so-soA cute, hallmark-esque book with some steamy love scenes and funny moments. I don‘t mind a bit of a cheesy/predictable story (especially for a holiday-themed romance), but I have a hard time sticking with a book that has cheesy dialogue between the characters - which is why this book is a so-so pick for me. Also, the book haphazardly switches POV in the middle of chapters and it was a bit confusing.
so-soEssentially a Hallmark movie in book form (which the characters themselves acknowledge frequently), but with some steamier bits thrown in for good measure. I always think I‘m going to enjoy fluffy, seasonal reads more than I actually do? But it was nice reading this (and dozing off intermittently) while sharing blankets with my doggos as a literal blizzard raged outside.
so-soI didn‘t enjoy this one as much as book 2. Leo just didn‘t have a personality . . . he was dull and flat. Book 2 is much better because Max is over the top.

#holidayromanacebingo - I already used royalty but that would be a good fit
When your 2yo decides to pick you a library book and nails it 😂
pickWhile this book resembles the format of your typical Hallmark movie, the delicious twists and turns of the story, the heated exchanges, and the down right laugh out loud moments is what makes it a must read.
pickA just fine Christmas Rom-com. This one does actually have some steam, which was delightful. Nothing new, but entertaining and the audiobook is well done. 3.5⭐️

pickA soft pick here, although that may be more me than the book. When I pick up a book that looks/sounds like a fluffy Christmas read, I'm not mentally prepared to be bombarded with "fucks" every other page. I liked the story and characters just fine, I just felt like the author was trying too hard to make Leo the "poor uneducated Bronx guy" with all the swearing. I get it, he's tough. A fine read, but not one that makes me want to pick up the ⬇️
pickEverything about this book is my catnip. A princess of a made-up Hallmark country falls in love with a salty New York cabbie! A Christmas ball! Banter! God bless. #romcom #christmasromance
pickA grown up Hallmark like Christmas romance that I can get behind 100%! This is what I've been looking for in Hallmark movies but could never find: realism. Marie and Leo are not cookie cutter characters and their problems are not trivial. Also, I was a bit unprepared for the rated R scenes between the hero and heroine but hey, it worked for me as I love romance scenes no matter the spice level. lol What a wonderful Christmas romance!❤️🎄❤️
pickIt‘s just like a sexy Hallmark movie. A regular guy and a real princess cross paths in NYC at Christmastime. I loved it!!

I didn't get any of my ARC read yesterday, so I'm making sure to get some reading done before bed tonight.
It's Christmas in August! I also started this book today. I'm 16% in and already charmed. #romantsy
