Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
After breaking up with her boyfriend, Maggie Moore has returned home, but her dad doesn't live in a normal estate. No, he happens to be a warden at the Tower of London, and lives inside the castle walls. For history lover Maggie, that would be a dream, but her job at the ticket office is mind numbing, her coworkers actively hate her, and she's embarrassed herself in front of the handsome royal guard, Freddie.
I liked this book. There were fantastic moments, and then one in particular which I hated. Maggie was such a likeable character, and her camaraderie with the guards and warden's was great. I liked the chemistry between her and Freddie, though they were very different people. The plot line surrounding Maggie going on 5 dates before she packs it all in was a great way to get Freddie to come to terms with his feelings and finally prove to Maggie he was all in. Such a fun read, and especially one that both history and romance lovers will enjoy.
