Grace Hitchcock's "To Kiss a Knight" is a delightful, witty romance featuring Sebastian, a gallant knight, and Vivienne, a clever novelist, and their marriage of convenience. I especially liked the sweet grandmother and the supportive cast of friends and staff. Anne Flosnik's captivating voice brings the story and its characters to life in the audiobook.

Some stories charm you from the first page and keep you grinning until the last. To Kiss a Knight was exactly that kind of read—clever, quick-witted, and full of delightful trouble I couldn’t stop flipping pages to follow.

Vivienne Poppy might be writing under a name she borrowed, but there’s nothing borrowed about her boldness. I couldn’t help but love her from the start—creative, chaotic in the best way, and always one idea away from making a bigger mess. And Sir Sebastian? Let’s just say his honor isn’t stiff—it’s sincere. There’s a quiet steadiness to him that balances Vivienne’s flair, and I enjoyed every bit of their not-so-simple arrangement.

But tucked in between all the banter and near-disasters were moments that made me pause and smile a different kind of smile.

“I’ve been through such attacks… For me, the lion stalking me is fear. It is only in Christ’s strength that I have found my way through the battle of anxiety and fear.” That line? That’s where this story hit a little deeper for me. Because sometimes, the battle isn’t what’s outside—it’s what stirs inside. And this book doesn’t shy away from that truth. It brings it gently, through characters learning to breathe again, to trust again, to pray through the pressure.

“Lord, help me through this…” A quiet prayer in a fantastic story that continually reminds us we are always dependent on our precious Lord and Savior.

Grace Hitchcock’s writing is exactly what I needed—playful and strong, adventurous with purpose, and full of unexpected joy. I’ll be re-reading Vivienne and Sebastian’s fantastic story over and over again!

This was very enjoyable. A little different regency romance and perhaps unrealistic for the time frame. Vivienne was extremely feisty, even as tiny as she was and had an independent streak. Bash... Sebastian was a knight but he didn't always act so proper. Throw these two together, with a beloved grandmother, a conniving stepbrother and hilarity is found.

A meet cute, runaway bride, opposite attracts, independent damsel, a knight , and neither wish to wed.

A new to me author and the first book I've read by her .

Vivienne is an authoress writing under the name Lady Larkby, a title she doesn’t think exists but boy is she wrong. Sir Sebastian Larkby is a Yeoman of the guard. He recently went undercover as a highway man. He robbed and took Vivienne but escorted her home. He then discovers that someone is posing as his wife, and he isn’t married. When he finds out it’s Vivienne, he comes up with a plan to help them both with this situation. She agrees to pretend to be married but doesn’t know he was the highway man. And her ex fiancé is on his way to claim her.
Oh man, I loved this story!! It was such fantastic fun! Vivienne is hilarious with all her mishaps. Sebastian is so smug sometimes and finds her delightful. He is very heroic as well. I love their interactions so much! They just sync together so well. I loved Sebastian’s grandmother, she is just great always encouraging them to kiss. Haha. I loved how Sebastian and Vivienne’s relationship progressed. There were a lot of funny moments and some swoony moments as well. I just loved it all! I highly recommend!

Y’all this is such a fun book. It has it all! A dashing rogue. Almost a marriage of convenience. A
sweet romance. Characters I couldn’t help rooting for. And such an authentic voice for the early 1800s in one of my favorite English towns — Bath. I loved this book — it was so fun and such a great read!!! I highly recommend this Regency novel!

Wow, this book was such a page-turner! From the very first page, you're thrown right into the action, and it’s hard to put down once it starts. Vivienne’s kindness to Sebastian’s grandmother was so heartwarming, and Sebastian’s honorable character sets the bar high for any man. The chemistry between them is electric from the get-go, making you root for them the whole time.

Vivienne is running from a forced marriage and taking on a new identity as the author Lady Larksby in Bath, but things take an unexpected turn when she’s kidnapped by a highwayman. At first, he robs her, then saves her...and that’s where things get complicated. Turns out, Sebastian is no ordinary thief but a knight undercover for the prince. After a life-changing encounter, their paths cross again...

