Enchanted Warrior
An ancient evil rises. An ancient warrior awakens.
In an age clouded by legend, Gawain was one of King Arthur’s greatest knights. When he awakens centuries after the fall of Camelot, he faces his most daunting quest yet—the search for his missing companions. His hope is that Tamsin Greene, the alluring historian at Medievaland Theme Park, can help him. Then he senses the magic within her… Gawain will now have to trust a witch—and his own heart—to rouse the knights of the Round Table and save humanity from a faery onslaught.

November 3, 2023Honestly, I don't know how to rate this book. Usually, Harlequin romance books rate from 3 stars on down for me. I mostly read them as quick and easy reads to slot into a challenge I do every year b/c I never have a ton of time. Now having said that, I actually really enjoyed this one. I really didn't care too much about the romance part (although there was nothing bad about it and I think most romance readers would enjoy it), but I really loved what the author did with the Knights of the Round Table story and the witches and fae aspects. The entire time I was reading this I kept thinking, this author really should have turned this into a romantasy (Is that the term we are going with these days?) full-length book b/c I think there were a lot of great ideas to mine here and it could have benefited from an expanded world beyond what I am sure I am going to find in the other books in the series.
So, for now, it will remain starless.

Not a new favorite Nocturne but I’m definitely excited to continue on with the series. Our hero time travels from the past to present day, one of King Arthur’s knights and links up with a modern day witch/historian. I kept picking this one up and putting it down so that may have been a reason I didn’t enjoy it as much but I think it’s worth the read especially if looking into a new to you series to get into.

With evil on the rise, Gawain has awakened centuries after the fall of Camelot facing his most daring quest and finds himself having to trust the witch Tamsin Greene to save humanity from a faery onslaught in this enchanting paranormal romance.
Tamsin is a historian at Medievaland Theme Park but she didn’t expect her world to be turned upside down by a real Knight and the readers can’t help but get caught up in the adventure of a lifetime as Tamsin joins Gawain in his search for his missing companions. The chemistry between Gawain and Tamsin is certainly hot enough but there is the small matter of Gawain not trusting witches that keeps this relationship from blossoming to its full potential which has quite a bit of emotional turmoil to grip the heart and these strong, compelling character know just how to ensnare readers into going along with them on their quest in this fast paced, smooth flowing plot full of suspense, action and romance.
Anticipation catches readers by their throat and refuses to let go as the excitement continues to build almost from the very first page, with magical battles, dangerous spells and an ancient evil to ensure that the thrills keep on coming. The setting is modern day but with a twist as they travel through a couple of portals and unexpected surprises along the way keeps things interesting. The scenes are well written with lots of vivid details that make it easy for the reader to stay glued to the pages as they capture the imagination.
When I was a little girl, I feel in love with King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, so you can imagine my delight when I discovered this new series, Sharon Ashwood has brought sexy Knights to life in a modern world but managed to keep the medieval feel of the sorcery that took place in Camelot in what is currently taking place and I really wish that I didn’t have to wait so long for my next sword wielding knight fix….sigh.

A blend of Arthurian legend and witchery, this modern day improvisation lends itself well to the world of the Knights of the Round table. Tamsin is the perfect heroine and Gawain a swoonworthy hero. I enjoyed the updated twist to this legend and the idea that knights could be frozen in time until they were needed to be of service. Combustible scenes between the two MC's rocked it. This was the first book I've read by Sharon Ashwood, but it won't be my last.

Once upon a time, Arthur and his Knights, the witches, fae fought a war against demons. One of Merlin's spells had an unfortunate cost. It took the fae's souls and left them emotionless husks and power from the witches, reducing their power. Of course this lead to them becoming enemies.
Interesting take on the popular Arthur and Knight of the Round Table. Arthur and his knights were frozen/turned to stone and are awakened in the modern age to fight again. The difference is there are no longer in England. They are in the US. Washington to be more precise.
Gawain at first was not a likable character for me. I thought he was rude, demanding. I was also annoyed at the explanation for his adjusting to the modern age (magic). I like him by the end, but it took me the whole book to get there. I did like Tamsin; she was able to defend herself and showed her strength, kindness.
Gawain whole thought process where witches = bad got old. I also thought it interesting that modern day covens had strict rules- ie need permission to travel, they arranged marriages. Men have roles and women have theirs. Tamsin would be the first "Loremaster." This was never dived into and was nothing more than a few paragraphs.

