A Princess For Christmas was one of my best surprises last year, and this sequel was just as enjoyable for settling in for a longer holiday read. I loved the way it was stretched out from one holiday season to the next, giving their friendship a strong basis and so that we could go along with them on that journey. There were a few fun situations that could have been even more yummy if we’d spent just a little more time in them rather than flipping to the next scene, but overall I really liked this slower friends-to-lovers romance. Next year’s is already on my list.
