Book Review: His Jingle Bell Princess by Barbara Dunlop

his-jingle-bell-princessA reverse gender fairytale romance, “His Jingle Bell Princess” is for fans of Anne Hathaway’s “Princess Diaries” and Audrey Hepburn’s “Roman Holiday.” And as the title suggests, it is the man who is the commoner who happens to be a widower, too.

In a bizarre incident, Princess Jasmine of Vollan was accidentally left stranded in Tucker, Maine by her private plane. Since not one of the inhabitants of the small town know who she is, Princess Jasmine decided to be incognito.

Feeling truly free for the first time in her life, Princess Jasmine found it very easy to relate and be friends with the Cutlers, the family who hosted her. What Princess Jasmine did not expect was the attraction she felt for Sam Cutler, a widower and the father of nine-year old twin girls.

Of course, the feelings are mutual, but Sam was still processing the death of wife two years ago. Jasmine on the other hand does not know how her father, the King and the whole of Vollan will react if she chose a commoner as her husband.

What to do, what to do?! Barbara Dunlop has a graceful solution and it truly made the story a fairytale!

His Jingle Bell Princess” is Rated PG 13. There are no sex scenes in this book.
