“I am not a damsel in distress. The last thing I want is some guy swooping in, thinking he’s the answer to my problems.”
“This is exactly why I shouldn’t make important life decisions while drinking boxed wine.”
“This was—I was imagining this. I was trapped in a fucking nightmare. “


Amazing first book in a series. Modern day Camelot / King Arthur retelling 

The blurb of this book immediately caught my interest. The whole idea of the Quest, secrets, betrayal, etc. sounded amazing, and this book was everything I hoped for and more!

Arthurian retellings are some of my favorites, and I loved how this one blended the legends with modern-day life

I’m a sucker for good banter, and Quinn and her knight Landon truly delivered. Their chemistry and banter were amazing, and I loved the “teach me” moments between them.

Overall, the characters were well written and intriguing. I can’t wait to learn more about Landon, Max, and Kingston.

The writing was captivating and kept me hooked. I can’t wait to read what happens next!


I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
