When a struggling journalist meets a runaway princess, will it be the story of the century or the love of a lifetime? Jordan is an American journalist living in London, but when her newspaper is sold to an infamous tabloid king, she has one week to produce a tell-all story of the century or she’s out of a job, and out of the country. Then a runaway princess nearly falls into her lap. It seems … her lap. It seems like the answer to her prayers, but how can she write an exposé on a woman she’s falling in love with?
Abby was a typical California girl, until a twist of fate turned her into Princess Abigail, the heir to the throne of her father’s kingdom. When presented with an opportunity to escape her royal duties for a night out on the town while on an official state visit to London, she seizes the chance. But when she’s rescued by the woman of her dreams, she begins to doubt that she can ever return to royal life again.
As they have a madcap adventure exploring London together, both Jordan and Abby suspect they may have found their perfect match, but if the secrets they are hiding are exposed, will their relationship survive?

This, as are all of Miranda MacLeod’s books, was a fantastic read. The characters are refreshing and interesting, and the plot and action are mesmerizing.
This story was an adventure through the city of London. I’m hoping to travel there someday, so reading this story gave me ideas on what to see while there! The main characters are cute together and the way they both try to hide their identities is a good addition to the story. I don’t think I would make a good princess. So I felt bad for Abby and her wanting to be free of her duties. I was happy to find Jordan had a heart and ended up being the good person Abby thought she was. Overall, I enjoyed Miranda’s story of love in London! It was a quick enjoyable ride through London!
I’ve read several of MacLeod’s books and enjoyed them all. This one, however, just might be one of my favorites. The story was just plain fun! One of MacLeod’s greatest strengths is her ability to write her characters into situations that make you laugh out loud. You can not help but enjoy their antics! Her stories are just a joy ride of fun! I highly recommend book!
This is truly another wonderful story from Ms. MacLeod’s Americans Abroad series. Her protagonists, Jordan, an investigative journalist, and Abby, the princess, take us on a madcap adventure and tour of London. Their dialogue is charming and attraction undeniable. Miranda’s full descriptions of the sites made me feel like I was traveling with them. But underneath all the fun was a tale of what is really important in life. Can a person sell a sensational story for big bucks at the expense of someone you love and admire? This is a well crafted story which I really enjoyed. Kudos, Miranda!
I found myself having a difficult time getting invested in this story than with any other books I have read by MacLeod. So, I decided to take it a chapter at a time and see where it went. Yep, glad I did. I was rewarded with a story that made me laugh, made me roll my eyes at the precarious situations in which Jordan and Abby found themselves and at times wanting to give them each a kick-start. London Holiday is a light-hearted romantic comedy for a day when you can put your feet up, have a glass of wine (or in my case, a hearty Guinness Extra Stout) and get ready to enjoy a few laughs. And who wouldn’t want to date or marry a Princess!
London Holiday was the latest book in Miranda MacLeod’s Americans Abroad Series and it was just as entertaining as the others. The characters, an investigative reporter and a princess, each had to deal with realistic problems such as job stability and pressure. They also had to deal with their own personal conscientious beliefs surrounding those jobs and how it affected those they loved.
Since the story took place in London, Jordon took Abby to many of its famous historical sites such as The Tower of London and Churchill’s Cabinet War Rooms. The writing was very descriptive and engaging… insomuch that I felt I was actually on the tour with them.
Overall, this was a fast paced read and highly recommended!
