I decided to continue on with the series to introduce myself to three more new to me authors and have enjoyed each book so much, this one included. I have said before that I started this series because the first author is a favorite of mine. His Forbidden Princess by Jeannie Moon is the fourth novella in the Royal Holiday series.
