The Royals Next Door

This is one of those books that are perfect to pick up if you're wanting a good escape to a rom com. It's one of those cliche rom-coms that are so successful at sucking you in.

I am loving the bodyguard trope at the moment and I really want to find more books that include it.

My only wish is that it wasn't so rushed. I would've loved for there to have been more moments between Harrison and Piper so the romance between them felt more authentic.

That all being said, I laughed and I enjoyed this and I think that's all that matters.

A cute bodyguard romance.
The royal aspect of the book, the royal neighbors, was interesting and intriguing but I don't think it added anything special or different to the story.
Piper was an introvert, almost a hermit, she had a romance podcast (loved that) and she loved reading. I liked her as a character. The struggles concerning mental health and her mom's neurological issues added a more real feel to this book.
I didn't connect much with Harrison. Didn't quite feel the chemistry between them. The steam scenes were ok. I enjoyed the writing. I just wasn't very invested in these characters and their relationship.
Overall, it was an entertaining read. Not very memorable though.
