USA Today bestselling author Jenny Holiday follows A Princess for Christmas with another delightful contemporary Christmas romance, set in the heart of New York City, about a playboy baron and a woman who has said goodbye to love.

"[A] master of witty banter."??Entertainment Weekly

There's a royal wedding on, and things are about to get interesting.

Meet the man of honor

Maximillian von Hansburg, Baron of Laudon and heir to the Duke of Aquilla, is not having a merry Christmas. He's been dumped by a princess, he's unemployed, and his domineering father has sent him to New York to meet a prospective bride he has no interest in. In the city, he meets Dani Martinez, a smart (and gorgeous) professor he's determined to befriend before their best friends marry in the Eldovian wedding of the century.

Meet the best woman

Newly single, no-nonsense New Yorker Dani is done with love??she even has a list entitled "Things I Will Never Again Do for a Man"??which is why she hits it off with notorious rake Max. He's the perfect partner for snow angels in Central Park and deep conversations about the futility of love.

It's all fun and games until their friendship deepens into attraction and, oops...

Falling in love was never part of the p… (mehr)

Very cute, slightly Christmasy, friends to lovers, with enjoyable banter.

I'll probably go back sometime and read the other two in this series but this works well enough as a stand alone I think. ( )

Daniela and Max meet when they're asked to be the best woman and man of honor for their friends' nuptials. What they don't expect is to become friends. But after a random encounter in New York City near Christmas, the two find themselves regularly exchanging texts and phone calls and updating each other on their new year resolutions (Dani wants to finally get divorced from her ex-husband and Max wants a job that isn't just being heir to a Duke). As the year goes by and the royal wedding approaches, Max and Dani are both wondering if maybe their friendship could be something more.

A highly enjoyable, slow-burn friends to lovers romance that has a healthy dose of Christmas content in the mix. Dani and Max are both really well-rounded characters who have complex backstories but are also fun to read about with plenty of banter. Also Dani has an adorable Yorkie also named Max that you can't help but love. I've really enjoyed Jenny Holiday's writing and I'll be seeking out her non-Christmas romances in the new year. ( )

Love Actually, but if Hallmark wrote the script. I kind of dig that she is older, and he is younger. It definitely shows up in their personalities. ( )

Max! *swoon* I want a Max. I loved him and Dani in [b:A Princess for Christmas|50496878|A Princess for Christmas|Jenny Holiday|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1585191175l/50496878._SY75_.jpg|73236159] and was waiting in great anticipation for this one. It didn't disappoint.

There was one moment where I was "come on, Max, that's obvious" and I was a little disappointed with the author that she made him dim like that but she didn't hold off the reveal for long and then Max was delightfully "of course!" that I forgave everything.

This probably won't become a Christmas movie because of the steam, which is a shame as I'd love to see it. ( )
