A ROYAL CHRISTMAS

ABOUT THE BOOK

Adelaide Smith is too busy for fairy tales. She’s been working hard to put herself through law school and now that the end is in sight, she’s determined to stay focused on her goals. Then she receives a letter notifying her that she has been found through a DNA registry to be a direct descendant of King Maximillian V, the ruler of a small Eastern European principality called Montovia. She’s understandably skeptical. This is the stuff of cheesy made-for-TV movies, not real life.

Although the pieces of this surprising family puzzle seem too good to be true, curiosity gets the best of her. At the king’s invitation, Adelaide embarks on a Christmas break trip that is chock-full of surprises, including a charming village, an opulent palace, family mysteries, royal jealousies, a handsome young member of Parliament–and the chance at a real fairy tale romance with a happily-ever-after ending.

Spend this Christmas with bestselling author Melody Carlson as she whisks you away to a royal holiday you’ll never forget!

MY THOUGHTS

The book was enjoyable and can be read in a sitting.

The book is about a lady who had lost her mum and was bearing getting through the loss when a mysterious letter was dropped at her doorstep.

The settings of the book was absolutely amazing. It is something I want to experience.

I loved the strenght of Adelaide. Her will power was very inspiring despite all she had been through. Her dedication and loyalty to those she loved was so adorable and admirable.

I love how the author illustrated taking our inability to solve our obstacles on our own to God in prayers. It was indeed beautiful and inspiring.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

Favorite Verse: John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

It’s the “whosoever” part that gets me. That’s who I write for – “whosoever” and to me that means everyone and anyone.
