Falling Hard for the Royal Guard ~ Megan Clawson
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I feel like I’ve had a bad run with romances this year, but finally, a 4 star romance! I really loved the story of Maggie, a girl who lives in the Tower of London with her yeoman father. Unlucky in love, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with an aristocratic grenadier guard who has been stationed at the Tower.
A few things I loved:
- the sweet romance.
- the awesome Tower of London facts Clawson sprinkled throughout the book.
- genuine humour.
- Maggie’s growth particularly in the feelings towards her father’s profession and his relationship with her mother.
I did feel like “the fall” was very quick on both sides considering the amount of time Maggie and Freddie spent together, I felt Maggie spoke more words to some of her tinder dates than she did to Freddie through the entirety of the book.
The chapters were quite long but I did find them easy to get through and that they weren’t long unnecessarily like you can sometimes find.
All I find myself wondering now though, is if Megan started writing this last year, did she start before the queens death and have to go back and change everything to the kings guard and King Charles??
I’m really excited to read Clawson’s new book coming in 2024!