Sebastian needs Vivienne’s help to keep up the appearance of a marriage for his ailing grandmother, and Vivienne needs his name as her pen name... they propose a fake marriage. Sparks fly between them, but there’s one problem. Vivienne doesn’t know Sebastian’s secret: he’s the thief she met earlier. As they navigate their growing feelings and complicated situation, they both struggle with their secrets and what it means for their future. And what happens when the truth is revealed, or when Vivienne former fiancé comes to claim her. Can a fake marriage or a marriage built on lies keep her safe?!

This book is full of twists, romance, and drama. You won’t see the curveballs coming, and I couldn’t stop reading it! I definitely recommend it! I honestly have never read anything quite so unique, and I loved it!

I received a complimentary copy. This review reflects my honest opinion.

This has been an anticipated read for me since I read the first book, and it did not disappoint!

Vivienne was a favorite side character, so I was thrilled she was getting her own book! She's so full of life and inspiration , she's one of those characters that you really look up to. So many times she finds herself in dire situations, but she just keeps going and doesn't let anything stop her.

Bash was the absolute perfect hero. 🩷 He gave off Zorro vibes for me which I absolutely LOVED! His two sides to his life really gave it a nice mystery and anticipation for how it would end!

If you enjoy clean closed-door historical romance full of intrigue and mystery, then I highly recommend this one! 🩷

My heart is soaring! I absolutely adored reading Vivienne and Sebastian's story!!! From that first sentence, I knew this book was going to be delightful and something that I wouldn't want to put down. I honestly didn't want it to end. Grace Hitchcock has created a storyline with characters that you can't but help cheer for them and their struggles and joys.

A Highwayman, a young lady running away to protect herself who ends up kidnapped by said highwayman, a knight in service to the king, said knight's sickly and frail grandmother, a jilted bachelor who is a cad, and dear friends to the young lady who stand by her side. All combined together, they make a delightful group of characters that brought me much laughter, adventure, sweet romance, and joy!

I hadn't read books by this author until I picked up the audiobook for the first book in this series, To Catch a Coronet. I had a copy of this one and wanted to read the first book before diving into this one because I prefer to read books in a series in order. Even though both of these books could be standalone reads, they are both wonderful and worth reading! The friend group in both books made my heart so happy. I love when the main character has a good friend, or more, and we as readers get to see those friendships continue to move forward and develop. These ladies made me smile and giggle, and cheer! They're the best! You're going to love them! And these books! I'm so glad I finally picked up books by this author as some of my book besties have been encouraging me to do so for a while now! They were right, I loved them!!!

Oh my heart! I just adored Vivienne! And Sebastian. Major swoon! Vivienne has made a tangled web, unwittingly, and now fate has jumped in and offered a hand to help her untangle it...or rather tangle it up really good and knotted before she can start to untangle it. And all the untangling is delicious and sweet and perfection! As much as I loved the first book, this second one is even better for me! I hope that if you pick them you, you find yourself smiling and laughing and swooning as I did. This book is definitely going on my favorite's list! And now, I need more!!!

Content: Clean. Hidden identity, marriage of convenience, some very mild suspense/peril. Nothing more than some sweet kisses.

I adore Grace Hitchcock’s writing. It’s witty and fun and makes me grin like an idiot! She had me laughing right from the start with this one. Maybe it’s the fact that Vivienne is a writer that endeared her to me… I just love an authoress for a heroine! And Sir Sebastian!! Insert swooning here! And it was wonderful to have Tess pop in. (I look forward to her book next!!) I enjoyed every page of this book, even if I was shaking my fist at the villains (yes, that’s plural).

I do wish the epilogue had been a bit longer and wrapped up some details I felt were lacking at the end. But it was at least satisfying with what few details we got.

This one just might be my favorite of the series!

Okay, this book was SO fun!!! If you like regency stories with funny moments, piping romance, and a well-developed marriage of convenience, this book is for you.

I loved how Grace integrated the reader so effortlessly into the Regency setting. Oh my goodness, you'll be gripped from page one. Let me just say...the romance!!! It was so well plotted and included both heartfelt and swoony moments. I loved how each character felt intrigued by the other and fell for each other. It was a slow-burning romance, as in they waited to confess their feelings to each other, but their adoration for each other was perfectly timed. As always, I'm a sucker for a good marriage of convenience. I love how Grace wrote this book!

