A Royal Christmas

 

Back Cover

Adelaide Smith is too busy for fairy tales.

She's been working hard to put herself through law school, and she's determined to stay focused on her goals. Then she receives a letter notifying her that she is a direct descendant of King Maximillian Konig V, the ruler of a small European principality called Montovia.

What? No. That's the stuff of cheesy made-for-TV movies, not real life.

Still, curiosity gest the best of her, leading to a Christmas break trip chock-full of surprises, including a charming village, an opulent palace, family mysteries, royal jealousies, a handsome young member of Parliament, and the chance at a real-life fairy tale romance.

Review

This was a cute novella, perfect for the holiday season. Who didn't dream of being a princess or falling in love in a fairy-tale like land when they were a little girl? A Royal Christmas satisfies all those dreams through the story of Adelaide Smith. I was charmed by the descriptions of Montovia and wish it were possible to spend Christmas in the snowy, mountainous country! 

There was certainly a lot of drama packed into this little novella, and it could easily have been fleshed out to a full-length novel. As it was, it kept the pace of the story moving along at a good clip and held my interest until the very end. I really enjoyed reading A Royal Christmas over the holidays and will definitely be picking up some of Melody Carlson's other Christmas novellas to enjoy!
