Once Upon a Royal Summer by Teri Wilson



Once Upon a Royal Summer

A delightful royal romance from Hallmark Publishing

by Teri Wilson, Hallmark Publishing

Narrated by Brittany Pressley


I listened to this arc audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is the second Teri Wester book I have read. The other book I read was Unleashing Mr. Darcy. A very fun Pride and Prejudice homage for any Jane Austen fans out there. I also enjoyed the Hallmark Movie version of that book although like many avid readers I felt the book was better. I very much hope this will also be a Hallmark movie and will eagerly look forward to a girls night with my sister to view it. 


This is a combo single dad / Royal + commoner romance with a twist that the heroine is also professionally a pretend princess but more importantly that she embodies the character and heart of what should make a true princess. I enjoyed the parallels of her playing the princess and the pea who’s princessness must be tested before marrying the prince. This is a delightful cotton candy sweet and clean romance. I enjoyed the length of the book. Sometimes you just need a 6.5 hour fun romp of fictional wonderment.


The sound quality was exceptional and the narrator was perfection. I was in awe of her ability to convincingly portray so many characters of different genders, ages and nationalities that pulled you deep into the magic of the story. I was genuinely struck by some of the descriptive language utilized to paint such an exact picture intoning the perfect ambience to make the reader truly visualize the feel and atmosphere of each scene. 


5/5 would listen (and/read) again.