I did feel a bit confused sometimes at the beginning of the story, but as I got into the story, this improved. Also, I feel that the two main characters could have been just a bit more unique, but that's just my opinion. Other readers may feel differently, and it could just be me! My opinions are fallible, and someone else may view the book differently.

Finally, I appreciated the dedication to faith content. This was well-written and so authentic. I loved this part of the story, and it warmed my heart, especially when the two characters encouraged each other through biblical messages.

What a wonderful story, and stay tuned for sneak peeks of this book in reel recommendations!

Happy reading,
Bethany the Bookworm Girl

To Kiss a Knight had everything I love in a historical romance. The wit and playfulness of Vivienne and Bash had me laughing many times throughout the story. The building romance was portrayed in a way that it made it swoon worthy and there was tension due to many circumstances.

Mrs. Larby, Bash's grandmother, was so fun. I loved her attempt to push Vivienne and Bash into displaying their affection for each other, even if it wasn't so. There were a lot of prayers said, and scriptural passages included which made the story even more endearing. The descriptions of the countryside and the Larby Castle, brought the story to life. The adventures, lingering secrets, and Bash's courage and enduring qualities made him likeable, despite the secrets.

I read the book in one sitting until early morning. Be sure to schedule enough time, because you won't be able to put it down. It is such an intriguing story taking you back to the days of knighthood. I was still reflecting back on the story after I turned the last page. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful regency adventure with romance, a noble hero and a spunky bookish heroine! A marriage of convenience with noble goals, an ailing grandmother, a sweet stable boy, loyal friends, a job involving secrecy for the crown, kidnapping, plot twists, all told with humor and witty banter. Perfect, loved it!

The story of Vivienne Poppy, the highwayman, and Sir Sebastian Larkby, is delightful!

I love this story! From beginning to end I was immersed in the pages and read it in one day. There are so many swoony moments and the fact that Vivienne writes a book based on it all it is genius. Regency at its finest with the streets of Bath, fencing, pretentious balls, to the beautiful rolling country side of England. Grace Hitchcock is supreme with the regency period and has mastered the skill of writing and story telling. The witty banter and humor will have you rooting for Evie and Bash from the beginning. Many times I found myself laughing out loud from Evie’s antics or them besting each other in wit. As every good story has evil and greedy men bent on taking what they fill entitled to, this book has two of them engulfed by their own gain. There is an abduction from a mysterious, handsome, highwayman with a secret life of prestige that incites fear and longing. Fast pace action with twist and turns you don’t see coming will have you on the edge of your seat. Each character is well written, it’s like you’re there living out the story with them. I am totally enchanted with this book and must have it for my library. Grace Hitchcock is the Jane Austen of days long ago.

To Kiss a Knight by Grace Hitchcock is book number two in A Novel of Best laid Plans series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel. Vivienne Poppy has a plan to escape her brother and a horrible arranged marriage. She is going to use her writing pseudonym Lady Larkby until she discovers that is a real name Sir Sebastian Larkby is a Yeoman of the Guard and recently knighted. When he discovers Vivienne, he is not sure what to do. Especially since his grandmother is so excited, he has taken a wife.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Regency Romantic Comedy! What a delightful story that starts out with a bang and had me hanging on each word until the end! Watching Vivienne and Sebastian both go outside their comfort zone with each other, grow as characters, and discover their hearts was a delight! They both had great chemistry, banter, and sweet spirits. The Regency setting was fantastic with wonderful historical details that made the story come alive. I could not put this one down!

I loved the romance, setting, faith elements, humor and chemistry between Sebastian and Vivienne. To Kiss a Knight will be one of my favorite books of 2025! I very highly recommend!

For fans of rollicking and witty regency romance. A lighthearted story with Princess Bride vibes.

When a authoress meets a highwayman, she finds herself entangled in a tale much like one she would pen. Circumstances envelop them and a marriage of convenience seems the best option. A knight, a female author, and a meddling grandmother? What could go wrong?

Personally 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️. I wasn’t particularly invested in the story. Very clean, lighthearted—just not the type of regency that I typically read. Thanks to the publisher for giving me an e-arc to read and review.

This was by far my favorite Grace Hitchcock Book. I stayed up late reading this book which I haven’t done since I was a child! This book was fantastic.

