Review: A Princess for Christmas

 Review: A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday


From USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday comes a modern fairy tale just in time for Christmas about a tough New Yorker from the other side of the tracks who falls for a princess from the other side of the world.

Leo Ricci's already handling all he can, between taking care of his little sister Gabby, driving a cab, and being the super of his apartment building in the Bronx. But when Gabby spots a "princess" in a gown outside of the UN trying to hail a cab, she begs her brother to stop and help. Before he knows it, he's got a real-life damsel in distress in the backseat of his car. 

Princess Marie of Eldovia shouldn't be hailing a cab, or even be out and about. But after her mother’s death, her father has plunged into a devastating depression and the fate of her small Alpine country has fallen on Marie’s shoulders. She’s taken aback by the gruff but devastatingly handsome driver who shows her more kindness than she’s seen in a long time. 

When Marie asks Leo to be her driver for the rest of her trip, he agrees, thinking he’ll squire a rich miss around for a while and make more money than he has in months. He doesn’t expect to like and start longing for the unpredictable Marie. And when he and Gabby end up in Eldovia for Christmas, he discovers the princess who is all wrong for him is also the woman who is his perfect match.

Plot: The plot was really fun! Anytime royalty is mentioned in a summary, I know I have to add it to my TBR list. And I'm happy I did!

Characters: Marie and Leo were great main characters! I really, really liked all the side characters, too! (Also, I *think* I know who the next book will be about based on things that happen at the end of the story and if I'm right? I'm happy about who they are!)

The Cover: I love this cover!

Overall: This was such a fun read, that I really enjoyed! If you're looking for a fun book to read for the Christmas season this year, I would definitely recommend trying it!

I received an e-ARC of this book from the publisher.
