I really looked forward to reading a holiday romance this Christmas.🎄
American Vivian and British Malcolm are grown set-in-their-ways adults, which was refreshing. Their time together at the royal cottage was charming, with notes being delivered to each other, and a kiss under the mistletoe 😘. When they were alone in London, it's like the holiday spell was broken, and reality set in. They each had their own troubling things on their minds, causing distraction - which is life, isn't it? I appreciated that realism made it's way into this romance.
There was a wee bit of steam 🍆, lots of scones 😁, and oddly, few details.I would have liked more description overall, for example on the Nigerian dinner they had. (I want to know exactly what they ate!)Royal Holiday was a sweet, relaxing beach read that took me to London for Christmas.I received Royal Holiday in a Goodreads giveaway.
Until next time,
Kara
