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 gets 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.
...my thoughts...
Every year, Melody Carlson has a knack for writing a wonderful story to put us in the Christmas spirit. This year is no exception. A Royal Christmas is just such a story. Meet Adelaide Smith, struggling law student, so close to finally finishing her degree she is leaving her barista job for good. As fate would have it, she receives the letter that changes her life forever.
This novella is heartwarming and yes, a bit enchanting but still contains a bit of intrigue and mystery. All in time for the Christmas holiday season. I enjoyed this story and recommend this to all who enjoy a modern Cinderella story. This book, like all the other Christmas books I have by Melody Carlson will be read again and again.
