Once Upon a Royal Christmas was the perfect book to read this holiday season. It had all of the Hallmark Christmas movie vibes and was right up my alley. I adored the storyline and loved watching Gracie and Nick’s “royal” romance unfold. I highly recommend this one if you love sweet, happily-ever-after romance! This one will not disappoint! I was the perfect Christmas read but it would be great any time of the year.
Thank you, Hallmark Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

“I’m Prince Nikolas of San Glacera. Oh, you’ve never heard of us? Well, you’re not the only one. Our country relies on winter tourism, but we’re attracting fewer and fewer visitors. I admit it’s a problem. I just don’t think the solution is an American who likes to play dress-up.
You see, while I was away on a trip to honor our military, the palace talked my family into holding a contest. The winner gets to play a character in our annual Ice Village festivities and accompany our royal family to holiday events.
And did they at least choose an accomplished actor? Hardly. This woman, Gracie Clark, runs a children’s party business and performs as—I kid you not—‘Princess Snowflake.’
Of course, I do respect the fact that she volunteers at children’s hospitals. I suppose to some, she might have a certain charm… But the whole cheap spectacle is beneath our dignity.
I’m not going to shirk my duty to my kingdom. I’ll go to every event with her. At least, once Christmas is over, she’ll be gone…”
