In a small town in northern Minnesota, Ellie Mittelstadt goes to a psychic where she receives this if she finds a man named Chris Evans, true love will follow...
Only one Even in the tiny town of Haralson, Minnesota, there are six Chris Evanses!
In Finding Chris The Royal Edition, LeeAnn Werth has done everything she must to keep the Werth Inn running strong, including putting aside her dreams of flying away from her tiny north woods town.
But at least this summer, the world has come to her. A mysterious foreign businessman has checked in for some serious R&R, and while LeeAnn knows Cris Evans can’t be the man’s real name, she’s fiercely dedicated to her guests’ privacy. Especially the incredibly gorgeous ones.
For international soccer bad boy Cristopoulis Matretti, Haralson, Minnesota is the perfect hideout. No one here knows he’s embarrassed his native Garronia by punching out his coach… and no one suspects his aunt is a queen. But when a local girl’s unexpected visit sends his bodyguards into an uproar, Cris realizes he must flee again—just when he’s finally getting to know the inn’s dreamy-eyed, hard-working owner. Still, maybe he doesn’t have to leave immediately…
LeeAnn’s not prepared for Cris’s sudden attention, and her defenses go up even as her heart begins to dance. Consorting with guests who make her long for adventure is something a responsible innkeeper simply does not do.
…If only Cristopoulis had ever learned to play by the rules.

La serie es una buena idea, pero su desarrollo deja que desear. Los mejores libros para mí, aunque tampoco sean para tirar cohetes, son el primero (que además es el más sexy) y el quinto (la prota es una fan loca de Star Wars y eso no me puede gustar más). El resto son un poco mñe, este el peor.

Finding Chris Evans : The Royal Edition es la parte que menos he disfrutado de esta pequeña saga, la trama me parecio demasiado superficial ( incluso para pertenecer a esta serie ) y la " historia de amor " no me resulto nada creible.
Ha sido la más malita hasta ahora de todas las que he leído de esta serie!!
Me pareció aburrida... me costaba seguir leyendo... además no me gustaron los protas y su enamoramiento no fue creíble... como que no pegaban estos dos.
Cristopoulis ha llegado a Minessota en busca de privacidad, pero lo que encuentra en 4 meses que lleva ahí, es: una posadera dulce y hermosa y una loca corriendo hacia el. Esta última podría ser Ellie que sigue buscando a su Chris Evans. LeeAnn solo sabe que su nuevo huésped se hace llamar Chris Evans, pero no tiene pinta de llamarse así. Pero si algo ha aprendido de la hostelería es que no hay nada que se aprecie más que la privacidad así que ella no investiga. Pero de repente se encuentra pasando más y más tiempo con Cris... y ya no sabe qué hacer con su vida.
Este libro es el que menos me ha gustado de la serie. Uno, porque no me creí el enamoramiento, no lo hicieron muy realista. A pesar de que todos en la serie son libros cortos esta autora no ha conseguido hacerme sentir el amor entre ellos. Además, el hecho de que LeeAnn se tenga que ir solo porque a él le parezca... bueno creo que si el la ayudase podría mantener igual la posada. En resumen, estos libros ya sabemos que son para pasar el rato, pero este no ha sido el mejor de ellos.
When Ellie learns that Chris Evans is staying at her friend LeeAnn's B & B, she asks to meet him and instantly he is surrounded by his bodyguard friends. This Chris Evans only has eyes for LeeAnn and when he returns to his home near Greece, will she finally get her wish to travel. A great story, a terrific read.
Loved this!! It's the fourth Chris Evans (well in this case it's Cris) we get to meet in this series of novellas. Will this be the forever love Ellie Mittelstadt is looking for??
LeeAnn Werth is an innkeeper in northern Minnesota. She takes her guests privacy seriously but not quite as serious as the two guys who jump to Cris Evan's defense when a woman shows up wanting to meet Cris. Cris is suppose to be an international businessman taking a break but LeeAnn's not buying it but who is she to question him? Cristopoulis Matretti is an international soccer player who was recently caught up in a huge scandal. He's laying low in Minnesota until the outrage blows over. When your aunt is the Queen of your country, actions like his hit every newspaper. He finds that he really likes it in Minnesota. At least he really likes the cute innkeeper. When the unexpected visitor shows up Cris is certain it's time for him to leave but he doesn't want to. He really wants to get to know LeeAnn. Can he get around all her defenses and really get to know her? Will she be upset when she finds out who he really is???
