Once Upon a Royal Summer

Theme park princess Lacey finds a real-life prince of her own.

Lacey Pope is living the dream as Princess Sweet Pea at a fairytale theme park in Florida. Her sunny disposition and giant pink fluffy gown enchant the park visitors to Once Upon a Time. The job means a lot to Lacey because she was visited by the princesses in the hospital when her mother was dying.

Lacey's boyfriend wants her to get a "real job" and give up the princess gig, but Lacey is hesitant to leave. She soon realizes that this guy isn't the one for her and she breaks up with him. At her next royal tea party, a handsome stranger catches her eye.

This is of course no ordinary stranger but Prince Henry Chevalier, crown prince of Bella-Moritz. Henry has left the small kingdom near the French Riviera so his daughter can have a normal birthday without royal pressures upon her.

Henry's daughter Rose immediately takes to Lacey and her princess personality, and Lacey's boss's boss's boss asks her to be the family's exclusive tour guide during their time in Florida. Sparks fly between Henry and Lacey and he invites her to his kingdom.

Lacey has her share of royal drama, but because this is a Hallmark publication we know that all will be well with these lovebirds eventually.

Brittany Pressley is a good narrator and conveys Lacey and Henry's story in a solid performance.

Recommended for fans of royal romances, theme parks, and fairy tales.
