This book was ADORABLE! I really, really enjoyed reading it! It was whimsical, romantic, and compelling!

What an enchanting, magical book
This book is fun, light, and has wonderful characters you will connect with
I simply could not stop reading this book, I just wanted to see what would happen next. The book has enough little twists and turns that even if you can guess where you’ll end up, you still want to take the ride. Gracie is a pretend princess and part owner of Perfect Party Princesses and she needs money to expand her business but no one wants to give her a loan. So, when the kingdom of San Glacera announces a contest to pick a someone to come to their Christmas Festival and part of the package is thirty thousand dollars, Gracie’s partner Clara enters her in the competition. And as Clara predicted, Gracie is chosen and ask to come as her pretend character Princess Snowflake. But things aren’t as rosy as they might seem. Nick, the real prince who she is supposed to spend is time with has a reputation of being cold and distant. But Christmas is the time of miracles perhaps there can be hope for all. I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

This was such a feel good wintery Christmas book. I'm kinda upset I read it in the middle of a hot Arizona summer because it would have been so great to read cuddled under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa. The storyline goes like all Hallmark type Christmas stories but the characters are cute and there are puppies!

This story was everything I’ve come to expect from a Teri Wilson book. It was just utter saccharine, Hallmark movie, Christmas gold. Of course, there were times where the story felt predictable or unbelievable, but it was overall just so precious I couldn’t fault it. This was a super quick and easy read (I finished it in less than 24 hours), and it was just so SWEET. Completely low angst…it made me smile.

I was given an ARC by NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing. All opinions are my own.

Quick Summary: A fairy tale to forever romance

My Review: Once Upon A Royal Christmas was a sugary sweet love story that completely enchanted me. Princess Snowflake and Prince Nick were magical together. From their meet cute to their snowball fight to their Christmas Eve performance, they were delightful.

My Final Say: This wonderful story will appeal to those who enjoy romances between royals and commoners. It is a charming love story that is totally befitting of the Hallmark brand.

A light-hearted and adorable cozy Christmas read! A party princess finds herself in a small European country with her best friend over the holidays. She accidentally bumps into the crown prince in their meet-cute, but thinks he is a 'fake prince' similar to her role...and things get fun from there. This one will make a great, let-your-hair-down holiday movie!

When I think of romance, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels and satisfies every romance junkies' heart. This is a perfect books to snuggle up with on any day. This one took by surprise!.

If you love sappy love stories, than this book is definitely for you.
You don't even have to tell me that this is a Hallmark published book, I felt it in every line that's written and loved it.

If there's just one Christmas book you want to read to get that fuzzy and warm holiday feeling,then read this one. And afterwards treat yourself to a hot chocolate, just like Royals do in the book. 😉

I love hallmark movies, especially ones about Christmas and royals. So, this book was perfect.

From the very beginning I was intrigued and wanted to know more.

I love that there wasn't the cliche storyline of the parents not approving or there being another love interest that gets in the way.

It was really refreshing to read this story.

This was a super cute fun Christmas romance. I enjoyed reading it and would enjoy the Hallmark movie made from it.

Loved this book! This is a festive and sweet story that is a Hallmark movie in book form. I loved the characters and adored Princess Snowflake. It's impossible not have a smile on your face while reading this novel - it's such a feel good story with a bit of sparkle and glitz.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. It's a clean story that your teen can enjoy, yet engaging enough to keep this grandma happy and entertained. I recommend this for all fans of romance.

Once Upon A Royal Christmas by Teri Wilson is a sweet, charming, warm, and festive contemporary romance that I really enjoyed.

I have been a fan of Ms. Wilson for some time now, and I love her ability to craft a timeless, beautiful, warm, and feel-good romance. I also enjoy a simple, enjoyable, and traditional HEA, and this definitely fits the bill.

Gracie and Nick were adorable and were exactly what the other needed at this time in their lives. I enjoyed seeing their relationship and love bloom.

I liked the nice balance between tradition and contemporary concepts and of course I liked the “royal” aspect to it as well…I cam definitely see this as a Hallmark movie during the Christmas season. It was cute, entertaining, light, and cozy.