Vivienne, is an author on the run. Sebastian is a knight for the Prince Regent. Lies, deception, and adventures, this book has it all! This book also had some hilarious things, at one point I laughed so hard I was crying!

The worst part of this book is that the story is over! I need more about Sebastian and Vivienne. I need to see what happens to them next! I read the last page and couldn’t believe it was done!

This book is absolutely fantastic I highly recommend it!

I really have enjoyed this series by Grace Hitchcock! If you haven't read her you need to add her to your TBR list. She somehow finds a way to make you chuckle in a story while swooning at the same time. One of my favorite tropes is marriage of convenience and To Kiss a Knight goes above and beyond to meet this trope!

I really enjoyed the characters in this story. Vivienne is an authoress who has run away from her brother to escape a marriage to a horrid man (seriously he is the absolute worst!) She has taken on the name of Lady Larkby not thinking of the repercussions in doing so. Sebastian Larkby who has a dual personality as the Highwayman has kidnapped Vivienne and is captured by her from the start.

I absolutely enjoyed seeing some past characters and Sebastian's grandmother was perfection. I adored her. This is such an enjoyable story. There is plenty of swoon-worthy moments and a bit suspense as well. Overall I really enjoyed the story and cannot wait for the third book. Although this is part of a series, it definitely can be read on its own but its so much better when you know some of the side characters to begin with. This is a must to add to your lists!!

To Kiss a Knight is the third book I have read written by Grace Hitchcock, and she has now become an instant read for me. This book was so hilarious and well-written, it was such a pleasure to read. The book sucked me in from the start and now that it is over, I’m a little sad to say goodbye. This will be a re-read for sure. 

The character development was great. I loved watching Vivienne writing and trying to find herself out of different predicaments and seeing Sir Sebastian sweep in to save her. Watching Vivienne deal with anxiety and the way her stepbrother is treating her is heartbreaking. Very evident of the times. Sebastian was an interesting character with lots of layers. We meet him as the highwayman robbing a stagecoach, to later find out he was sent to do that on an assignment. Sebastian is a very caring, God-fearing man. We find out he is very loyal to the Prince Regent. 

The setting and plot were great. I loved being in the Regency era, Attending Balls and fencing matches. I enjoyed the marriage of convenience trope with the meddling grandmother. It made for some great humor. However, when the cousin swoops in from nowhere to steal the inheritance and sends grandmother to the asylum, I was not happy. In the end, everything works out. 

The romance aspect was low spice and perfect, just the way I like it. There were a few passionate kisses, but nothing over the top. 

Grace Hitchcock did a great job intertwining faith throughout the book.

England 1813

Charming!

Such a fun way our hero and heroine meet...Sir Sebastian Larkby posing as a highwayman abducts Vivienne Poppy when she's unexpectantly in the carriage that is his target in service for the Crown Prince. Of course, Sir Larkby can't reveal his true identity and the fun continues from there.

My favorite character was perhaps Grandmother. What a great part of the novel.

Grace Hitchcock has done it again! Book 2 of Best laid plans will draw you in with Vivienne's call to freedom from her evil stepbrother in hopes of living a quiet life being a famed author. Escaping danger, meeting a dashing highwayman, and finding love in a most unlikely place.An adventure worthy Lady Larkby's (Vivienne's nom de plum) lastest novel. It is a must read!

With a title like that, it's safe to assume there will be yearning, but the banter?! Fantastic! Readers who enjoy historical romance, fun escapades, and humor will love this second installment in the Best Laid Plans series!

We pick up in London, 1813, with Muriel's friend and author Vivienne Poppy. Escaping a terribly arranged marriage, she flees into the arms of Bash, a highway man who kidnaps her, steals her funds, but respectfully drops her off at the home of her choosing. Bash is giving mixed signals here, which makes sense considering he's actually Sir Sebastian Larkby, secretly uncover! Unbelievably, Vivienne's nom de plume, Lady Larkby, is Sebastian's LARKBY family! Her entrance into society brings her joy, but confuses Sebastian as he doesn't remember marrying anyone. Sebastian confronts Vivienne and their conversation blossoms into a delicious plot to keep each other's secrets and bless his ailing grandmother with hope of continuing the family line. And grandmother? We LOVE HER 🤣 #TeamGrandma all the way! We ride at dawn to protect her and her unfiltered thoughts! Which is good because the adventures and dangers are just beginning in this exciting, action-packed novel!

