A Princess for Christmas
by Jenny Holiday
This book came out at the beginning of October so it is a NEW 2020 Christmas book and is absolute perfection! As it refers to itself throughout the story - it is kind of Hallmark-ish but a little more steamy.
Leo Ricci of the Bronx is just trying to get by - juggling trying to be a parent to his 11 yo sister Gabby after their parents passed away with driving his cab and being the super of the building they live in. One day as they are driving home, Gabby spots someone who looks like a “princess” dressed in a gown trying to hail a cab - Gabby begs Leo to pick her up and help her out. As much as Leo really doesn’t want to and just wants to get home and move on with their day, he finds himself pulling over.
Marie is the Princess of Eldovia who is trying to pick up slack for her father, the king, as he has given up some of his duties since her mother died 3 years ago. That’s how she finds herself in New York, on the side of the road, her dress only half tied, trying to hail a cab to get to the yacht she is supposed to be on in time.
Marie then asks Leo to be her driver for the rest of her time in New York because she enjoys how blunt and straightforward Leo is and how he doesn’t treat her like a Princess - it’s a nice change of pace for once. Leo finds himself taken aback when he realizes he’s beginning to like being around Marie and looks forward to seeing her. Next thing he knows… he and Gabby are on their way to Eldovia for Christmas! But there’s no way he can have a future with the Princess… he’s just a guy from the Bronx - or can he??
I truly loved this book. I give it 4 out of 5 stars!! It was such a great beginning to my Christmas reads for the season. Full of romance and bickering - two people not getting along and falling in love… the best type of story!
I highly recommend giving this book a read this Holiday Season!
*I got this book from the publisher from Netgalley to read and provide my honest review*
