I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Dahlia is working as a serving wench at the annual Avalon Renaissance Faire when she meets Austin, he is dreamy but guys like him would never date someone like her, but when a patron lays his hands in her he comes to the rescue and removes him from the tent. So when he asks her out for a drink how could she turn him down? Is he just trying to make her feel better or does he really like her?

Austin really didn’t want to go to the fair but it’s his sisters thirtieth birthday and he knows she really wants to go. When Marianne says she will buy him a beer and he catches sight of the beer serving wench he couldn’t think of anywhere he would rather be, she perfect with curves for days and after an incident he steps in. He decides then and there that he is going to let this woman go, will she say yes to a date with him?

Really lovely characters with a sweet story as with all of these books it’s super quick to read but always gives you something great. Recommended read. 4 🌟

He is her Honorable Knight who makes her his lady

So Good Knight may be the twenty-first book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series by Jane Fox but it is as good as the first and all the rest. The story of Austin and Dahlia is sweet, funny, engaging, charming and downright sexy.
Austin Donaldson is thirty-seven years old and is a contractor who is to busy for a relationship, or so he claims. His younger sister Marianne thinks otherwise and contacts Mona Zaftig to work her magic and find him a match.
Dahlia Twist is twenty-three years old, has a degree in history with a concentration in the Atlantic Isles and is currently working at the Avalon Renaissance Faire for the summer as a wench in the beer tent.
On Marianne's birthday she and Austin have a tradition of spending it together, even though she is married. This year Marianne drags Austin to the Avalon Renaissance Faire, complete with costumes, steins of beer and turkey legs. Well there is a little something else that he is going to go home with in the form of a sweet, smart and curvaceous beer wench.
This is another wonderful book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series and I recommend it to other readers!

This is a ARC short story by Jane Fox, it featured the famous matchmaker, Mona Zaftig, who pairs up two lonely people, Austin and Dahlia.
It's Austin's sister, Marianne birthday and she wanted to celebrated with him at the Renaissance Faire. Needing a drink to get through the day they entered a beer tent, that where Austin saw the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. After getting their drinks they went to sit and just then a drunken man came up to Dahlia to order another drink and then tried to assault her. Seeing this Austin jumped up and drag the man out and security took him away.
Being a curvy girl, and wearing the crazy costume seems to get Dahlia in trouble, but thanks Austin who came to her rescue as her perfect knight to save the day.
I am volunteering to leave a review for a ARC of this book.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the 21st book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series. In this book. Dahlia is working at a Renaissance Faire for the summer and is working in the beer tent. When Austin goes in, he noticed Dahlia right away and when a man touched her, Austin came to her rescue. Austin was dragged to the faire by his sister. Austin is a contractor and when he asks Dahlia to go for a drink after she finishes work, he is surprised she agreed. Austin always thought he was too busy for a relationship, but now he has meet Dahlia, he wants one with her. I love this series. They always feature an instant love story. I love how Austin was protective of Dahlia and how he came to her rescue. I think this was another great one in this series.

Austin is a contractor, so busy that he doesn't have time to date. His sister drags him to the Ren Faire to celebrate her birthday. Dahlia has a history degree, and is working as a beer wench at the Faire for the summer. Austin rescues her from an overzealous customer, and later saves her honor when a snotty co-worker tries to get between them. This is book 21 in this series, and it's just a terrific addition. The characters are really nice, and he is just full of good manners. I can't wait to see Mona's next set-up! I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Austin has to accompany his sister to the renaissance faire, there he rescues Dahlia, the beer wench, when a drunk faire go’er grabs her. He helps security escort the drunk out, when he comes back to the beer tent he gives Dahlia his number. She texts him and the two meet at a local pub for drinks and dinner. There he comes to her defense when a fellow faire employee hits on Austin and implies that Dahlia is not his type. Austin is very attracted at her and there is a lot of chemistry. They go back to her place and have sex. The epilogue is sweet, Austin takes Dahlia to the faire and proposes. It’s short and sweet.

Good Knight is another Zaftig Dating Agency match success. I love these books they are quick reads and really enjoyable. This book has Austin taking his sister to a Renaissance Faire for her birthday where he meets Dahlia who works in the beer tent. When they first meet the two are instantly attracted to each other. Austin ends up stopping a drunk patron who gets handsy! Dahlia has a degree in Medieval English history working at the faire she does not have a great opinion of herself and is not used to compliments Austin changes that right away he is smitten!

What a perfect setting for a matchmaking opportunity. The atmosphere at a Ren-faire with a period history buff begs for the protective interference of a knight in “shining armor” when the fair maiden That catches his eye gets manhandled by a drunken lout.

Austin and Dahlia are the perfect match and fall in love instantly and as with all Zaftig Dating Agency matches, we get to find out how they end up in the near future. I live these short, happy and drama free stories.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The chemistry between Austin and Dahlia is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending of this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an entertaining read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

I liked this short story a lot. It made me smile almost the whole time I was reading it. The characters were great and relatable. Austin and Dahlia meet while she is a beer wench at the Renaissance Faire. Everything moves quickly from there. I love how sneaky the matchmaker is in getting these two together. I liked their happy ever after. I liked the way the story ended, but I still wish that there was an epilogue further out. This was a fun read and I recommend that you read it too!

OMG! What fun! Having been to more than one Ren Faire, I giggled my way through this story. I loved it's quirky style, the colorful background, the eccentricities you find only at a Ren Faire. Add in the instalove set up by our favorite matchmaker, and you cannot go wrong! Mona is on point, Austin is heroic, Dahlia is sweet. This quick read is sure to bring a shot of joy to your everyday. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Good Knight is Good Indeed!

Another winner from Jane Fox! She writes the perfect (in my opinion) heroine who is both sassy and insecure, accomplished and intelligent yet doubts who appeal and of course one who knows how to both cede and take control in the bedroom! Always my absolute favorite way to spend a half hour 😍

I received an advance copy of this book and am leaving my completely honest review.

Sweet story with spice

I’ve been to a Renaissance Faire before so I could almost smell the turkey legs and beer that were described. I certainly liked Austin and how he treated Dahlia. As usual, this is a quick read. Always makes wish for more...or an extended epilogue (like 5 years later).

What a great quick and fun instalove story. I love Jane Fox stories. This one shows why. Austin and Dahlia meet at the Renaissance fair. He saved her from a grabby drunk trying to take advantage of her serving wench role. The attraction is instantaneous and makes for another win for the Zaftig Dating Agency.

Austin's sister draga him to the Renaissance festival. They go to the beer tent first. That is where Dahlia is working as a beer wench. Something happens and Austin becomes a hero (Knight). The chemistry between the characters is off the charts. You can see the Renaissance festival in detail. You can see the scene where Austin and Dahlia first meet each other. It is a short read.

I always gotta go back to my little instalove stories. They make me happy. This one was super cute. Dahlia works at the renaissance faire as a beer wench. Austin is there with his sister and sees a man harass Dahlia. From there I’m sure you can guess what happens. Instant love. Super cute. The ending definitely had me kicking my feet.

Loved this book!

Austin's sister drags him to a Ren Faire and he sees Dahlia serving beer. He can't keep his eyes off of her. He gets her to meet him and they go to her place after. This is a short, sweet, insta-love book with a HEA. No need to read these in order.
