About this listen

Love is in the heir in this royally good rom com – narrated by Kathryn Drysdale, also known as Madame Delacroix in Bridgerton.

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.

Well, the title literally gives away the whole story. that's probably obvious, but, I have to say whilst this is an easy read. I did find it hard to read because, from the start of the book it was so obvious what would happen it was almost irritating that I knew I had a whole book to go to see the characters actually get together.

But, a lovely note to London and the joy for British history. That was talked about with such passion, its tradition and history is really interesting. I have to say, I genuinely didn't know people lived in the tower and the community that is talked about is lovely. The author herself does live there so this feels like a 'love note' nod to the community she is in.

okay, easy to listen to

This is the perfect book, accompanied by a nice cup of tea, you sometimes need just to escape from your own dreary life for a bit. The setting is especially fun for an ex royal guard and uniform nerd like myself.

Sometimes you just need this kind of story!

If you want romance, humour, a caterpillar to butterfly transformation, tied up in a bow with a little history, this is the book for you.

I initially read this book to support the author as I follow her on TikTok but I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging the story was. I loved watching Magie’s personal growth, being in her mind and seeing the Tower of London in a whole new light. The romance between Magie and Freddy was refreshing, I was really rooting for them by the end. The voice acting was also spot on, easy to follow and really engaging.

Really great first book and can’t wait to read all the books that follow.

P.S. it was beautiful to include such a thorough acknowledgments section. The people behind the scenes don’t often get their due.

Great first book!

it started of a little slow at the beginning but from chapter 2 I was captured.
I felt with Maggie, cried with her and laughed with and about her.
it is very well written and you can literally imagine life at the Tower in the 21st century and in the past.
I loved it that there were some historical facts put in too.
can't wait for the next book.....

One of my favourites
