Such a cute hallmark-y Christmas romance that actually takes place in a realistic timeline. The enemies to friends to lovers with some spice and cheese roped in made this a sweet book to listen to!

I was expecting some cheesy hallmark-style Christmas story, but I was gladly mistaken. I actually loved this book! It was funny, sweet, and heartwarming. I loved how Max and Dani's relationship turned from genuine friendship to lovers. I was a little confused with their dynamic at first because I haven't read the first book in this series, but it was easy to follow after the first few chapters.

(Free review copy) I enjoyed this royal romance and especially loved how feminist the relationship was. It’s a fun story but I always struggle a bit with monarchies / countries that were invented simply for the sake of the story ~ it sends us into the edge of fiction verging on fantasy and I prefer my romance solidly in the realistic realm. This series reminds me a lot of Alyssa Cole’s royal romances.
