Happy Saturday! I hope all of you are having a lovely fall Saturday. If you are looking for Halloween cozy mysteries to read (to get in the mood), I have found a list for you. Just click here. I would like to suggest Krista Davis' Murder Most Howl and The Ghost and Mrs. Mewer as well as Laura Child's Gossamer Ghost.
A Royal Christmas Wedding by
Rachel Hauck is the fourth book in the Royal Wedding series. Avery Truitt as well as her mother, Glo are
dealing with the loss of her father in St. Simons Island, Georgia. Susanna, her sister, invites them to spend
Christmas in Brighton Kingdom where she lives with her husband, King Nathaniel
III. Glo is glad to get away from the
memories and is excited to see Susanna (she is pregnant). Avery is not as excited. It has been five years since she has seen
Prince Colin Tattersall. They were in
love with each other, but Colin broke off their relationship very suddenly (and
without a decent explanation). Avery has
tried to get over him, but how do you forget your one true love.
There is a special tradition in
Brighton Kingdom that has not been observed in 182 years. At the end of the Harvest Celebration, just after
the last bell rings at midnight, a man in love can ring the Pembroke Chapel
Bell. He is announcing his intention to
woo and marry a woman on Christmas morning.
Colin has been following the path his father set out for him for the last
five years. But he is still in love with
Avery. He is in the bell tower just
before midnight and says a prayer. The
Pembroke Bell then rings by itself. This
is the sign Colin needed, and he sets out to win Avery. But Avery does not wish to come between Colin
and his father. Will there be a happily
ever after this Christmas for these two love birds?
A Royal Christmas Wedding is a sweet,
predictable romance novel. I did not
know this book was part of a series when I decided to read it (discovered it
after I started reading the novel). It
did not hinder my reading enjoyment. A Royal Christmas Wedding can be read alone.
The author provides the reader with the information they need to
understand and enjoy the story. The
novel is nicely written, has engaging characters, good historical element,
steamy romance, and has a nice Christian element. I give A Royal Christmas Wedding 4 out of 5
stars (I have to admit that I liked it).
The epilogue wraps up the series with a bow. The other novels in the Royal Wedding series are Once Upon a Prince, Princess Ever After, and How to Catch a Prince.
Thank you for stopping by! I am off to eat dinner and watch the new Hallmark Christmas movie. I know it is Halloween season, but I cannot resist Christmas movies! May all of you have a wonderful evening, and I will see you tomorrow. Take care and Happy Reading!
