Christmas at the Castle (Ever After #3) by Melissa McClone

 

From Goodreads

A royal wedding. A meddlesome mother. An unexpected union.

A European getaway during the Christmas holiday is exactly what veterinarian Katrina “Kat” Parsons needs. She can’t wait to be a bridesmaid in her childhood friend’s royal wedding, but she hopes to steer clear of the bride’s arrogant older brother.

Crown Prince Guillaume wants his younger sister’s wedding day to be perfect, but he’s suspicious of Kat. He and his mother are on high alert, afraid Kat is not just there for the wedding, but also to find a prince of her own.

But when Kat’s kindness and generosity prove them wrong, the prince realizes there’s more to her than he ever imagined. Can he trust his heart or will he lose the one woman he can’t live without?

My thoughts

Telling the story of Katrina 'Kat' as she travels to be with her friend Sophie as she is preparing to marry.  Kat hopes to keep as far away from Sophie's older brother Guillaume 'Gill' as she can.  GIll has an arrogance around him that Kat plans not to get caught up in, that has worsened as he has got older.

Gill wants everything to be perfect for his younger sister on her wedding day, but he has doubts surrounding Kat, he doesn't know if she is genuine in her intentions towards them all.  This doubt his heightened by his interfering mother the Queen of Alistonia,  What I have neglected to tell you is that Gill and Sophie are no run of  the mill brother and sister, they are born into royalty.

Will Gill be able to keep things perfect for his younger sister Sophie or will Kat get in the way, in one way or another?  

This was a free book via Amazon and I will look out for more by this author.  This was an enjoyable romance that was pure escapism.  What's not to love about a fairytale style sort of romance?  This story hit that bill nicely.  I enjoyed my limited time in Alistonia and I had to keep reading to find out how Kat enjoyed her time in Alistonia with the royal family that she found herself surrounded by and the inimitable Gill and his preconceptions.
