisy” and “Alenthaea.” The other characters, especially Teddy Fairfax, are also incredibly complex and experience massive personality and narrative shifts over the course of the novel. Taking the knight and royalty trope and flipping it on its head, readers will love the LARPing aspect and the backdrop of chivalric knighthood in this novel. A fantastically fun read, this lighthearted modern romance with its clever, complex characters and novel setting is incredibly well-written, and Clawson gives her story such light and life that readers will find it hard to put down.

This was a cute and clean romance. I didn’t quite but into Teddy and Daisy’s relationship. Daisy is a great character but she has confidence issues and although she works through them Teddy does and says things that naturally send her spiraling.

I think I would have liked this better if it was not a romance just Daisy having fun with her LARP family (dramatics and all) while she works through her personal issues.

Daisy is a very introverted characterter who feels she doesn't really belong in the wider world. Then one day her life is suddenly forced into a world she never expected and to her own surprise she thrives. I really enjoyed this book and I loved the ending.

One of the funniest rom-coms I have read in years. The main character, Daisy Hastings, is a little bit of all of us. Her journey from being an uncertain, anxious nerd, feeling like she doesn't fit in anywhere in the world, to a confident young lady able to achieve anything she sets her mind to with those she loves at her side, is inspirational. The situations she gets herself into through her journey of self-discovery, accompanied by her enemy-to-lover counterpart, Viscount Teddy Fairfax, are simply hilarious. Daisy's relationships with each of the side characters, be it those with her slightly odd but loving family, her nerdy Knight school boss, or her newly acquired friend Bobble who is the polar opposite of the more reserved Daisy in every way, only adds to the comedy and calamity. Thank you once again to Megan Clawson for allowing me to leave reality behind for a little while, and be absorbed in your world of nerdy hilarity.

Take this review with a grain of salt please.

I need to come back to this book and give it another read, because I don't think I gave it the attention it deserves.

April wasn't the best month for me reading wise, and I really think it affected my enjoyment of the books I read as well as my reviews. I didn't ready a lot of books during April. and I'm glad because I'll have to go back and reread the ones I did lol.

I really struggled getting into this book at the beginning. I just couldn't seem to get into the book and I had to read and reread parts of the book because it just wasn't sticking.

That's why I say to take this review with a grain of salt. I can't rate it anything higher than 3 stars for now. I'm hoping that when I go back and reread the book, I'll be able to change my rating.

Don't let my review or struggles getting into this book stop you from giving it a chance though! Like I said, April was a chaotic month for me and hopefully May will be better. I still think other people should read this book and give it a chance.

Very cute book with a cool concept of being based in the Tower of London. I love any book set in the Uk and this one kept me entertained and laughing. It was a quick, cute read and so sweet.
