Soon to be Queen, Princess Adelaide, has gone rogue. At least her country thinks so. In reality, Addie needs time to decide if she should follow her heart or follow her country’s outdated expectations. Desperate to stay out of the public eye until she can figure out what to do, she takes a job as a pastry chef at a historic bed & breakfast in Holly Grove, Vermont. Only problem: she only knows … knows how to bake one thing. And worse, her ex-fiancé works across the street at the local coffee house. Suddenly hiding in plain sight is the least of her worries.
As a classically trained pastry chef, Lucas Bishop has studied all over the world and is about to launch his first cookbook. Before it hits the shelves, he needs every eatery in and around Holly Grove to sign off on an exclusivity clause–agreeing not to bake any of the featured recipes for at least a year. When he realizes his ex-fiancé is not only working at the B&B across the street, but has made his signature cookie–everything he’s worked for could go up in smoke.
Their close proximity is risky, but Addie devises a plan: if Lucas teachers her how to bake–while keeping her real life under wraps–she’ll make sure the B&B’s owner signs his much needed waiver. Old feelings resurface and she is forced to choose between serving her country or being a part of a life Lucas has built after their split. Ultimately they must decide where their loyalty lies–with their families or each other.

Royal Icing

Royal Icing is a cute, sweet, second chance romance book. Addie/Izzy is on a mission to find her one true love, Lucas, and is hiding from her family and papparazzi. She and Lucas were engaged, but she is in line to be Queen of her country, and they were unable to get the rules changed so she could marry a commoner, a pastry chef. That was 8 years ago, and she has never forgotten him or the love they had. Will he still be single? Will he still want to be with her? Will they find each other? You need to read this to find out. This would make an excellent Hallmark Christmas movie. Who doesn’t like reading about Royals? This book kept me enchanted and reading from the time I started until I was done, and I read it in one sitting. If you are looking for a sweet quick read, then give this one a chance. I look forward to reading more by this author. Oh and a book on what happens next with the characters from this book would be wonderful!!
Addie just wants to live her life the way that makes her happy and if that means risking it all than so be it. This book starts out with Addie having her wallet stolen and having to find a way to continue on her journey to find Lucas. What she doesn’t know is Lucas is in the town she is in now and her possibilities just became more likely to happen. This book was entertaining and well written and full of love and just so sweet and had an great ending to it. I will definitely read this author books and again and I hope anyone who wants to read this book to take the chance.

Royal Icing is a sweet, clean, second chance romance. You will root for Addie and Lucas to finally get the HEA that was taken from them many years before. Who knew being a royal and only allowed to marry another royal could be such a pain. Especially when the man you love is a pastry chef. “Marrying a first cousin? No problem. Marrying a pastry chef? That’s a national tragedy.”- Addie (location 611)
It’s an easy read with a sweet Christmas Eve HEA.
This was a super cute book! Ms. Proctor did a wonderful job with the storyline as well as the character’s chemistry.
This was a cute read and I enjoyed it very much.

I love second chance romance stories. This may be a short fast read but you will fall in love with the characters just like i did. A must read.

A super sweet, cute, second chance romance between and princess and a single dad pastry chef. A good Hallmark feeling read.
This was a sweet & quick-read holiday story. I loved the characters, town and the Happily Ever After ending too, of course.
If you need an uplifting second chance romance this is it. Addie and Jacob had to give up theirs love eight years ago. Today she’s back and ready to fight for the love she lost. Lucas may have moved forward but he never got over his love for Addie. This is a heart felt romance that is centered around Christmas!

This is a crazy, sweet, fun holiday romance. I love royal stories. This one is really a great one to get you in the holiday spirit.
