Falling Hard for the Royal Guard by Megan Clawson

This is a 2000s romcom in book form, in the absolute best way. I really liked the idea of this book, which is why I picked it up and goodness me, it was so worth it. Let’s get into it.

The Book in Short
Despite living in an actual castle, happily ever after is evading Margaret ‘Maggie’ Moore.

From her bedroom in the Tower of London, twenty-six-year-old Maggie has always dreamed of her own fairy-tale ending.

Yet this is twenty-first-century London, so instead of knights on white horses, she has catfish on Tinder. And with her last relationship ending in spectacular fashion, she swears off men for good.

And then a chance encounter with Royal Guard Freddie forces Maggie to admit that she isn’t ready to give up on love just yet… But how do you catch the attention of someone who is trained to ignore all distractions?

Can she snare that true love’s first kiss… or is she royally screwed?

Love is in the heir in this royally good rom com – perfect for anyone who likes relatable heroines (with great hair), hot and aloof book boyfriends (with great hats), near misses, almost kisses and a corgi or two.

My Thoughts
As I said, it was a rom-com in book form, and it was really good. I enjoyed how Maggie learned to love her life and the people in it. How she learned to appreciate herself and strive for what she wanted.

I thought it was very cute and sweet, also.

The scene with the catfish was heartbreaking, but also so interesting that it made Maggie a well-rounded character who felt very real. I loved the relationship and thought the book was very nice. It was not earth-chattering life life-changing anything, but it was very nice. And to me, someone who does not watch tv but has a great application for romcoms, I can say there is no better compliment.
