Book & Film Club - A Ruff Royal Christmas

Please join us for a special discussion of A Ruff Royal Christmas, the latest book by Karen Schaler.

In A Ruff Royal Christmas, Emmy Award–winner Karen Schaler, writer of Netflix’s A Christmas Prince, delivers a heartwarming holiday rom-com where Princess Ava’s perfectly planned Christmas Eve charity gala unravels after Stormy, the Queen’s mischievous border collie, runs off, leading her to team up with Justin, a free-spirited American dog trainer. Their search for the runaway pup takes them through festive markets, snowy adventures, and cozy holiday traditions, where sparks begin to fly despite Ava being promised to a duke. Filled with humor, romance, and holiday magic, this charming royal Christmas story proves the best love stories are never the ones you plan.
