A Princess for a few weeks …
The coming Christmas season isn’t looking great for April Gareaux. Her job is uninspiring, her engagement is off, and she has nowhere to live. Certainly her family would take her in, especially … Certainly her family would take her in, especially Leslie and Grady Roberts and their circle of friends who have become her extended family. But it’s time she stops relying on them.
Then comes an extraordinary offer – spend the holidays in Washington, D.C., with King Jozef of Bariavak as his possible long-lost granddaughter. Even more extraordinary is the man behind the offer and the one who will be beside her through the coming weeks, Hunter Pierce.
This is the last assignment Hunter would pick. Determination and grit have moved him beyond his past in Bariavak. Yet, here it is standing in front of him again, refusing to be ignored. … Just like his reactions to April. How can he fight what he’s feeling when they’re together all the time.
King Jozef has known tragedy in his life. Now, comes this lovely young woman bringing joy to his holidays. How can he resist dabbling in some royal matchmaking. Wouldn’t it be delightful if he could give April a Christmas gift she will never forget …

I was hooked from page one of this captivating novel and didn’t put it down until I was done! Great characters with witty dialogue, descriptive details to make the reader feel they are there and a Christmas holiday romance with a HEA ending are just a few of the reasons I’d recommend this book to others! I think you’ll like it!
This book was a fun read. From the mistaken heir to a kingdom to the conclusion and the friendships formed, it was entertaining and heartwarming.
Loved the whole series. Good Reads
Very original plot. Lots of characters need joy in their lives and a bit of fun is not bad either.
I loved this book and the characters. Its a Clever story with a unique & unexpected ending. Loved the way Hunter is so guarded and actually becomes April’s body guard. A very moving, passionate and romantic comedy with a clever twist.
What would a girl do to lighten an old mans dream during Christmas than to play the part of a long missing granddaughter? You make his dream come true. The real spirit of Christmas of truth, happiness and love beyond family is truly a gift.
Never knew where the next turn would be.
Unbelievably believable! Great story telling with an intricate plot.
A great story with wonderful characters! A thoroughly enjoyable read! Very entertaining! I loved this story!
I read this book in one setting.
Quite different than the typical Christmas romance. Highly enjoyable.
I can’t tell you the last time I laughed so hard, it is so easy to imagine the scenes as they develop. I would read from this author any time!
A well written royal romance.
April and Hunter’s story is a perfect Christmas read! Slow burn romance with plenty of witty characters.
Loved this book. Keeps you guessing. Has humour, and the characters are very well drawn
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel THE CHRISTMAS PRINCESS The Wedding Series Book 5 by Patricia McLinn and this review was given freely.
A mildly twisted transnational saga based on misunderstandings which features strong family bonds, drama,intrigue and moments of humor culminating in a happy ending and a hook for the sequel.
Special Agent Hunter Pierce convinces April Gareaux to pose as King Josef’s long lost granddaughter in a plot to get US air clearance but finds love and peace while uncovering secrets from his past.
Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
Refreshingly different storyline, well written.
A feel good book with interesting character development
Starts out interesting and gets more so as you go. It is HEA in a way, but not in another. Still, it all works out. Read the next book for more—also interesting and not predictable (at least it wasn’t for me.)
