This book was adorable. Very fun read and I couldn't put it down. I would definitely read more books by this author.

Teri Wilson brings us to Once Upon A Time and Princess Sweet Pea. We actually meet Lacey Pope who is princess royalty at the theme park in Florida. Crown Prince Henry of Bella-Moritz and his daughter Rose take a birthday vacation to America before the Royal Flower Festival where she will have to ride in the royal procession also known as her royal debut. Prince Henry and Rose get to the theme park early and get to experience it incognito. But once their identities are revealed, Lacey must escort them around the park during their stay. The longer they are in each other's company, the more their feelings for each other grow. Will they allow them to act upon those feelings, or will duty get in their way?
Teri Wilson brings us a story that just makes you feel good. You root for these two characters to have their happily ever after. You follow along with them as they get to know each other.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for this privilege.

I love a good Cinderella story. This book did not disappoint. This book will pull on your childhood heart.
This book will make you believe anything is possible - as long as you believe.
The story was predictable but it still made you believe in fairytales and fairy godmothers. It was a magical and enchanting read.
This book will make you believe that one day you could meet your prince in the most unlikely places no matter who you are.
I am a fan of this authors work and this book was a five tiara read for me.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book for an honest review.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If there's one thing I love in this world, it's a good royal romance. And this one delivers.
Lacey is a princess...at a theme park. And she loves her job. Just not the skeptical dad she happened upon one day at her castle. Only Henry is no ordinary dad, but the crown prince of a European country who wanted to give his daughter a birthday to remember.
This is a fascinating romance that I loved and I know others who enjoy royal romances will love.
This book is appropriate for all ages.

Even though 'Once Upon A Royal Summer' is highly improbable, I believed. There is such charm and kindness in the characters. The backstories are believable and I felt good having read it. Kudos to Teri Wilson for a cheerful, bright addition to a sometimes dreary world in which we are now living. I highly recommend this wonderful book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Lacey is a Princess. Well not *that* kind of Princess. She plays Princess Sweet Pea at Once Upon A Time theme park. She loves her job, especially bringing joy to little girls.
Henry is a Prince. A real one. When he takes his daughter Princess Rose to the theme park for her 7th birthday his park crosses with Princess Sweet Pea.
Soon Lacey is the VIP leader of Henry and Rose and the more time the spend together the closer Lacey may get to becoming a real Princess.
I love all of Teri Wilson’s books. This one was sweet, funny and all sorts of romantic. I was lost in this story from page one and would read it again in a heart beat. Since it is from @hallmarkpublish I’m hopeful we’ll see it on our screens soon!

I have been a huge fan of Teri Wilson’s writing for years, ever since reading Unleashing Mr. Darcy. I love her ability to take on retellings. In Once Upon A Royal Summer, Lacey plays a princess at a theme park everyday but it’s not until she meets Henry, the crown prince of Bella-Mortiz and his adorable daughter, that she truly believes she has met her very own Prince Charming.
This book has Hallmark written all over it which makes sense as it is published by Hallmark Publishing. It takes the Cinderella story and gives it a modern timeline and twist. I loved it in all of it’s cheesy, romantic glory! Thank you Netgalley and Hallmark Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A sweet, fun contemporary romance that never loses its sparkle! I enjoyed every page of Once Upon A Royal Summer. It’s a great beach or summer read. Heroine Lacey Pope is Princess Sweet Pea at the Once Upon a Time amusement park in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Lacey is swept up in her own fairytale when a visiting VIP, Royal Crown Prince Henry and his darling daughter, Princess Rose, visit the theme park on a special vacation for Rose’s 6th birthday. Sweet scene after sweet scene kept me turning pages swiftly and the almost instant attraction that zinged between Henry and Lacey was so romantic. When Lacey visits Rose and Henry at the Royal Palace on the French Riviera, all their dreams come true. A delightful story!
I honestly reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing. All opinions are my own. Thank you.

