Review: Gwen & Art Are Not In Love (Lex Croucher)

Rating: ★★★★★/5

"'It's not too late to cut you out of this speech.' 'You wouldn't,' Arthur said dismissively, putting an arm around Gabriel's waist and then grinning when he didn't remove it. 'You think I'm far too charming.' 'When they come for my kingdom, I'll tell you if it was all worth it.' 'Please stop flirting,' said Gwen. 'You're giving me a headache.' 'You are sitting in Bridget's lap,' Arthur pointed out. 'And I can very clearly see that she's got her hand on your thigh.'"

Oh my GOD this was adorable and hilarious and SO much fucking fun.

Gwen and Art have been betrothed since Gwen was born. She's always loathed him and his nice hair and his devil-may-care attitude, and really, she's had a crush on Bridget, a knight who comes to fight in the tournaments at Camelot, for years. Art himself is no stranger to crushes; he's had many, always on boys. Art is now being sent to Camelot for the summer's tour, and their marriage feels imminent. How can the two of them reconcile their true feelings when the good of England seems to be at stake?

I love the mish-mash of historical fantasy romance comedy that this book is. There were multiple pages that had me laughing out loud, top tier banter, a fascinating historical backdrop, and romances that you can't help but root for. It all fits together in such a fun package, I don't know how anyone could leave this book and *not* be smiling.

I have to start with the characters, because my god, they're just so, so good. I immediately loved and empathized with Gwen, solitary introvert that she is, and I rooted for her and Bridget SO hard. But Art really does steal the show - he's hilarious, dashing, sweet, and with a heart of gold underneath his bumbling. He and Gabriel have such a great dynamic, with Gabriel being his exact opposite in so many ways, and though I did have a few moments of wishing Gabe ill, overall, what a well-written romance they have in these pages.

The plot here is also much more fleshed-out than a lot of romances, and I love it for that. There are tournaments and battles, layers of subterfuge and ploys for the crown. I didn't go in expecting much on this side of things, and it really blew me away because of it.

The whole underlying current of being true to yourself and finding your crew and all of that just takes this one to the next level for me too. I loved watching these guys figure things out and come together. I love every single one of them.
