This one is a keeper! It’s the perfect book to read if you want to put yourself in a Christmas mood. It’s easy to read, the characters are engaging and the plot is delightful. However, if the typical holiday movie is not your cup of tea, you may not love it as much as I did.
Here is the blurb from the publisher’s website:
“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.”
This is a contemporary novella, so it doesn’t take long to read. There is a strong element of Christian faith but it doesn’t come across as “preachy”.
This story has all the feel good elements of a happy holiday fantasy. A lovely Christmas village, a handsome "prince", a beautiful historic castle, and a couple of mysteries to solve.
My copy is a hard cover copy, another big plus!
