This was a cute story and a quick read. I enjoyed Alicia's passion for her work, Willa's roses, and Jonas being Jonas. I look forward to reading other books in this series.

Content: Clean - passionate kissing, unwed pregnancy

This was a quick read. Cute characters, but not really enough time to develop them so the time felt a bit rushed.

Very good quick read. Liked how the fairy-tale was incorporated and loved the interaction between the two main characters:)

The Princess Problem was Kindle Freebie I downloaded years ago and stumbled on it now when I decided to clean up that enormous freebie pile.

Generally the story was not bad, but it was too short to develop deep characterisation and romance happened too fast. It was all done in a couple of days. Emotions seemed too strong and not realistic (like in a fairy tale).

I was so bummed when this book started getting to the romance part. I just didn't want it to end!!! Such a cute book.

A truly light read, The Princess Problem is a good chick lit that you can read after a stressful day.

A good light funny read. I liked that Alicia and James had so much chemistry and that they didn't get on in the beginning. Think I will read some of Darcys other fairytale books x

The Princess Problem is a short story, only 121 pages long. I didn't realise this before I started reading, so all of a sudden it ended. And I felt a little lost. I don't usually choose to read short stories, I find, especially if they're romance, that they feel rushed and incomplete. The Princess Problem definitely didn't feel incomplete, in fact I felt that it ended really nicely.

However, in my opinion it was too short. There could be so much more to this story! And I actually want Diane Darcy to rewrite it into a full length novel. I loved the characters, Alicia and Willa being my two favourites. I would say Jonas but I honestly don't feel that he had enough time to develop.

I want to see more of Jonas, to really watch Jonas and Alicia's relationship develop. It felt like they were being romantic in the rose garden one minute, and then married the next. Far too quick moving, and yes I know that's how shorter stories work, but I want more! (With all this demanding more I feel like Oliver, here's to hoping I don't get turned down too!)

I've given The Princess Problem 3 Stars, not because I didn't enjoy it, I really did, but because I felt it was too fast paced and quick moving, and Diane Darcy could definitely get a couple hundred more pages out of Jonas and Alicia.

Delightfully delectable

Darcy created a wonderful happily ever after story with a heroine who is relatable and spunky. I loved every word, reading exactly the type of tale I wanted and sharing all the butterfly flutterings that the heroine had. This book is for you if you're looking for a light and fun read.
