Once upon a time there lived an outspoken fashion editor named Kat, who certainly was not your typical damsel in distress. But when a gypsy curse sent her back in time to the days of King Arthur, she found she'd need every ounce of her 21st century wits (and pop culture references) to navigate the legend. After all, surviving a magical plot, an evil prince, and a case of mistaken identity--all without changing history or scuffing your Manolos--takes some doing!
Luckily, she's got her very own knight in shining armor, Lancelot du Lac, on her side. The honorable-to-a-fault and devastatingly handsome champion insists on helping her out, even though she's not quite sure she wants him to. After all, shouldn't he be off romancing Queen Guenevere or something? Will Kat manage to stay out of trouble long enough to get back to her beloved café lattes, cosmopolitans and cashmere? And what will Lancelot's forbidden love mean for the kingdom of Camelot?
A wonderful take on the King Arthur legends, and the book was witty without being annoying, very much enjoyed it.

The book was fabulous!
Except for one thing...THE ENDING.
I'm sitting here all like waiting for the happily ever after,
BUT NO.
IT HAD TO END AT THE MOST WORST PLACE EVER.
This was literally me when my mind finally absorbed what just happened...
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
PLEASE WRITE A SEQUEL.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN LIKE 10 YEARS SINCE THIS BOOK HAS BEEN OUT. BUT PLEASE!!!

I picked up this book because I love stories of amazing women traveling through time and this sounded like fun. I didn’t have much fun reading it though. I found the main character very unlikeable and I know unlikeable characters aren’t always a good reason to dislike a book but it was tough to find anything else likeable. The main character is selfish and flippant. The dialogue is often the opposite of body positive and almost homophobic. I don’t care how great you think you gaydar is, you don’t go around outing people before they are ready, especially in eras where that sort of revelation could have you burnt at the stake. Also there are a number of comments about being raped by ‘ugly’ men as though being raped by attractive people makes it ok. It doesn’t. I’d have probably loved this 10 years ago but now it doesn’t hit the spot as it’s way too problematic. I wouldn’t recommend it.

A very funny, light read! The book is full of great ideas (the Atkins diet in Medieval times? Not a good idea!) and I just loved the (often hilarious) dialogues.
