Knights of Caerleon #1
First Knight
King Arthur has never been hotter in this steamy, magical, modern-day adventure of witches, wizards, and Bunsen burners!
As the Lord of Camelot, it is Arthur's responsibility to protect the witches, wizards, and knights in the castle. But one witch in particular gets under his skin like no other. Morgan never listens, is difficult to control, and impossible to keep off his mind. With pressure mounting for him to take a wife, he sets his sights on a suitable Lady of the Castle. Someone agreeable, demure, and sophisticated. Definitely not a hot-headed scientist who always insists on getting her own way.
Once upon a time, Morgan’s powerful intellect was rivaled only by the strength of her magic. But now that her powers have been ripped away, she’s determined to follow her dream of joining a physics research team at the local university. Too bad Camelot is on lock down and the impossible leader of the Round Table is dead set on bringing back the dark ages where witches are concerned. Morgan refuses to bow to the outdated beliefs of her people—she’s a modern woman and won’t be ruled by a man, even if he is sexy and scruffy and good with his sword.
When Arthur and Morgan are forced to reevaluate their feelings for one another, will they continue the fabled rivalry of their namesake ancestors? Or will this noble knight and liberated witch discover a happy ending to their age old story?
First Knight is the first in a series of modern day retellings of the myths and lore of Camelot. If you like fierce knights who would lay down their lives for their brothers and lose their hearts for their women, then you’ll love the Knights of Caerleon.

I don’t think there was anything that I liked about this book.
Morgan and Arthur live in the same town, so they know each other, but they’ve never seen eye to eye. Suddenly Arthur starts seeing Morgan in a different light for no reason and they figure out their relationship.
I don’t think I liked Morgan or Arthur. I didn’t understand his sudden change in opinion when it came to Morgan, and how he couldn’t stop thinking about her and wanting her to be his wife. I didn’t like how he proposed and then all of a sudden, she decides that she needs to reject the fellowship. What did one thing have to do with the other?
There was a misunderstanding when Arthur was injured, and I was annoyed by it. It felt like it was forced into the story.
I thought the bad guy was obvious from the beginning and I didn’t think there was much of a plot.
There were a lot of inner monologues about their town’s/people’s history, and when they were thinking about each other.
I didn’t like this book; I’m definitely not continuing with the series, and I don’t think I’ll try other books by this author in the future.

A great modern version
After being introduced to these characters briefly in the Nia River Adventures and a little more in the Misadventures of Loren, I was excited to read a book solely based in this "world." I really enjoyed Johnson's modern take on the old stories many of us grew up with.
I enjoyed this story from start to finish and cannot wait for the next 5 stories in the series as we discover the back stories to all of these modern knights and ladies.

Old & New world together
An interesting mix of modern and ancient times. The characters are interesting with some great backgrounds. It’s written well but needs some improvement. Morgan is the main female lead character who is very independent and wants to go to the human world to live. She makes a few changes in her life, but not all explained.
The book is lively, with fantastic connections to the original King Arthur.

No normal knights of the round table
The retelling on king author and the Knights of the round table but with a modern twists that actually fits better then any I've ever read its not Forney but could be possible!

I have always love reading books of King Arthur. This was a wonderful take on the story set in contemporary times. There are quite a few “twists” and “turns” in the traditional tale. I look forward to book 2.

Good read
I really didn't think that I would like this book because I'm not into knights and castles and it took me a while to get into it but it turned out to be a great story.

This was a little silly and a bit cheesy and the world building was kind of patchy, but overall a fun read.