I love the universe in this and love the plot but I don’t like how the characters in this act especially Arthur and Gawain. They also felt distant somehow.
Hector also felt so distant when he and Tamsin reconnected.
I love the retelling and the magic in this though🥰
A book series I could read over and over again just because I love the plot, the retelling and the worldbuilding❤️

This was a fun and enchanting spin on Camelot and King Arthurs court. A sexy adventure with fae, demons and witches oh my! A good lesson in giving someone a chance despite old fears and prejudices. Hope to see more from this world as there is much more to explore.

Sure, it's not great literature, but for a romance novel attempting the fantasy spin, it was pretty darn good. Heck, any romance novel that doesn't use the terms "member", "shaft", or "lady flower" to describe body parts is a win for me!

I don’t usually read King Arthur-type books but this sounded good so I started it about 11:00 last evening and read until 2:00 then got up today and started it again. I enjoyed this so much I hated to have it end. Mostly I think it was because of Napoleon Ryan’s reading. He is totally awesome. When a woman talks it sounds exactly like a woman. And he reads with such emotion. He has become my #1 favorite narrator. There’s other books in this series but they aren’t on audible so I think I’ll pass on them. Without Napoleon Ryan I don’t think I’d enjoy them as much.
This was about Merlin putting King Arthur and the knights of the round table in a deep sleep. Unfortunately, something went wrong and the slept for centuries. The first one to wake up in this century was Sir Gawain and he met Tamsin, who was an historian, to help him find King Arthur’s tomb because Arthur’s evil sister Morgan LaFaye and her just-as-evil son Mordred were about to try to take over the mortal realm.
Gawain had a hard time with Tamsin at first because Tamsin was a powerful witch and Gawain’s mother was a powerful witch who saw nothing wrong with killing someone just for the sake of killing, and his mother was the sister to Morgan LaFaye, so he thought all witches were evil but he really needed Tamsin to find Arthur and the knights.
I was surprised by this book. I had never read a Harlequin Nocturne before and I thought it would be a clean story. I couldn’t have been more wrong. There were 2 or 3 explicit sex scenes. However, there was no swearing. I guess authors think there’s nothing wrong with describing everything sexual going on BUT don’t swear. Crazy!
As to the narration: Napoleon Ryan is awesome. What more can I say?