This is a super cute story and one everyone should read. I highly recommend it.
In this episode, "Cris Evans" is staying at a remote Inn in Minnesota that is run by LeeAnn Werth. LeeAnn suspects Cris is traveling under an assumed name, but values her customer's privacy. She has a "lapse" where she tells her friend Ellie about Cris. Ellie proceeds to tell LeeAnn about the fortune teller's prediction, so she lets Ellie know when Cris is around. All does not go as planned since his bodyguards "tackle" Ellie when she tries to meet Cris. They haul her off and won't let her close to Cris, so she speeds away leaving LeeAnn to deal with the mess. Cris, trying to make amends for his bodyguards, offers their services around the Inn. LeeAnn tries to refuse, but Cris won't hear of it.
As Cris and LeeAnn work together to clean up the barn and boathouse, they begin to have feelings for each other. LeeAnn believes nothing can come of it because she has responsibilities and doesn't want to let her father and grandfather down. She's put her savings and dreams on hold for five years trying to make the Inn profitable, but feels overwhelmed. The lease is up for renewal, but she doesn't think she has it in her to give up another five years. Cris, with his own insecurities, can't bring himself to tell LeeAnn who he really is. So he leaves her computer open to the link to see who he really is. She already feels badly that she was "with" a guest, but finding out he is famous.....Can Cris convince LeeAnn to follow her dreams and see what may become of them.......
I loved this novella! It's a fairytale come true. Swoon-worthy!!!! Highly recommended! I read a gifted copy and all opinions expressed are my own.
Once again, we return to Minnesota, where Ellie Mittelstadt lives. A fortune teller told her she would find love in Chris Evans and now Ellie is determine to search for him. Only problem is there are 6 Chris Evans in her area! So off she goes searching for her true love. Sadly , every time she finds him, he is not the one for her. In this novella, we meet LeeAnn Werth, innkeeper extraordinary. She had dreams of traveling the world but when her father falls ill, she returns to the inn . Once he passes away, she takes over Werth Inn and her dreams are put on hold. Hiding from bad press is Cris Evans (not his real name) whose aunt is the queen of Garronia. A sweet , touching story that will make you smile and easy to enjoy in an afternoon. I suggest you read the prequel, either by getting it for free on Amazon, or reading it in the back of each of the Finding Chris Evans’ books. It helps understand the storyline of all the books in this series. I am off to finding the next book of the series.
I was gifted this book. The opinions expressed are solely mine.
LeeAnn has spent the last 5 years running the family inn, and though Werth Inn is successful she realizes that she's just going through the motions, putting every minute of her day into keeping the dream alive for her father and grandfather. When Greek businessman and guest Christopher Evans approaches LeeAnn with a request to learn about becoming an innkeeper, they learn a lot about each other. Will LeeAnn risk everything for a chance to follow her dreams, or will she continue going through the motions? Chris and LeeAnn's sweet story has an international flair that brings a whole new world of possibilities to a soccer bad boy and a lonely innkeeper and I really enjoyed it. My favorite part about this series is reading some delightful new-to-me authors while solving the mystery of which Chris Evans Ellie Mittelstadt will choose. I will definitely be reading more of the sweet and delightful writing of Jennifer Chance. I received a complimentary copy of this book and all opinions expressed in this voluntary review are completely my own.
Finding Chris Evans: The Royal Edition by Jennifer Chance is the fourth in this multi-author continuity series. LeeAnn Werth runs a small inn in Minnesota, certainly not the kind of woman who would run in the same circles as royalty. Cristopoulis Matretti is an international soccer star laying low for a few months while the scandal loses steam.
Jennifer Chance’s story of pursuing our dreams and finding love when we least expect is a charming and delightful read.
LeeAnn is the innkeeper where Cris hides out for awhile. He is royalty from another country. It takes them awhile to connecting they enjoy each other's company. The inn is so beautiful and they find things there they didn't expect. Love their relationship. It is a cute story.
Ellie's fourth encounter with Chris Evans. I do not understand why his bodyguards flipped out over her showing up using his pseudonym. The story seemed to skip several times, like something was missing. And why was he suddenly so cold the morning after?
