When Sophie decides to take her young niece to her favorite place (Disney World) over Christmas, she is not happy. Growing up with her parents and sister being fanatics over anything Disney, she has learned to despise it instead. Her negative boyfriend doesn't help, and so her attitude is set before she gets there. At the hotel, she meets handsome Professor Disney, who runs a blog showing all the best places and things to do. The three of them spend a wonderful week together, until Christmas eve, when her boyfriend shows up. By this time of course there is attraction developing. Good story, and while fast it still felt complete. Just wish she didn't waste so much time with Darren, her boyfriend, as he never really fit in the story. Highly recommend, and a fun holiday story.

If you love Disney, if you’re planning a trip to Disney, or if you just got home from Disney, you will probably love this book.

If you haven’t, you’ll probably find it cute and think that someone who’d just been to Disney might appreciate it more.

I haven’t been to Disney since I was a kid and I think the reason this book appealed to me is because my family recently traveled there.
It’s just filled with references of all the best things to see, do, and eat in Disney.

I thought the storyline was cute. Sophie comes from a family of Disney fanatics. She never wanted to go back as an adult. But her niece only wants one thing for Christmas, to go to Disney and ride her mom’s favorite ride on Christmas Day.

And because Sophie’s brother in law works so much, she is the only one who can be there for the entire Disney trip.
Everyone else plans to fly in a few days later.
Not long into the trip, Sophie meets Ray. He’s so into Disney that he’s known as Professor Disney and writes a Disney blog. Talk about the perfect person to show her and her niece Ariel the real Disney.

Sophie finds herself having more fun at Disney than she ever did as a kid. And she’s starting to feel less excited about her boyfriend’s arrival.

I got to read an early e book edition from NetGalley and I am recommending this to my friends and family who have recently made Disney trips.

Once Upon a Romance by Alex Bailey. BooksGoSocial, 2018.

Once Upon a Romance is a light romance that touches on grief, relationships and the importance of family. It is an easy, pleasant read and a lovely walk down memory lane for those with fond memories of Disney World and will be especially appealing to anyone planning to visit Disney World.

Disclosure: I received a review copy of Once Upon a Romance free via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A romance featuring Disney World? Yep, definitely want to read it! We meet Sophie, who isn't a Disney fan at all (what is wrong with her???). But her niece Ariel has one wish for Christmas this year: to go to Disney and to go to her mother's favorite ride. Because Natalie (Sophie's sister) died this year.
So Sophie relents and offers to take Ariel to Disney. Ariel's father and grandparents will meet her there. One tiny problem: she has to tell Darren, her fiance, that they have to shorten their ski trip.
While Sophie is in Disney, she meets Ray, a.k.a. Professor Disney. He is a diehard Disney fan and he shows Ariel and Sophie around. It is all magical and heartwarming, right up until Darren arrives. Will Sophie be enchanted by the Disney magic? Or will she go skiing?
Find out for yourself in this wonderful Christmas story. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

This is a nice little story, mostly concerned with the Christmas wish of a little girl whose mother had passed away.
Ariel is a huge Disney fan and is desperate to visit Disney world and go on her late mother's favourite ride. Her aunt, Sophie, takes her, but unwillingly as it brings back so many memories of her late sister. Sopihe is definitely anti all things Disney.
However, through the auspices of a certain Professor Disney, things begin to change.
It is a light little tale which is enjoyable.
Thanks to NetGalley for a review copy.
