When Juliet Ripley's mom asks her to star in her reality teen dating show to promote her new dating app, Ripley is willing to do anything to get out of it. Lucky for her, she knows Garrick is the perfect man for the job. His family owns the fairy-tale-themed park where the show will be filmed and he's had a lot of practice being the charming knight with only superficial feelings. The last thing Ripley and Garrick expected was to find real love amongst their scripted reality.

I had a really good time reading A Knight Before Christmas. The whole idea was a little far-fetched… A reality dating show starring teenagers at a fairy-tale-themed park…. But it worked. It was fun. It was lighthearted and festive, while simultaneously digging into some of the more serious issues Juliet and Garrick were working through. The theme park setting was magical and cheerful during the holidays. Who wouldn't enjoy that kind of access to a theme park?

The humor between Juliet and Garrick was entertaining. The side characters in the story were endearing. Although the reality dating show was the main focus, the holiday vibes were still there. I'd give it a 4/5 for Christmas spirit. I highly recommend A Knight Before Christmas.