Absolutely adored this book, so sweet and very readable. Imagine a Hallmark movie but in book form.
A lighthearted and clean book, you can easily read this in a few hours but despite the easy-read feel I was intrigued enough to find out what happens next. I particularly enjoyed the detail the author went into regarding the theme park and life working there, I thought that was very cute and it was clear they had done their research!
Thanks to Netgallery for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

A lighthearted novel with a dose of sweetness. Easy, fun to read page-turner that will have you wanting more.

This is a sweet clean lighthearted book. It was a fun read that will keep you turning the pages. This story was absolutely delightful!
Thank you Hallmark Publishing Via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book was so much fun to read! I definitely felt an emotional connection to the main character Lacey, and found myself wondering how I’d handle the situations! Loved the lightheartedness of it!

Enchanting. That's what I thought about Once Upon A Royal Summer. A Hallmark novel, written by Teri Wilson.
Lacey lives her dream job as Princess Sweet Pea at a Florida fairy tale theme park. During one of her tea parties at Ever After Castle she meets a single dad that turns out to be a real Prince.
Henry, crown prince of Bella-Moritz, takes his young daughter on a trip to Florida to fulfill her birthday wish. Seven year old Rose has had a hard time and appears to still be grieving the loss of her mother. Henry, a widower, plans this trip to the theme park, trying to fit in as normal tourists.
This story is sweet and funny, with a touch of romance. By the near end of the book, I was rooting for Lacey. All the characters were charming. I have really enjoyed reading the Hallmark books. Terri Wilson has a beautiful way of engaging the reader into her story. I could envision someone like Fiona Gubelmann or Jessy Schram playing Lacey in this Hallmark movie.

This book is as sweet and magical as a trip to your favorite theme park.
Lacey Pope is a theme park princess who loves her job. When a father and his adorable daughter book an entire table to themselves for her Royal Tea Party, Lacey notices but thinks nothing of it. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that father is an actual prince!
This story is filled with cotton candy, glittery sparkles, and the sweetness of falling in love. Readers looking for a whimsical, happy, escape will find it in the charming pages of this book.
Added bonus, the formatting by Hallmark Publishing is also adorable. New chapters are headed with a lovely royal crown graphic and shifts in perspective between Lacey and Prince Henry are marked by a bouquet of flowers.
This is a fast, charming, read that I really enjoyed.

Thank you NG and Hallmark Publishing for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.
Once Upon A Royal Summer was exactly the Hallmark romance I was hoping it would be. Delightful, cheesy, romantic, sugary-sweet-Exactly what you would expect from a Hallmark book. I loved it! A theme park “princess” and a real-life Prince Charming brought the fun and fairy tale mixed with the perfect amount of heart-warming realness.

A theme park “princess” and a real-life Prince Charming brought the fun and fairy tale mixed with the perfect amount of heart-warming realness. I can’t say enough how much I enjoy Royal romances and the Hallmark brand of happily ever after.

Author Teri Wilson has written an enchanting modern day fairy tale romance that will warm your heart! Lacey is the perfect theme park princess, Henry is the charming real life prince who brings his daughter Rose to America to celebrate her birthday. I loved getting to know all three of them in a story brimming with tenderness and love.

Once Upon a Royal Summer is such a CUTE book! Perfect for the beach when you want a light hearted hallmark chick lit feel. Loved it!

Delightful, cheesy, romantic, sugary-sweet-Exactly what you would expect from a Hallmark book. Once Upon a Royal Summer was a joy to read and surprisingly easy to get lost in!
I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

This was a really cute, really easy read. The concept is INCREDIBLE. As a Disney World fan (and someone who loves reading royalty romance), I adored that this started in a theme park, with familiar characters and a little pixie dust. It was so sweet that a real-life prince met a theme park princess. I smiled throughout the book. It was just the right amount of happy I needed.
I loved the hero. He was sensitive but not a complete wimp. His daughter was adorable. I really liked Lacey too (the heroine), but there were moments that I found her a little too... perfect. Her work with hummingbirds and butterflies seemed a little too convenient. I'd have loved to see more of that in her back story to make it make more sense.