Kat's Book Report - Contains Spoilers - For my own failing memory...
This review was originally written as part of a personal project to complete an all Fantasy Romance card for r/fantasy’s 2022 Book Bingo. All opinions are my own.
Another RITA Award Finalist for Paranormal Romance in 2017, Enchanted Warrior is the first book in Sharon Ashwood's Camelot Reborn series. Enchanted Warrior was published by Harlequin Nocturne, and I bring that up for folks new to Romance who may not be familiar with the Romance juggernaut that is Harlequin. Harlequin Nocturne is one of the many Harlequin imprints that have been doing serialized Romance for decades. It is their Paranormal Romance imprint and is advertised as "stories delve into dark, sensuous and often dangerous territory, where the normal and paranormal collide" with "two new Harlequin Nocturne titles are available each month!" I hadn't read a Nocturne before, and so when I saw this title, I immediately added it to my TBR!
I'm honestly not that familiar with Arthurian legend. I vaguely remember watching that old movie Camelot once when I was a kid, Disney's Sword and the Stone countless times, and of course Monty Python's Holy Grail. Beyond that, I really don't know much of the lore around King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. So, going into this book, I didn't have any expectations beyond my cursory understanding. The author weaves several known aspects of Arthurian legend in the story, but I can't speak to much more than simply recognizing they were there. The story of the Green Knight, the Lady of the Lake, Merlin, etc. are all present and provide backstory for MMC, FMC, and the secondary characters who will get their own books in the remaining three installments of the series. The author does at one point say "It's just a flesh wound" and there is NO way you can convince me that wasn't on purpose!
The premise is solid. Long ago, Merlin vanquished demons from the world with magic, but his spell had unintended consequences - it stripped the Fae of their souls, leaving them emotionless sociopaths. The havoc wreaked from his hubris would come back to bite the Knights in the future, and so the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur himself were turned to stone by Merlin, destined to wake some time in the future when they were needed again to protect the world.
It's now present day, and Gawain has awoken. The stone effigies of the Knights and the King have been scattered across the world, and he must find them to protect against Mordred his evil Fae half-brother and Morgan LaFaye. He travels to Medievaland - a medieval theme park in Oregon to the site of the Church that originally contained the effigies in the hopes of finding his brethren. Instead, he finds a historian Tamsin, who also happens to be a witch, and together they must find the effigies scattered throughout the land, bring them back to life, and protect the world from the soulless Fae.
The relationship tension stems from Gawain's aversion to magic due to his horrible mother and the travesty it wreaked on his life as a child. He begins to see that not all witchcraft is evil and that it's the person who wields the magic that makes it evil or not. But it takes the entire book for him to come to terms with the parts of himself that he hates and see the truth. Tamsin struggles to find her place in her coven, assert her independence, and be loved for who she is, witchcraft and all. They both save each other during this book, both physically and metaphorically, being each other's knight in shining armor when the time arises. Their romance is tender and believable, and I enjoyed watching them grow as individuals and as a couple.
I honestly don't have much to say about this book beyond the fact that I enjoyed it and it was a solid read. It was entertaining and I thought the alt-Camelot world the author built around Medievaland was a fun idea. I gave the book 3 stars for two reasons. First, the world-building was a bit thin, only fleshed out enough to service the romance plot, which left some questions for me as a Fantasy reader. Second, there weren't really any deep themes to explore here. This is just a simple, fun romance for those that enjoy knights, King Arthur, and Camelot stories, and if you go into it with those expectations, I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

Alright so Enchanted Warrior was a surprise in the best way. Think knights, magic, emotional wounds that still bleed, and just the right amount of sibling trauma. Gawain (our main knight) is dealing with a lot — guilt, fear of turning into the bad guy, and this magic inside him that honestly scares him more than it helps. He’s that mix of strong and broken that’ll have you wanting to hug him one minute and shake him the next.
The heart of the book? His bond with his brother Beaumains. Their relationship is messy and painful but also really tender. Beaumains brings this dry humor and quiet strength that keeps the emotional weight from feeling too heavy — and honestly, some of their scenes hit way harder than expected.
Now… the pacing. Yeah. It’s not perfect. There are moments that feel a bit slow, like the story’s pausing to unpack every single emotion before moving on. Don’t get me wrong, the emotions are chef’s kiss, but if you're someone who needs action-action-action, it might drag a little in spots.
Also, can we talk about the setting? A magical theme park called Medievaland. Sounds chaotic — and it is — but somehow it totally works and gives the story this weird, whimsical layer.
If you're into fantasy with broken characters, complicated family feels, and some darker magical vibes, this one’s definitely worth picking up. Just know it takes its time — but hey, sometimes messy healing does too.

I really enjoyed this book.
I will admit that I don't know too much about Camelot. I know the basic main characters.
But of this story took me out of the story and characters I know. I loved the way Sharon took the characters and pulled them from the past and put them in the present. I loved the way the magic mixed with the story line and also the mystery of where the king and knights of the round table are hidden.
It is a hunt through out the book with twists and turns. You never know what their next move is going to either uncover or what is going to await them. I know that something big was coming, but what it was, I didn't know until the the final fight in the book.
This book also has secrets hidden though out it. It is also about trust. Can a knight trust a witch after Merlin did so much wrong with his powers? Can a witch trust a knight that distrusts witches so much? Also can the he over come the troubles of his family past with magic to learn to love the witch whom seems to have taken his heart?

