**My thanks to NetGalley and Tule Publishing, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This book is every girls dream in that she dreams she is a lost princess and is finally found and gets her moment to be the star role in the fantasy, except in Holly Yates' case it happens to be true.
Holly lost her father many years ago and only recently her mother died and the cost of the medical bills has left her with mounting debts and three jobs.
Her world is shaken upside down however when a photo of her in childhood is aired with the news that this is the lost princess of Coronia.
Felix has never wanted to be the Prince, but if he cannot find the lost Princess he has said he will take the job when his friend and mentor Prince Albert dies.
Neither Felix or Holly expect the attraction to each other and Holly gives Felix a whole new way of seeing the place that he grew up in with a realisation that he does not want to leave.
We have our villains who try and stop both Holly or Felix from getting the crown, but as i all happy endings things turn out for the best.
A brilliantly written holiday royal romance.

Ooooo, I liked this one. Loved the premise, loved the characters and I loved their backgrounds. This one wasn’t very Christmassy but I’m not complaining, it was still a lot of fun. The drama was extremely predictable but it worked well in this case.

This book was a perfect Christmas read. I will always love the secret princess story, who either doesn't know she's a princess or has been hidden all her life until all other royal options have been removed.
This story is about a young woman from Baltimore, who doesn't know that she was adopted by two people she thought all of her life were her parents. She only finds this out when she's watching a local news story about a royal prince who has a 24 year old picture of a little girl in a white lace dress. The little girl in the picture is currently the only royal direct heir to the throne of Caronia (made-up country).
The rest of the story is so delightful and sweet, but at the same time talks about some real world problems like healthcare costs and old infrastructure.

A very lovely modern take on a fairy tale. A missing royal princess who doesn't know she is missing nor that she is a princess having been raised by loving adopted parents. A very distant male relative of the Prince taken in when his parents pass away looking for her. A lovely country with the best of all worlds. Two devious villains. And of course a little fluff ball of a dog devoted to his mistress.
This is a fast fun read that hits the spot when you just need something to take you away.

Better than "Rescuing the Prince" which is also on the Plus catalogue. The main character in this one is a kind,strong young woman, who isn't trying to sabotage things. Didn't care for the drama during the last hour,but otherwise it was a moderately relaxing listen, narration was good and it was clean. Unfortunate that the Kingdom is called Coronia ,which is so close to Corona virus.

A really sweet, somewhat sad Christmas story. (Happy ending though!) Absolutely loved it. It reminded me a little bit of The Princess Diaries and that’s one of my favorite movies. Perfect little Christmas story 🎄

Oh boy am I a sucker for these sorts of feel-good romances. Light, witty, and as dreamy as you could hope a story this short to be, it's a fantastic read for the holidays!
I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a quick Christmas read.

This is a minuscule European monarchy with a princess lost in America trope. However, these stories don’t usually have such a realistic and compassionate princess to write about. This is a 3.5 star fluffy holiday read.
