Résumé :

'This laugh-out-loud, heart-squeezing romcom hits every note perfectly-equal parts nerdy delight, spicy tension, and emotional depth'?????

A side quest he never saw coming...

Phil Owen has it all figured out - or rather his character in his weekly role-playing game does. In real life? Not so much.

When his best friend's sister Amy Evans returned home broken hearted six months ago, inviting her to join the game seemed like the kind thing to do. But now, all it's done is given her another way to drive him crazy, in more ways than one.

Yet when an unwelcome character from Amy's past turns up in her present, Phil gets to play the hero in real life. His quest? Three months as Amy's fake boyfriend, and a chance to turn fantasy into reality...

What to expect:

• Cosplay
• Brother's best friend
• Fake dating
• Nerdy hotness
• Real life knight in shining armour
• Emotional depth
• Spicy

Readers love Date Knight:

'Kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend' ?????

'I started it for the fake dating + D&D drama and stayed because Phil Owen is the soft, competent, emotionally-repressed tailor of my dreams. Like sir you SEWED HER A BALLGOWN? Amy is chaotic, sharp, and heartbreakingly human.' ?????

'Such a cute nerdy little romance' ?????

'I had fun, I had smiles, I had belly flutter feels and adored the plot and the characters within it. There was heart, there was emotional momentsand there was romance in all its loveliness' ?????

'The banter! The yearning! This wasn't just friends to lovers, this was friends to almost lovers to slight enemies to fake dating to lovers. The chemistry Amy and Phil had was obvious from the jump and I was all in' ?????

'Interesting side characters and personal challenges as well as great settings and activities for [the] characters, including some of my favorites like Ren Fairs and Fantasy balls' ?????

'A cute, cozy and heartwarming read! I binged my way through pretty quickly hoping that Phil and Amy would find their way to a HEA' ?????

'I had a lot of fun reading this, it's geeky, sweet and a ray of sunshine in a book. Although it still managed to make me cry' ?????

'Ren faire is such a fun setting and the characters are a delight' ?????

'An enchanting blend of Olivia Dade's warmth and the adventurous spirit of A Knight's Tale, all wrapped up in a spicy romcom that left me grinning from ear to ear.'NetGalley Reader on You've Got Chain Mail