I understand there are several kinds of publications of this book. I read the edition that is presented as fantasy, not the harlequinromance angle. So I will be reviewing it from the fantasy kind of view and not the Romance ( not that I am averse against those, I myself read the historical ones)
It's a kind of classic fantasy tale with a quest, adventure and magic, partly in our world and partly in other realms. Still it's not predictable, and although it follows the classic storylines it still surprises you. I particularly like the background story of how it all came to pass and the characters personal emotional struggles. Not that it's extremely dramatic but it makes them relatable.
The pace is perfect for this kind of story and a good mix of adventure/battle scenes with emotional ones. Of course there is also a romance going on so I can understand that it also was published in that genre. It's kind of a perfect mix of both fantasy and romance
I personally recommend it to fantasy lovers, who like a kind of mysterious cozy adventure

This is where the old saying, “To each, his own” comes from. Because I really like ‘Enchanted Warrior’.
First time-travel romance. Thoroughly enjoyed. Feels unique, with just the right amount of death, destruction, love, loyalty, care, and brotherly affection.
Started reading this pretty late, thinking I’d get a few chapters in before I fell asleep. Well, the joke was on me, I was up until 4 AM finishing the last words of the book. It was worth it.

A lovely, magical story of King Arthur’s warriors frozen in stone, waiting for the day they are awakened to fight once again for their king. When historian and witch, Tamsin Greene takes a job at Medievaland Theme Park, she’s very surprised to run into a real life knight, the first of the stone warriors to awaken. Gawain hates witches, and is wary of Tamsin’s magic, but he needs her help to find the rest of the warriors so they can be awakened. Danger is coming and they’ll need all the help they can get to fight it. Tamsin agrees to help and fights for Gawain’s trust as they try to ignore the attraction between them. I really enjoyed the touch of Camelot, the evil fae, gallant warriors, and honorable and caring witches, and Tamsin and Gawain are a delightful couple, once they figure out how great they are together. I’m looking forward to more in this new Camelot Reborn series.

Tamsin, a historian witch takes a research job at a theme park. She did not expect to meet Gawain, a fighter from Camelot. He was awakened by an ancient enemy. He is searching for his fellow knights. He realizes that Tamsin is a hidden witch. He requests her help in finding the deceased knights. Gawain faces fae, enemies, and monsters. He needs to find King Arthur. Tamsin agrees to help fight, and form an unlikely alliance. The storyline flowed well. This storyline draws you in from the start. This book is a page turner. There is magic, danger, witches, knights, and enemies. The characters were realistic, and likeable. There is action, intrigue, love, and passion. I loved reading this book!!!!.

A whole new look at the Arthurian legend!
I admit, I have always loved the legend of Camelot, the Round Table, chivalry, Merlin and the whole Arthurian mythos. However, this story brings the medieval into modern times. We have a modern-day witch/historian Tamsin and then we have one of the original Knights of the Round Table, Sir Gawain. Both of them have been wounded in their own way, Tamsin after having lost her father and Gawain by using magic he inherited from his mother. Watching these two come together and learn to trust each is a magic all its own! The story is beautifully written, the danger is very real and the plot is well thought out. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

Enchanted Warrior by Sharon Ashwood breathes fresh life into the Arthurian mythos with a unique, modern twist that totally worked for me. The idea of Gawain awakening in our time to complete an unfinished quest—and finding help from a sharp, magically gifted historian at a theme park—was just the right blend of fantasy, romance, and fun.
The chemistry between Gawain and Tamsin was electric. Their combustible scenes really brought the heat, but it was their emotional connection and banter that made me root for them. I loved how the story balanced action, magic, and romance, all while reimagining Camelot in a clever and captivating way.
The pacing was solid, the writing flowed beautifully, and the characters truly anchored the story. A strong 3-star read, and I’d absolutely pick up the next in the series!

