I received a copy of this book from Berkley and Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review. Find Royal Holiday on Amazon (publishing on October 1st).Overall, this is definitely a sweet romance to get you in the Holiday spirit and if you’re a huge London fan, then there’s really nothing to complain about. I just hope that she’s done writing these Wedding Date series books and will open up to writing something a little more challenging with a lot more heat and conflict in it. Guillory is still an exceptional author with a great writing style. I wanted more and have been looking for more with Jasmine Guillory’s books.īut that isn’t to say this book isn’t good. Any conflict they faced was an issue for half a minute before going back to being this sweet romance. It was definitely one of the issues of this book everything just resolved itself. I know that the major one (the fact that they live on opposite ends of the world) is a big one, but that seemed to resolve itself. I’m always looking for that one big conflict that will make you wonder if it’ll work out. While the story was cute and I absolutely love the representation, I was expecting more.
I felt this way with Guillory’s other book The Proposal. I felt like because the couple was older and have had some life experience, they knew exactly what they wanted so there wasn’t a lot of conflict throughout the story.Īnd as much as the story was cute and their relationship only fell prey to a few issues, I wanted more. I also loved how easy and mature the relationship between Vivian and Malcolm was. It’s got romance and London and food and really made me want to go back to one of my favorite cities. But when it starts coming time to saying goodbye, will Vivian be able to go back to the States when her heart is in London? Immediately, these two start enjoying each other’s company only to culminate to romance. When Vivian first arrives, she’s greeted with a cup of tea, a warm scone, and Malcolm, the Queen’s private secretary who just so happens to be in town for some work and sipping a little tea as well. Royal Holiday follows Maddie, the female MC in The Wedding Party, and her mother, Vivian, to London where Maddie will be dressing the Duchess of Sussex (y’all know who exactly that is) for a bunch of holiday parties and soirees.
Am I being a little bit too demanding when it comes to my romance books? I love her little stories, but I hate that they’re not twisty and complicated like some of my other favorite romances. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Jasmine Guillory.
