A delightful long-lost princess romance.
It was well written and pleasant but did not really impress me. I am not planning to read more of Scarlett Wilson's books (just because of personal preference on the writing style), but I was fairly pleased with this one. FYI, there is no sex in this one, just kissing.
The principality country in this novella sounds like Monico, which is the proper choice for a story like this. The story setup was fairly reasonable, so I quickly accepted the idea. Holly and Felix, the pair of main characters, were very likeable and warm-hearted to people around them. Felix and Holly were from different backgrounds, but they had a lot and in common as well. It is always nice when a good lady goes from rags to riches and gets a new wardrobe. It was really nice how respectful Felix was to all women. I like Holly's adorable dog, too. The descriptions of Christmas decorations in the kingdom were very nice, and they got me into the Christmas spirit.
There are a couple of enemies who were against Holly's presence in the country and opposed her taking up the princess position. These two antagonists are too one-dimensional and stereotypical, and I wish that they were more interesting and well rounded.
There is a little bit of angst in this story but it is light. The old prince, Holly's biological father, does have a terminal illness, but he has a good outlook on life. Holly also has financial trouble, and her adoptive mother died recently.
I recommend this to fans of Hallmark Christmas movies.
I received a free copy from Netgalley, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

I am a big fan of Scarlett's books but I couldn't get into this one but I will still buy her books in the future if I find that they are ones that will take my fancy.
