51kfhc5knl-_sx326_bo1204203200_I’m really becoming a fan of Rachel Hauck’s books. This is the first of this series I’ve read of hers, but now I want to go back and read the first 3 in the Royal Wedding series. The mix of royals with your average folks is a unique and entertaining blend. The romance is captivating, the dialogue witty, and the obstacles in their way all perfect ingredients for one delightful story.

I loved Prince Colin and Avery from the start. These two fight their instant attraction to each other and their complicated past doesn’t make things any easier. They were in love once, until circumstances and misunderstandings separated them for years. When they cross paths again, they’re both in great denial over their feelings. Let the romantic tension begin! πŸ˜‰

The Brighton Christmas tradition, in particular, was one of my favorite parts. It’s charming contribution to the story was simple and sweet. You’ll have to read it to find out what I’m talking about. πŸ˜‰ ( hint hint!) The secondary characters were also vivid to me, as well as the settings. I felt like I’d stepped into their world.

The book was an easy read and had me guessing how the story would end. A Royal Christmas Wedding was a perfect holiday tale. It’s festive and romantic, leading its characters to healing and happiness.

I received a free copy from the publisher. No review, positive or otherwise, was requiredβ€”all opinions are my own.
