This was such an entertaining Rom-com that I literally devoured! I loved the Tower of London setting and the little morsels of historical facts that Megan Clawson has snuck in (I definitely learned a few things I didn’t previously know) but it was protagonist Maggie that really kept me hooked!
Her Bridget Jones-esque clumsiness was hilariously endearing and I rather enjoyed her deliciously intense, slow-burn romance with Royal Guard Freddie. The ensemble cast of Guards, Yeoman Warders and even some pretty lively Ravens also kept things pretty pacey with all their humour filled antics.
Overall, an absolutely fantastic debut that any self confessed Rom-com lover and history buff needs to check out —and if you’re on TikTok I’d definitely recommend following the author (who like Maggie actually does live inside the Tower of London.)