Se me hizo bastante pesado y aburrido. Pero no creo que se haya debido a la historia (¬¬), porque en los últimos capítulos lo disfruté Me encantó la reina y espero leer pronto su historia *-*
LeeAnn owns the Werth Inn in the woods and hills of Minnesota. And she respects her guests' privacy. She knows that Chris Evans cannot be her guest's real name, but she doesn't care. Our heroine Ellie comes to meet him, and LeeAnn and Cris finally start talking - as more than just guest and host. He has been smitten with her from a distance, but she kept everything professional - until now. He and his bodyguards help her clean out her stone barn, finding many treasures. Cris is actually an internationally known soccer player that is hiding out from the trouble he has caused - and the disgrace he has caused his family - he is the nephew to the Queen of Garronia. But working together, they find they actually like each other a lot. But he lives in Garronia and she lives in Minnesota in the U.S. But has always dreamed of traveling. Maybe Cris can convince her to travel - to his Garronia!
What would you do if a fortune teller told you your destiny was to fall in love with Chris Evans? You’d find Chris Evans, of course. International Football star and royalty Cristopoulis Matretti has come to the wilds of Northern Minnesota to hide out from his latest indiscretion. When our girl shows up to meet this latest Chris Evans he believes his cover is blown. He uses the opportunity to make a move on the local innkeeper he’s been getting to know over the last few months. LeeAnne has no idea who her esteemed guest is; she’s more consumed with the idea of renewing the lease on her inn for five more years. When our girl arrives and shakes things up, she shakes LeeAnne out of her head and forces her to decide what she really wants in life.
I love this concept for a series... six men all named Chris Evans live in the same town in Minnesota and only one of them is the love match for Ellie Mittlestadt. Six authors have teamed up to write this series and I can't wait to read all the books. Ellie is sent on a mission by a psychic who is trying to find a love match for her nephew whose name is Chris Evans. Ellie knows nothing more about him than his name. So when she discovers there are 6 of them in their small town, she is a bit perplexed.
In this installment, Ellie tracks down one of the Chris Evans at a inn in northern Minnesota. She tries to talk to him but is rather rudely shooed away by his bodyguards. Chris has taken a false name in an effort to hide his true identity of Cristopoulis Matretti, an international soccer super-star who is in temporary exile ordered by his father for an incident involving his soccer coach. She quickly realizes that he is not the Chris Evans she is fated to fall in love with!
Leanne Werth is the innkeeper ( and a friend of Ellie's)and she has not quite figured out what is going on with her guest, Chris Evans. She suspects that he is hiding something but she is too busy trying to keep the inn running in spite of lack of finances to worry about him. She dreams of leaving the inn behind and traveling but is bound by her family loyalty to stay and fight to keep it open. Leanne is a romantic at heart who loves to watch the swans on the lake and to dream of finding her perfect mate as the swans have done.
Cris/Chris is drawn to Leanne and fills her mind with thoughts of leaving it all behind and following her dreams. She is attracted to him and struggles with her sense of loyalty vs her desires to travel. Will love conquer all? Will Leanne finally see her dreams come to fruition?
This is a sweet love story and a quick read. I enjoyed it and the other novellas in this fun series.
“Finding Chris Evans” is a series of short stories created by some amazing writers letting their imagination give us readers charming love stories as Ellie Mittelstadt searches for her right Christ Evans…. as each Chris Evans finds his own perfect partner in life.
“Finding Chris Evans: The Royal Edition”, written by Jennifer Chance is book 4 of the series as Elle continues the search for her Mr. Chris Evans, we meet the royal prince/bad boy/soccer pro Christopoulis Matretti laying low in the little town of Haralson, MN after the debacle of his last soccer game.
Having a rich foreign national staying at her inn gives LeeAnn Werth hope of keeping her inn above water. Sacrificing her dreams of flying away from her little hometown, LeeAnn works hard to keep her family legacy running, but her heart yearns for adventures beyond the town.
Romance and love was definitely not on either of their agendas, yet LeeAnn and Chris can’t fight the sparks that flare between them, and looks like Chris would take away LeeAnn on an adventure of a lifetime.
Certainly a first good read for me of Jennifer Chance, as she continues the story of “Finding Chris Evans”. Short, sweet and warm!
