The Reluctant Royal

5/10 I just love watching Andrew Walker in anything he does

I’ll start by saying I love Andrew Walker, but I do not buy him as a mechanic at all. On the flip side, I totally buy Emilie de Ravin as the duke’s advisor.

With that out of the way….this was such a fun watch! I totally bought into the story & eventual romance.

They gave us so many cute, sweet, silly scenes that really let you see the characters personalities. The relationship’s that grew throughout the story were heartwarming & touching.

Overall it was an easy watch although similar to many.
