I'm going to say upfront that this isn't necessarily a book I would have chosen for myself unless I was looking for a good beach read, so please take my review with a grain of salt. I was sent a surprise ARC copy.

Maggie has (in my opinion) a dream home in the Tower of London. Unfortunately, her life hasn't been filled with fairytales. Throughout the book she's on a quest to find love which, of course, she finds in an unlikely place: a Royal Guard.

The book is cute and I enjoyed the London history intertwined, but it ends there for me. I wasn't a fan of the writing style and wasn't able to connect to Maggie at all. The romance was sweet and I appreciated that it wasn't explicit, though it took a long while to get into it. Overall, I think someone more into romcoms will enjoy this. If you're picky like I am, it could be hit or miss.

A huge thanks to Harper360 for sending me an ARC copy of the book to read and review!