I actually finished this last night but forgot to rate it. It was actually a 3.5 rating. The story was interesting. Ashwood took the King Arthur legend and built an interesting world around it.
Enchanted Warrior is the first book in the series. It tells Gawain’s story. He has woken from a deep stone sleep that lasted one thousand years. He is trying to find the rest of his brothers of the Round Table but he needs Tamsin Greene’s help.
Tamsin is searching for the spell books of Merlin. She is a witch and healer but Gawain doesn’t trust magic users. Tamsin discovers that not only is she looking for the grimours but she is also looking for her father, Sir Hector.
Together Gawain and Tamsin find King Arthur’s tomb and awaken him.

I love reading renditions of the Arthurian Legend, and Enchanted Warrior, the start of the Camelot Reborn series, does just that! I am obsessed with the series already! Historian witch Tamsin takes on a job with a theme park and finds herself in her own Camelot story when one of King Arthur's knights Gawain shows up. Unsure of each other, they quickly realize the two will need to work together to find the other knights and King Arthur himself. Along the way there are many instances of mysticism, adventure, and most importantly, romance! I cannot tell you how excited I am to dive into book 2!

This is a fun take on Arthurian legend. Arthur and the knights of the Round Table we meet in this novel are not the chivalrous "gentil parfit" knights of legend but strong dangerous men who sound like they would fit in with the Hell's Angels. The author's introduction of these time-tossed brutes into modern American society feels right and so do the arguments between modern Tamsin and medieval Gawain. I am looking forward to seeing what happens when other knights run into feisty modern ladies.

Received as an ARC, I am leaving my honest review. I loved this epic journey of one of King Arthur’s knights as he awakens from centuries of sleep. This beautifully written story has everything needed to keep your attention from the first page til the last. Nail biting suspense, awakened magic, the hope of love, and the need to fulfill the quest given hundreds of years ago will have you holding your breath while the plot unfolds. Danger lurks around every corner as the search for Merlin’s books intensifies and evil forces are encountered. The ending is epic and will have you wanting more!.

Gawain one of King Arthur's knights is awakened from Merlin's spell and is in search of the rest of the knights. He comes to Medievaland Theme Park where Tamsin is doing research and asks/demands her help. She doesn't trust/believe him, and he isn't sure of her as he finds out she is a witch. Will she help him, and will they find the other knights before danger takes over? A riveting retelling of Camelot!

This fantasy romance blends Arthurian legend with modern-day magic. The story follows Tamsin Greene, a historian working at Medievaland Theme Park, who unexpectedly encounters Gawain, one of King Arthur’s knights. Awakened after centuries, Gawain is on a quest to reunite with his fellow warriors and battle an ancient enemy. However, his path intertwines with Tamsin’s, leading to a reluctant alliance filled with tension, magic, and undeniable attraction.

I found this an engaging read, loved the references to Camelot, King Arthur and the knights. The lead character, Tamsin was a strong character which I liked she was not going to be ruled by others. There was lots of action, magic use and romance. The following books should be also interesting to read.

I was not sure what to expect when I started reading, but, as far as I'm concerned, this author knocked it out of the park. It is a romantasy that ticks all of the boxes: romance, mythical heroes and villains that time forgot, adventure, and a strong female who can hold her own. This is a page-turner that may make you lose sleep if started too late in the day to finish in one sitting.

Traveling Through Time
I have always been intrigued by the story of King Arthur and his Knights which is why this take on the lore was fascinating. I enjoyed how Gawain has traveled into the present and immediately bonds with Tamsin, a modern day witch. Their tension, his history and the journey they take was full of mystery and adventure.

The Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur and Sir Gawain are back along with Mordred and the magic of Camelot. A twist of magic seals the Knights in time by Merlin, and a modern witch who is the historian of a Medievel Theme Park are star crossed with Sir Gawain. The fairies and fey are controlled by Evil and it takes strong magic to reverse. Interesting.

Gawain, one of was one of King Arthur’s greatest knights awakens centuries after the fall of Camelot, and he and Tamsin must work together to save and restore Camelot.

This was a great read with a development of chemistry between our main characters and a promise of more to come. I always find the combination of history and fantasy a delight since it brings ancient names off the page to life. Definitely recommend and can't wait for the next book!.
