I don't really have much to say for this one. I liked it, it was ok, but nothing really stood out about it either. I didn't really feel any chemistry between Gregoire and Charlotte. I did like Charlotte though and I think a book just about her adventures being a spy would be cool. I thought it was interesting how all the characters continually comment on how horrible the Cardinal was, when really he came across as a good guy to me. I actually really liked him. I felt like there were also some scenes that parts were left out. Like during the duel. I didn't see the point of writing about Charlotte going back to her room and showing her POV and then just completely skipping the first part of the duel. I would have preferred to see that or at least put both of it in there. I understand she needed to have gotten her sewing basket someway. Unfortunately I don't see myself continuing with this series.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.… (mehr)

"The Modern Woman's Guide to Finding a Knight" by Anna Klein
Well Well Well!!! What a little gem this was.
And It's not very often I read a completely clean, no hanky-panky romance and actually enjoy it.
But this one just really appealed to me so I thought I would give it a chance.
And I'm so not joking folks, this is clean with a capital "C" there was one little kiss at the end of the book and it wasn't even a passion filled snog, just a sweet couple second smooch and you know what, it made my girly romantic heart go pitter-patter.
So "The Modern Woman's Guide to Finding a Knight" is a clean contemporary romance that features heavily around the Renaissance Faire.
Connie is a dressmaker in the week but come the weekend she is lady Constance,
Dominic is a software programmer in his day to day job, and in his leisure, he is Lord Justin competing in jousts and making his own armour.
After Dom saves Connie from a runaway vehicle he tracks her down to ask her out but lacking self-confidence he manages to get himself in a right muddle pretending to be his own best friend.
What follows is a very amusing tale full of twists, turns and even intrigue and it was such a delight to settle in and read.
Connie and Dominic are both such likeable characters.
Dom is so obviously completely smitten over Connie and Connie herself is so confused by her feelings for what she thinks is two men.
Also just have to mention Lucas the best friend, he was a hoot probably my favourite person in this story, he had all the best lines.
So "The Modern Woman's Guide to Finding a Knight" is a romance of old, it has a lovely old world feel to it, it shows a proper courtship between two imperfect people, both with a bucket load of insecurities to boot.
I was charmed all the way as Connie and dom found there own sweet HEA.
I would like to thank NetGalley, the publisher and the Author for providing me with an arc of this book, this is my own honest opinion.

I was impressed by the characters in this book. They were clearly written, engaging and made what would have otherwise been quite a cheesy story really great.

This is a romance in the most realistic sense, there are no epic passionate scenes of stomping and drama, there are no vivid graphical love scenes and I loved it. I usually don't love squeaky clean stuff as it reeks of long looks and stolen kisses but an unbalanced pair. This is not that.

This is two characters who seem to battle internal conflicts (often with the help of their very realistic friends) of self confidence in romance - will they like me? I loved the backdrop of modern living and reenactment faires mixing seemlessly. This is a great example of how no character needs to be strong all the time.

I am looking forward to reading more by this author… (mehr)
