This book was such a delightful, heartwarming read! With royalty, renovations, and an irresistible grumpy-sunshine dynamic, When You Renovate a Grump delivers a perfect mix of humour, romance, and small-town charm.
I especially loved the opening in London—it felt so well-drawn and made me want to pay a visit asap! As someone from the UK, I appreciated how the royal aspects were thoughtfully handled, exploring the challenges of stepping away from royal life without being overly idealistic. Andi is a strong, determined heroine, and her decision to carve out her own path added depth to her character.
Reece was so sweet. I adored his dynamic with Andi, and his relationship with his parents was a cute addition. The renovation subplot was really fun—I actually would have loved even more of it because those scenes were some of my favourites.
Overall, this was a super sweet, engaging read with plenty of banter, chemistry, and heartfelt moments. If you love clean romantic comedies with a royal twist, definitely add this one to your TBR!
