Good Morning Sweet Friends:)

It's officially the time of the year for Christmas book reviews, and I'm excited to get to share with you all my review today of a title that had been on my TBR list ever since it's release back in 2019.

I hope you'll all keep reading down below, and join me for today's full review.

My Review:

I've been wanting to read Royally Yours ever since it was first released in 2019, and this Christmas season I finally got around to doing so. This collection sounded wonderful, and since I've enjoyed stories by each of these four authors in the past, it was one that I found myself highly anticipating. If I'm being honest, I'm also usually all about stories where the "famous or royal person falls for the regular person" trope is employed, so this collection definitely had high expectations to fulfill in my eyes.

This collection as a whole ended up being a treat for any fans of sweet romance, as each story was wonderful, idyllic, and original from all the others. I personally ended up enjoying Melissa Tagg's and Ashley Clark's the most, but there were definitely things to love about each one. Heartwarming romances where our protagonists also have to consider how following their hearts could cause problems for the monarchies they've sworn to protect.

The setting itself was idyllic and sounded like the perfect place to spend the Christmas season. Tinsel's mayor was a hoot, and I loved the idea of a community that bans all forms of paparazzi in order to give famous clientele a place to have a true break from the limelight.

All in all, this was a sweet collection that I'd highly recommend for anyone who enjoys sweet romance and/or clean Christmas romances. However, I was a little disappointed that the faith content was highly downplayed as that was definitely not what I was expecting when I chose to pick up a collection from four inspirational authors.

I know that this trend is becoming more and more common within traditional Christian publishing, and I hope this isn't a sign that it's also going to start becoming more common with indie published Christian fiction as well.

Final Rating: 4/5

I didn't care for Betsy St. Amant's story quite as much as I expected to, and the lack of a faith element was disappointing.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time.
