It is officially holiday romance SZN ✨

And what a way to kick it off! This is the third @holymolyjennyholi A Princess for Christmas series and they are all so delightful. Huge shout out to @netgalley and @avonbooks for gifting me this advanced copy!

We are back in Eldovia, and this time focuses on the King’s top advisor, the very buttoned-up and traditional Matteo Benz. He is not excited about the arrival of American consultant Cara Delaney, who is tasked with helping to overhaul and streamline Eldovia’s main industry.

These two workaholics with massive walls up butt heads immediately. Slowly, they start to find a way to work together and open up. Their obstacles aren’t totally what I expected, and there’s even a little mystery woven in.

Both Matteo and Cara are complicated characters, and Holiday did a great job in developing them in a way that made me quite invested. And Eldovia again plays a perfect supporting role. My kingdom for these to get made into movies - would LOVE to see that country on the big screen! Do you hear me, @netflix?!

There’s also a very sweet Thanksgiving scene that gave me all the feels and felt especially lovely to read this week.

This was a fun, opposites attract, dual POV, enemies to lovers, relationship of convenience that turns into more as we revisit Eldovia when New York City business consultant Cara is hired to help improve the country's economy.

Not quite as good as Duke, Actually in my opinion, this was still a very entertaining holiday romance and I really enjoyed getting to see a new side of seemingly stiff, grumpy king's advisor Matteo.

Recommended for fans of A pint of contention by Susannah Nix or Royally not ready by Megan Quinn and great on audio narrated by Cynthia Farrell. Much thanks to NetGalley and @Libro.fm for a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review.