I have too many favorite moments to count, laughed out loud almost continuously, and called my girlfriend to tell her she needs to read this book ASAP as soon as I was done! The ring 🤯🥰 The river scene!!!

"Honestly, Bash, have you never taken someone against their will before?"
"A library with a rolling ladder?" 😂🤣
Flying breaches?! 😂🤣
"She'd been in the saddle for approximately two years."

And that ending?! 😭🥰 I am whelmed 💖

Tropes: historical romance, faith elements, enemies to in love, strong FMC, protective/respective MMC, marriage of convenience, family drama, adventure, found family, HEA
Spice: 1/5 🌶️
Gore: 1/5 🩸
Language: 0/5 👀

A regency romance that will sweep you off your feet!

Vivienne is fleeing an unwanted arranged marriage when her getaway coach is stopped by a bold and dashing highwayman. An authoress who writes under a pseudonym, she is shocked to find that she has unwittingly stolen an identity. Can a facade born of convenience, lead to lasting love?

Delightful regency romance, with a riveting plot, and enchanting characters, it combines the best tropes in this charming rom-com. Vivienne is a woman with a plan, she is quick thinking and industrious but isn't immune to her imagination getting ahead of her. She is genuine and has a big heart, instantly loving Bash's feisty grandmother, seeing her as family. Bash is everything a knight should be, dashing and honorable, seeking the most noble of outcomes. I liked how he is there for Evie when she needs him, protecting her from brigands and from the wagging tongues of society. Grandmother Larksby is hilarious, and mischievous in her often-under-estimated old age. Charlotte, Muriel, and Tess are wonderful friends to Evie.

Overall, a charming regency rom-com, with a spunky, book-loving heroine and a noble knight. A full cast of characters, wonderful plot, and witty dialogue. Solid clean romance, with strong themes of faith and trusting God. Highly recommend!

I devoured this sparkling addition to the Best Laid Plans series. The cleverly designed, perfectly balanced storyline roped me in immediately and kept me bound to the pages all the way to the satisfying ending. The compelling cast of characters, main and supporting, is cleverly developed and unforgettable, even those who are not very likeable. Author heroine Vivienne "Evie" Poppy and honorable knight Sir Sebastian "Bash" Larkby easily made my list of favorite fictional couples. Several entertaining, laugh-out-loud situations arise thanks to Evie's insatiable curiosity. These scenes, plus the witty verbal exchanges between Evie and Bash, enrich the story and make these characters even more endearing. The beautifully sketched historical setting provides a wonderful backdrop to the enchanting narrative. I wholeheartedly recommend this sweet escape into the Regency world which will entertain and delight you with intrigue, humor, romance, secret identity, and danger.

This book had one of the best beginnings ever written! Vivienne wakes up in the arms of a highwayman who is really a knight in disguise! The banter, the romance, all of it was just Wow! Sir Sebastion aka Bash was absolutely dreamy. Grace Hitchcock is the Queen of romance! Can't wait for Tess' story next!

I really enjoyed Vivienne and Sebastian’s story. Each found themselves using aliases in order to keep their livelihoods alive. Their aliases led to some complications, sticky situations and much humor. I loved the grandmother in this story and would enjoy being a part of her family.

Vivienne’s insatiable curiosity caused her to get into some rather amusing predicaments. I laughed out loud, more than once. This book was so much fun to read.

I love when books are populated with characters who love reading and writing, who look to books as a source of comfort and entertainment. Books are treated as treasures and have a place of importance in the lives of the characters and in this wonderful story.

This is a book for book lovers and I love books. Therefore, this book is definitely for me!

What a grand adventure that Grace Hitchcock takes her readers on! I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, daring book. I love to read light-hearted romantic adventures. To Kiss A Knight is delightfully entertaining and engaging.

I enjoyed this book so much!! I started reading it thinking I would just get a few chapters in to get a feel for the story. Ha! Sometime in the middle of the night I finally forced myself to put it down, but I finished this book in a day - I could not stop reading! The story is fun and engaging and just plain unputdownable! Highly recommend!
