I chose this book because it takes place n Maine which is my favorite place to be. I also was drawn to it because I read the sequel to it & greatly enjoyed that. Both books have mystery & romance & keeps you reading chapter after chapter. I would recommend it to any reader who likes both light undeciferable mystery & pretty descriptive romance!

I think this was the best in the McCullagh Inn Storyline so far. So when is the sequel? We need to know what this Jared Smith is all about.

A Princess in Maine was an entertaining and fast-paced read with my favorite plot of the series.

For Chelsea Holland life couldn't be better as she's married to the love of her life and runs the inn the two built together. With the McCullagh Inn becoming a popular wedding location, Chelsea isn't surprised when her old friend Grace asks to have her wedding there. What is a surprise is that she wants the wedding to be in two months and her fiancé is the prince of a small European country. But Chelsea isn't one to back down from a challenge and so she prepares to give Grace the wedding of the century.

Chelsea and Jeremy's relationship hits a few rough patches in this book due to a lack of communication between the pair. While they are clear about how much they love each other, when it comes to things that bother them, they have a tendency to stay silent which ultimately leads to a few fights. One thing I didn't love was that they never seemed to actually resolve their issues. Instead one of them would cave, they'd have sex, and the problem wouldn't be mentioned again. Granted the sex scenes were very well done and quite steamy, but sex does not solve all issues.

As to the plot in this book, the secret royal wedding, it was my favorite in the series. I loved the idea of Grace and Phillip eloping because they knew they were right for each other, forget the media and their opinion. This book does take place over the course of two months and those months go by very quickly. Because Grace is out of the country for the majority of the planning period, Chelsea has to do most of the planning. I enjoyed the little bits sprinkled throughout of the wedding planning aspects, but I wish there had been more of those moments. Ultimately the book is focused on a mysterious person attempting to sabotage the wedding. One thing after another goes wrong and I have to say I was surprised by who the culprit was. Overall though it was an exciting and fast-paced plot that made the book fly by.

A Princess in Maine was definitely my favorite in the series and I'm sad to see there are no more books in the series as there were definitely some things left unresolved. I would recommend this series if you're looking for some quick reads with a hint of romantic suspense.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed

I thought anything by James Patterson was a book to read, except this one. How disappointed I was when we got to all the very descriptive sex acts, was that really necessary to go into such great detail? If I wanted to read smut I would have bought Playboy or Penthouse, I am sure it is as bad. Other than that, and I am halfway through at this point, it doesn't seem to be too bad otherwise, but I haven't gotten to the end yet. I don't really like at all using, seeing or hearing vulgar words, but geez, give me a break. James Patterson, did you really put your name on this one?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best in the series

I was in love with the first two books of this series and I had high hopes for this one. However, unlike the first two there was barely any action. The epilogue made it seem like there is a 4th book in the series and there is not. So we are left with a half finished story and cliffhanger. I can't find anything online that suggests there will be a book to tie up loose ends. So literally, reading this was such a waste of time because it had a whole new story with bits and pieces of Chelsea and Jeremy's life and then just "the end"

**DONT READ ON FOR SPOILERS**

I am infuriated that we find out about a unknown sibling in book two. One out for some sort of revenge. He is mentioned once again in the epilogue arriving at the inn, the first step in his evil plan... But then it ends. Left us to our imagination. I am actually livid. I would have skipped this book had I have known!

This is the third book in the McCullagh Inn series and I honestly hope that there are going to be more books, as this was left on quite a cliffhanger with a lot of unanswered questions.
Chelsea and Jeremy are still the perfect, loving couple and have settled into happily running McCullagh Inn. They have successfully added wedding packages to their itinerary at the Inn.
When an old school friend asks Chelsea to host her wedding at the Inn, she doesn’t quite realise how much stress this will entail!
