A Princess for Christmas
Book Feature - A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday
HBL Note: Christmas in October? Apparently, this is when the holiday books start coming out because this is the first of THREE holiday-themed books I’ll be featuring this week…and I am here. for. it. The holidays are going to be different this year as we continue to struggle with COVID. So I am turning to some of my favorite things in full force this holiday season, and that includes holiday novels with happy endings. A Princess for Christmas is about a tough New York cab driver who falls for an unpredictable princess in distress. Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
Leo Ricci's already handling all he can, between taking care of his little sister Gabby, driving a cab, and being the super of his apartment building in the Bronx. But when Gabby spots a "princess" in a gown outside of the UN trying to hail a cab, she begs her brother to stop and help. Before he knows it, he's got a real-life damsel in distress in the backseat of his car.
Princess Marie of Eldovia shouldn't be hailing a cab, or even be out and about. But after her mother’s death, her father has plunged into a devastating depression and the fate of her small Alpine country has fallen on Marie’s shoulders. She’s taken aback by the gruff but devastatingly handsome driver who shows her more kindness than she’s seen in a long time.
When Marie asks Leo to be her driver for the rest of her trip, he agrees, thinking he’ll squire a rich miss around for a while and make more money than he has in months. He doesn’t expect to like and start longing for the unpredictable Marie. And when he and Gabby end up in Eldovia for Christmas, he discovers the princess who is all wrong for him is also the woman who is his perfect match.
