A straight-up romance, the dramatic tension in the novel comes from the emotional development of the MCs and their relationship. Normally, not enough action for my taste, but the characters are well drawn, multi-layered and interesting. The growth in the relationship makes sense, and the occasional bad choice is consistent with the characters. At times LOL funny and others super steamy, this is a great light read for a cold winters night. Only at the end did it falter a little -- the final conflict between the 2 MCs seemed a bit manufactured. But, Ms. Bay pulled it out at the end with a satisfying and not sentimental HEA.

The British Knight is the first book I’ve read from Louise Bay but it won’t be my last. I adored these characters and can’t wait to binge read the others in her series! Worth the read!

I know i have a problem. I admit it. I am an accent slut. I genuinely drooled at Shane East's first words. I had to use a tissue to wipe the drool of my face. I got so caught up in the accent and incredible voice I had to rewind a few times to catch what happened. It's shameful but true!
The British Knight (amazing accent aside) is ace. The tale of two reluctant people and their undeniable chemistry and the gravitational pull between them.
I enjoyed that Louise Bay's characters are all linked. it was fun to see them together.
I am eager for Darcy's chance at her HEA.

Another great book by Louise Bay. Violet falls for her boss while working at his law firm in London. But Alexander is a crazy workaholic. The combination of the two of them is really, really hot! Great Listen. Excellent Narration by Shane East & Saskia Maarveland.

I had such a hard time finishing this one.
The blurb sounded perfect. I mean, a British knight ? Yeah, give me.
The thing is I didn't like Alexander at all. Violet was okay I guess.
But Alexander was just so plain and couldn't take any decision.
Detailed Review coming soon

Since I first saw The British Knight’s cover and read the synopsis, I was really curious about it, and I was very happy to have the chance to read an ARC and discover a new author.
Unfortunately, I was expecting something different, and maybe also a more romantic storyline. I’ve never read Louise Bay’s novels, so my expectations were based only on this book’s synopsis.
I didn’t enjoy this book and the relationship between the main characters (Violet and Alexander) didn’t emotion me, but this probably depends on the description’s style which is far away from what I usually like. Moreover, I didn’t like that the story sometimes sounds a little bit a cliché.
On the contrary, I appreciate that The British Knight presents a dual narrative that I find a pleasant alternative to the typical narration because it lets the reader to perfectly know both Violet and Alexander points of view. Also, in this particular context, the dual narrative really helps the reader to understand the psychology of the characters, and better know the reasons behind their behaviors.

Read as a audio book, on Audible and LOVED IT!!
These two are quite the couple who are very cared dominant but are focused on each other.
Another easy light read, beautiful story line and worth the read!

Audible listen - I enjoyed the majority of this book. I really found the last 2.5 hrs the most interesting. I did feel like it could’ve been much shorter as it dragged in a few chapters.
Alex and Violet were a great match overall. Alex was an uptight asshat. He really didn’t have a reason to be other than he was chasing after his father’s career achievements. He was so singularly focused that he paid no attention to any other aspect of his life. He was so beige. Violet brought so much color to his life (and hellz yes the pun is intended.)
Violet was so engaging. Her past was more than disappointing and she had every reason to be super skeptical of relationships. She was lost and kind of floating to the opportunity to move to London for a bit made sense for her. I loved how even though she was incredibly intelligent, she never acted like hard work was beneath her or treated anyone as if they were ignorant.
Alex needed someone exactly like Violet to rock his world. I can’t say the same thing for her. She brought more to his life than the other way around. But we love who we love and he really did turn a corner because of her. Oh and their steam factor was crazy!! So much chemistry.
My favorite thing was Violet shutting Alex down when he went back on his word. She made him work for it! It was not a simple apology or one lame text. She knew her worth and wasn’t willing to compromise!! Oh and she was totally unapologetic about loving sex. She was fantastic!
