It’s been hundreds of years since King Arthur’s reign. His descendant, Arthur, a future Lord and general gadabout, has been betrothed to Gwendoline, the quick-witted, short-tempered princess of England, since birth. The only thing they can agree on is that they despise each other.

They’re forced to spend the summer together at Camelot in the run-up to their nuptials, and within 24 hours, Gwen has discovered Arthur kissing a boy, and Arthur has gone digging for Gwen's childhood diary and found confessions about her crush on the kingdom's only lady knight, Bridget Leclair.

Realizing they might make better allies than enemies, Gwen and Art make a reluctant pact to cover for each other, and as things heat up at the annual royal tournament, Gwen is swept off her feet by her knight, and Arthur takes an interest in Gwen's royal brother.

Jack 💜 reviewed Gwen and Art Are Not in Love by Lex Croucher

Gay Arthurian fake dating with a dash of political intrigue for seasoning.

No rating

This was okay! I mean, I had fun. I think my biggest disappointment was that the romance felt oddly lacking? Gwen and Bridget seem only barely connected by mutual attraction, and Gabe treats Arthur like a bug most of the time. It’s all very cynical and a bit too tongue-in-cheek for my liking.

Some of the humor is fun, and other times it feels painfully forced. It’s very YA in how it reads, which is fine! Just not my preference.
