Art and Gwen are poised to marry each other whether they like it or not. This queer duo finds out each other secrets and uses them as cover for them to pursue their same-sex desires. Set in the times of King Arthur it is a historical rom=com.
I listened to this book through the audiobook and found it cute. You get to see the pair slowly start to care for each other as each pursues the love they want kept secret. Ye old closet for protection. This book has many light components to it as the torment for the knights are competing in being watched by the village and King and Queen along with their daughter Gwen who is in love with the only female knight. As the tournament progresses so does the tension.
I liked how Briddgett kept to her passion and defied the norm of only male knights. And her acknowledgment that she liked Gwen. I liked how Aurther and Gwen had this banter and antagonized each other throughout the book but still cared for each other in the end. The narrators' voices were distinct (one was masculine and the other feminine) to separate the POVs from each other.
All and all a good listen to queered up knights in the distant past
