A ROYAL CHRISTMAS – Melody Carlson

“A Royal Christmas” was something that Adelaide never imagined, not even in her faintest dreams. It was absolutely unbelievable, too far-fetched to believe, by any standards or by any stretch of the imagination. I like the character development in this novel. Adelaide’s character is very well developed and matches the fast pace of the book.
