English professor Dani Martinez hasn't had the best year. She caught her husband in bed with one of his former students, and although the mediation process is complete, her husband is refusing to sign the divorce papers. Normally, she'd confide all these problems to her best friend, Leo, but he moved halfway around the world after falling in love with a princess from Eldovia. Dani will be the best woman at Leo's royal wedding, which places her in the orbit of man of honor Maximillian von Hansburg, an Eldovian baron who will one day inherit a dukedom. One morning she gets an out-of-the-blue text from Max, who's in New York and suggests they meet to compare notes on the upcoming wedding. Max enjoys being with Dani, one of the only people who treats him like a normal person instead of a shallow playboy. When she impulsively asks him to be her plus one at a dreaded faculty Christmas party where she'll have to see her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Max agrees and a friendship is born. Holiday's knack for writing witty banter is on full display here, with Dani and Max's escalating text messages and phone conversations showing a deepening friendship between them. Dani helps Max learn to find a purpose for himself, and he encourages her to take control of her own life. This slow-burn romance will appeal to readers who enjoy the friends-to-lovers trope. The novel carefully builds trust and a deepening emotional attachment between Dani and Max, but the development and arc of their romantic relationship is rushed. A well-drawn portrait of friendship leaves little time for romance. COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 15, 2021 Nothing says you are completely over your soon-to-be ex-husband quite like showing up at a social gathering with a nice piece of man-candy on your arm. At least, that is what Dani Martinez thought she was doing when she asks Maximillian von Hansburg to accompany her to her faculty holiday party. However, Dani's post-party plan to ditch Max and carry on with her sabbatical hits an unexpected snag when she discovers just how much she enjoys spending time with Max. RITA-nominated Holiday follows A Princess for Christmas (2020) with another splendidly entertaining romance that offers just the right dash of holiday cheer and delectably droll wit. COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(5): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from October 15, 2021 Holiday's latest (a sequel to A Princess for Christmas ) is another contemporary Christmas romance. Facing a bitter divorce from her cheating ex, Dani Martinez is armed with a list of things I will never again do for a man to protect her from another broken heart. Still, it doesn't hurt having the handsome Depraved Duke of Eldovia, Maximilian von Hansburg, on her arm at the faculty Christmas party to show she's coping just fine. Max, who's also in the royal wedding of Dani's best friend Leo, is a safe choice because rich playboys never fall for common English literature professors. Except Max turns out to be a great listener, and suddenly he and Dani are sharing all sorts of secrets with each other. After a year of long-distance bonding, Max invites Dani to his estate in Eldovia for the Christmas wedding. But with physical attraction and a deep emotional attachment drawing them closer, Dani's not sure if her list will continue to save her. VERDICT This smashing sequel is packed with delightful characters, snappy dialogue, and a fairy-tale European setting. A top pick for every holiday romance reading list.
