About the Book

Title: A Royal Christmas
Author: Melody Carlson
Publisher: Revell
Genre: Holiday Romance
Release Date: September 5, 2023

Adelaide Smith is too busy for fairy tales. She’s been working hard to put herself through law school and now that the end is in sight, she’s determined to stay focused on her goals. Then she receives a letter notifying her that she has been found through a DNA registry to be a direct descendant of King Maximillian V, the ruler of a small Eastern European principality called Montovia. She’s understandably skeptical. This is the stuff of cheesy made-for-TV movies, not real life.

Although the pieces of this surprising family puzzle seem too good to be true, curiosity gets the best of her. At the king’s invitation, Adelaide embarks on a Christmas break trip that is 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 fairy tale romance with a happily-ever-after ending.

Spend this Christmas with bestselling author Melody Carlson as she whisks you away to a royal holiday you’ll never forget!

My Review

A Royal Christmas
by Melody Carlson
Rating: 4/5

Who doesn’t love a good Christmas story? As a huge fan of Hallmark Christmas Movies, I absolutely enjoyed this novella. The characters were spunky and fun and authentic. The situation obviously takes some digging into the imagination but who doesn’t love a good Cinderella story? Or a good Princess Diaries plot? I enjoyed the world building and the setting a lot. I was transported to the world of royalty and it was a great escape. The Christmas aspects make the book even more festive and provide a great backdrop for the story.

Highly recommend this fun Christmas novella for those that enjoy clean romance with humor and fun!
