The first book of the “Royal Holiday” series, “The Cinderella Princess 
The premise is simple; find a bride for the youngest prince from a small European kingdom via a reality TV show.
Told in a whispery voice reserved for those nights when our parents tuck us in to bed and read us a fairy tale, “The Cinderella Princess” lives up to its titular character’s reputation of “one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect.” Though, you will be surprised who Cinderella refers to in the story.
The book more than lived up to the allusions and tropes usually associated with Cinderella. For that, I would have given it 5 stars. But, I have to take down one star because an Edward VIII sacrifice was not needed nor warranted.
For everything they had gone through, the hero and heroine have earned their happily ever after fair and square. They did not need another event to prove their love for each other.
