Falling Hard for the Royal Guard

slow-paced
Thank you to the publisher for an ARC.
NOT FOR ME.

I don’t even much feel like writing this review because this book and I did not get along. I was expecting a cute romance set in London, learning a little about the guard life, sweet dates, some good kissing, etc.
What did I get?:
- A big history lesson that did not further the ROMANTIC plot of a ROMANCE book whatsoever. Took up too many pages.
- The love interest is hardly actually in the book. HE LITERALLY RUNS AWAY MULTIPLE TIMES.
- Multiple bad Tinder dates that beg the question, WHY.
- Third act wildness that caused me to laugh, because if not, I might throw my book.
- Everything was over the top and not in a good way (clearly, HA).
I just…this let me down so much. And I’m going to end it here because I would not recommend it.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: some
- Romance: make-outs
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of a mother (off-page), a manipulative gaslighting ex boyfriend
