Book Review: His Defiant Princess by Kathleen O’Brien

Book 3 of the Royal Holiday, “His Defiant Princess ” by Kathleen O’Brien introduces readers to the Unified Isles of Cornetta, a small kingdom located at the Sea of Biscay in the south of France.

Usually very quiet and tranquil, the whom kingdom was shocked early morning when Crown Prince Emory had a diarrhea of the mouth and caused the biggest scandal the Royal House of Vicenza ever had.

Enter American Brenna Tinley, owner of a boutique PR firm and considered one of the best in the kingdom. If ever there was someone who can clear up the mess, it will be Brenna. There is only one problem though. The “spare” Prince Ronan and Brenna had a past and working for the Palace is very low on her priority list.

Written like a fairy tale, “His Defiant Princess ” is a story of second chances in more ways than one. Short, concise and very sweet, author Kathleen O’Brien successfully created three-dimensional characters beginning with the protagonists – Brenna and Ronan, to the supporting cast – the Queen, Prince Emory, Brenna’s business partner all the way to the wicked witch of social media in Cornetta.

“His Defiant Princess ” is a novella; when I reached the end, I wished that it was a full length novel. I really would have liked to the background stories about everyone. Ms. O’Brien wrote all the characters to be very interesting no matter how small their part were.

“His Defiant Princess ” is Rated T for Teens.
