Once upon a royal summer is a feel-good romance that, overall, delivers on its promise of a sweet, heartwarming love story with a whimsical royal touch.

Of course, it is cliché and unrealistic, but it is right in the current trend of fairytale royal fantasies that’s been floating in the air in the past few years, now that the British royal family is popular again. I was only confused about the mention of a « queen » next to the word « principality », but it is a mere technicality.

The author does offer a lovely royal chick lit that would surely make a cute Hallmark movie. A delicious cheesy treat if you’re looking for an easy, fun read on the beach this summer!

Three Goodreads stars: Liked it!

4.5 stars

I am a big sucker for the prince falling in love with the commoner trope so naturally, when I saw this book I knew immediately that I had to read it. Once Upon A Royal Summer by Teri Wilson has all the wonderful things I have come to expect from a Hallmark book or movie: lovable characters, a sweet romance, and a big emphasis on friendship, family, and community. Lacey and Henry were likable and relatable characters and their journey to a happy ending was a lot of fun to read about. My only complaint is that it went by way too quickly. Highly recommend this sweet cozy romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This was a very cute read, It was light hearted and I absolutely flew through it. It was a bit predictable but other than that, I would highly recommend this book.

This book was exactly what I wanted to read. Once Upon a Royal Summer is a hallmark book written, and it was just like a hallmark movie. It was super sweet and cute, and I loved the romance.
Lacey was such a sweet character. She loved her job and the people she interacted with. I loved Lacey from the beginning. She was kind, and she was funny. I liked how she was grounded and how she cared for people. It was so fun to see her interacting with Rose and Henry. She did have her faults and she never felt like she would really be enough for Henry.
Ohh I felt so bad for Henry, he was lonely and he didn't know how to raise his daughter. He wanted Rose to have a good life, but he was struggling to figure out how to let her be a kid while still preparing her for the life ahead of her. He was more shy but he really cared for Rose and it was super sweet to read about him falling for Lacey.
Henry and Lacey had such a fun and cute romance. I liked reading about them falling in love and getting to know each other. They met at the theme park and as they spent more time together, they began wishing for more. Henry’s daughter was super sweet and she loved Lacey from the beginning. Books with children are often so much fun! However will Lacey be able to endure the life of a royal or is she meant to stay at the theme park for life?
Once Upon a Royal Summer was a clean contemporary read! It was just what I expected and I loved it! I would recommend this is you are looking for a light clean read.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.

Once Upon a Royal Summer by Teri Wilson was a great romance. I loved the story about a princess theme park. Reminds me of what I think Disney World would be like. I loved visiting the theme park and Bella Moritz where the prince lives.

Once Upon A Royal Summer is a Hallmark movie on a page. Sweet, wholesome, a bit predictable, and maybe a little cheesy but cozy and very satisfying.

This was absolutely delightful from start to finish! The plot was well-paced and captivating. The characters were completely charming. I adored this fun and quick read and highly recommend it! Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

I received this book for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

Hallmark never seems to disappoint with its published books. Heartwarming and interesting!

This was a delightful read! It's the kind of book you want to curl up with your favourite snacks and drinks and read on a miserable day because it is filled with sunshine. The characters are all likeable and while the ending is predictable, it's a lovely journey to get there. Just what you'd expect from a Hallmark movie.

This is a clean read and a standalone book. I got it given to me in exchange for an honest review. It's easy to be positive about it because it was a nice book to escape into.

Good book if this is the kind of book you're looking for. Its not really my cup of tea lol but this book was adorable, cute, sweet, and a light feel good read! I do like a little more grit to my books but I figured I'd give it a try?! It was very good like I said for this type of G rated book! The storyline was very cute! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

A sweet, light novel just like a Hallmark movie. Bit implausible (okay....more than a bit), but still a cute, fun read.

My first Hallmark book! And amazingly it was great!
I devoured this royal novel!.
Good, quick read, full if amazing characters, great writing! I was surprisingly impressed.

This is a delightful book that made me smile throughout it. It's charming and sweet in all the best ways. Lacey is a theme park princess who meets Rose, a real princess, and her father, Henry, a very charming real prince.

Truly, I don't think this book could have been more contrived or unrealistic, but that just made me love it more. It's over the top, but the perfect escape from real life. This grandmother thoroughly enjoyed every page in this book, but you could feel safe letting your teen read it.

This novel is a delicious and sweet treat - like the best Hallmark movie in book form. If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. Put this at the top of your TBR list. While this is the first book I've read by this author, it won't be the last.

After I finished reading this book, I noticed that it is published by Hallmark Publishing. It makes complete sense as I could totally see this being a hallmark movie.
It is cliche, unrealistic, and cheesy all in the best of ways. It is a sweet, light hearted beach read. There are no risqué scenes and if this was a movie, it would be rated PG.
I would read this again. 4/5 stars.
