It’s been hundreds of years since King Arthur’s reign. His descendant, Arthur, a future Lord …

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.
