A Royal Christmas should help get your heart ready for the season.

Meet struggling law student Adelaide who thinks she’s being pranked when a gold embossed letter arrives. The contents turn out to be legit and before you can say “Your Majesty,” she’s whisked off to Montovia to meet her dying father, the king.

Adelaide is escorted by the nephew of the Prime Minister and as he introduces her to the kingdom she could inherit, she opens herself up to love. Then you add in the icy queen who wants the throne for her son, and will stop at nothing to get it, and you have a festive frolic through the snow.

As a Brit, I get twitchy about royal stories with fake European kingdoms. I think this one took the issue of royal inheritance a little too lightly. The way the royals behaved didn’t quite ring true either. But again, that might be my ingrained views kicking in.

Overall, this was an enjoyable read and should be popular with anyone who likes cheesy Christmas movies. I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley. The views are my own.
