Ornamental Match Maker #20
A Crown for Christmas
Ms. Claus is on the lookout for love’s heir, and zeroes in on the perfect match for the upcoming King of Edstrom Isle. Megan Fairchild, a successful psychiatrist, is tired of celebrating her deceased mother’s version of Christmas, and sets out to find her own path. The vacation destination is decided when the ornament arrives from the North Pole – a Royal Tiara. Megan embarks on the trip of a lifetime, never suspecting Prince Charming awaits her on the other side of the world. But royal blood and that of commoners have never mixed within the Monarchy, and as the complications mount, Megan must decide between preserving tradition or seizing her happy-ever-after. When the walls of defense crumble in Megan’s heart, she bolts for home. Will her Prince choose the practical marriage over love with the American girl of his dreams? Christmas magic seems to have an expiry date, and the Ball is approaching fast. Join the romantic chase as love crosses the boundaries in this Ornamental Match Maker story of rescuing two lonely hearts?

A delightful holiday tale of a commoner showing royalty how to give the Book of Etiquette fresh views and a personal touch. Megan's fresh approach that the wealthy would possess a good dose of social graces and show thankfulness for the underlings that pamper their prosperity. Marlene Bierworth's writing and vocabulary makes this royal tale realistic. The characters are approachable, page turning twists and turns that end in a believable resolution. The Ornamental Match Maker series is a fun holiday read.

I found myself saying, "You go girl." Megan, feisty and "throw caution to the wind" type of character, spoke boldly to the Queen. I enjoyed this story. Great characters. Magical plot.

Once again Marlene Bierworth knocks one out of the park. She tells a great story with real and believable characters filled with emotions that are always relatable. And I love the fact that she always gives our heavenly Father a central role in the midst of stories about the matchmaking workings of one Mrs. Santa Clause. She definitely doesn't hide her heart and beliefs under a bushel basket

A couple of weeks before Christmas Megan received an crown ornament from the North Pole. When her best friend advises to take a trip to Edstrom Island she agrees. When she meets Ryan and starts a friendship she never could have expected to fall for the Crown Prince of Edstrom. But can a commoner really become a queen?
Fun story that tells the story of love instead of just duty.

Ever dreamed of being a princess?
Not Megan! She would rather run far and fast, can Ryan convince Meg that he is just a man who has fallen in love with a woman?
A Christmas fairytale complete with the required wicked queen, political obstacles, traditional expectations and villain, can true love overcome all?
Ryan certainly believes so!

Take a bow
What a wonderful tale of finding love in the most unusual place expected.
I love the formal English, it has been years since I've heard it spoken. It brought back many happy memories.

Mrs. Claus is matchmaking again with a new ornament sent and a new couple matched. I love reading the series and that they are standalone stories. I loved reading about this fictional kingdom and the characters. Overall a quicker, light hearted, Christmas story that easily kept my attention.

Really Great Series
Such a great Christain series. I'm so enjoying all these Christmas stories that combine Mrs Claus as matchmaker a long with faith. I loved Ryan and Megan's story. These 2 are perfect together. A really great read.

Nice little short story about romance in a tropical kingdom.
This is a light read, I read it all in one evening 2.5 hours approximately.
I really wanted a Christmas story, this is more of a romantic story. Apart from the ornament, there is A Christmas tree, a Christmas ball and that's about it.
Megan's way of speaking changes drastically from a normal New Yorker to a sophisticated aristocrat the moment she meets Ryan. This kind of bugged me.
Overall it was a relaxing short romance.
If you are looking for a Hallmark movie type holiday read, this is not the story for you. However, if you are looking to discover an author you've never read, and aren't particularly fond of Christmas, then this short may be just what you are seeking!
