About this ebook
Adelaide Smith is too busy for fairy tales. She's been working hard to put herself through law school and now that the end is in sight, she's determined to stay focused on her goals. Then she receives a letter notifying her that she has been found through a DNA registry to be a direct descendant of King Maximillian V, the ruler of a small Eastern European principality called Montovia. She's understandably skeptical. This is the stuff of cheesy made-for-TV movies, not real life.
Although the pieces of this surprising family puzzle seem too good to be true, curiosity gets the best of her. At the king's invitation, Adelaide embarks on a Christmas break trip that is chock-full of surprises, including a charming village, an opulent palace, family mysteries, royal jealousies, a handsome young member of Parliament--and the chance at a real fairy tale romance with a happily-ever-after ending.
Spend this Christmas with bestselling author Melody Carlson as she whisks you away to a royal holiday you'll never forget!

This beautiful fairytale like story completely charmed me. The story told in the point of view of Adelaide allows us to live the excitement of visiting Montovia through her eyes. What a delight to have a heroine who is smart, kind and has inner beauty. The imaginary country of Montovia was a beautiful setting with wonderful mountains, charming Christmas festivals and a picturesque castle. The story includes mystery, romance, and endearing characters. I was given a copy.

What a sweet story. Puts you in the Christmas Spirit for sure! Who wouldn't love to be a princess? I have enjoyed several of her Christmas stories before. This was a clean and sweet book with a little romance, some suspense and a cute story line. It was a very enjoyable novella that is a very nice Christmas read. I love the "Germanic" feel to the story being a German and knowing the language and customs. This was a fun and easy read.I rec.d a comp. copy of this book. All thoughts are mine
