This one was just okay. I kept thinking Princess Diaries or The Prince and Me but there was just no character development for Maggy. It was all "Yay I'm a princess, better learn how to do that job!" Reza was more the focus for moving beyond a tragic upbringing than Maggy.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just want a really good Harlequin Presents read. I want the tropes to be laid on thick, I want to laugh at the outrageousness of most of it, and I want to lose myself in a world of pure imagination. When I don’t want that itch scratched, HPs are annoying and so I read them selectively. I’m so glad that Bride by Royal Decree is a fab example of the line and that my Christmas break provided an excellent opportunity to enjoy it.

A lost princess, assumed long dead, is found twenty years later by the man she was promised betrothed to at birth.
Reza, King of the Constantines, leaves his European country and travels to a small town in Vermont to rescue her promised bride.
What he finds is a bleached blonde, spitfire, on her knees scrubbing the floor of the coffee shop where she works. From the very first moment, Maggy’s spitfire personality lashes out at Reza in so many amusing ways.
Assuming that Maggie would be happy to be told that she is a princess, Reza was shocked when Maggy kept throwing no holds barred insults at him.
Their first meeting in the coffee shop grabbed me and got me hooked. The rest of the book had a few slower bits, but Maggy’s sass rescued it when it started getting dull.
It was an interesting take on the Cinderella story and I lurrrve my fairy tales! This was a fun read because of Maggy and Reza’s oh so unwilling attraction to her. It was fun watching him try to fight against the inevitable.
