Title: His Christmas Princess (Princess Brides #2)

Author: Kathleen O’Brien

Publisher: Tule 2017

Genre: Romance

Pages: 181

Rating: 5/5 stars

Reading Challenges: 

Willow Arden adores her life as the coronation planner in the Vicenza palace. The tiny island kingdom is the perfect place to raise her baby daughter. But when Emory, the sexy heir to the throne and her almost lover, comes home after a year-long hiatus, her perfect life is shaken to its core.

Emory's spent his whole life putting Vicenza's interests over his own. After taking a year off to live the kind of life he always wanted, he's returned and he's committed to the throne.

But when Willow and Emory meet again, the attraction between them ignites, as white-hot and hopeless as ever. Emory can't betray his commitments, and Willow must protect her heart at all costs. One way or another, one of them will lose everything.

The sequel to His Defiant Princess was so much better. I immediately fell for both Emory and Willow in the first story and couldn’t wait to read their romance in the second. These two are much more interesting and multi-dimensional adults with real problems and obstacles. Brenna and Ronan got in their own ways toward romance. Willow and Emory have to deal with actual obstacles and responsibilities. I loved it! I was rooting for them throughout the book, but really wanted them to have those tough conversations being moving forward. Thankfully we get some of those. A delightful little read for this week.

Genre: Romance

Pages: 166

Rating: 4/5 stars

Reading Challenges: 

Brenna Tinley has decided to move to the Unified Isles of Cornetta, a fairy-tale kingdom just south of France in the Bay of Biscay to escape the recent tragedies in her personal life. The happiest summer she can remember was spent there, in the arms of a handsome, tender rascal who disappeared without a goodbye when Autumn came…

As fate would have it, the Royal House of Vicenza has engaged Brenna Tinley to clear up a public relations mess. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for this small-town American girl, but there’s only one problem. Her new employer, HRH Prince Ronan, aka her mystery summer lover of long ago, seems determined to pick up where they left off. Can Brenna work in the royal palace and not end up with a brand new broken heart?

Short and sweet novella. I really enjoyed the romance between Brenna and Ronan, but I almost wish we could have gotten more of their backstory. I would have read another 100 pages fleshing out their summer years back. As it is, we get a quick rekindling of the romance in a fictional monarchy off the coast of France. Cute little story for an afternoon’s reading.