This is book 4 in the Finding Chris Evans series. A series brought to you by 6 different authors, each story follows the path to true love a Chris Evans. If you haven't yet I'd suggest you read the previous titles, each offers you a little taste of Ellie, the woman who started it all. And each story is a great read on its own. I personally have loved the actions of Ellie that leads to more for each Chris Evans and his "true love".
This edition is the story of LeeAnn and Cris (without the H). I loved that little part, his saying his name is Cris without the "H". This is another quick easy read. We watch as the characters realize just what the other person means to them. This edition deals with a royal family member, Cris, and what that will mean for the future. It takes LeeAnn a while to come to terms with everything but I think that only added to the appeal of the romance. Fans of great romances with wonderfully written characters are sure to love this novella as well as the others in the series. I highly recommend Jennifer Chance's FINDING CHRIS EVANS: THE ROYAL EDITION to everyone!
Oh my gosh, this series is great! In Finding Chris Evans: The Royal Edition, the story is ultimately about LeeAnn Werth and “Christopher Evans” also known as Cristopoulis Matretti, a disgraced international soccer star (you’ll have to read all about how he did that) of Garronia whose aunt is also the Queen. He is hiding out in Minnesota under the assumed Chris Evans name, trying to let the furor die down from his antics on the soccer field. In this story, Ellie (who is looking for “her” Chris Evans) gets into trouble by visiting her friend LeeAnn and talking her into allowing Ellie to walk up to Cristo and introduce herself. Yep, she has yet another hilarious meeting! Ultimately, though, this is LeeAnn’s and Cristo’s story and it will touch your heart. LeeAnn’s backstory will break it and Cristo’s attempt to make her feel better will warm it. While this happens, they fall in love, of course! I love these Chris Evans stories and trying to explain the plot myself probably doesn’t help at all. This is a wonderful read and I highly recommend it. I loved LeeAnn and Cristo – and the Queen will make you laugh, too!
Leann took over the ownership of the inn from her parents and she feels its her responsibility to take very good care of it and make it thrive. Little did she know that she has an athletic super star hiding out at her inn. Chis is not only a professional soccer player that punched his coached and needs to hide out. Chris is also a noble from Garronia.
All these complication and he is starting to fall for Leann the more he spends time with here. What is he going to do. He know he should go back home . But what is he to do with all these new feelings.
I felt like this was a cute love story. It felt a little fairy tale like because of him being a noble and having a lot of non ending cash so they can travel.
I had not read this author in the past but read it as part the finding chris evan's series and did enjoy. This book can be read as a stand alone.
I received this book as an ARC from the Authors of this series.
I bought this book because its part of the "Finding Chris Evans" series. Its the first thing I've read from this author. I enjoyed the story, I just wish there a little more to it. It opens with the hero and heroine having been acquainted for a few months,but really not knowing one another. Just as he's about to leave for good, he takes an interest and they spend a little time together, then he's told by his aunt based on a photo, that he's in love. Fast forward two months, they're really just starting get to be together, and it ends. I liked the premise of the story, I just didn't feel the chemistry except when they were in bed. Good but not great.

Finding Chris Evans: The Royal Edition by Jennifer Chance....Another great story in the Finding Chris Evans series. Ellie is still on the search for her Chris Evans and this one is not him. I enjoyed watching the storyline and characters be developed. It was fun to see LeeAnn and Cris's stories be told, LeeAnn an Innkeeper and Cris a Royal soccer player. This is a book and series is one you will want to read...every book has been fantastic. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Jennifer Chance brings her take to this series with a tale as old as time. Reminiscent of Cinderella, LeeAnn runs a the inn that was started by her Grandfather and continued by her Father. Always having wanderlust, she is finding it difficult to continue but is held in place by her wish to honor her dead Father. Enter Cris/Chris. Hiding out in LeeAnn's inn to avoid scandal back home in Europe, he finds that innkeeper intrigues him. Their story is very entertaining and am looking forward to the rest of the series.
In this latest in the Finding Chris Evans series, poor Ellie still hasn't found HER Chris Evans. Her friend, LeeAnne, has a man named Chris Evans staying at her Inn, but being thrown out by two bodyguards convinces Ellie that he's not the one for her. LeeAnne is conscious of protecting the privacy of those that stay at her inn. Once she starts digging into matters, she just might find that "her Chris" is not only Royalty, but just maybe her Prince Charming.
In this edition, we meet LeeAnn Werth and the Chris Evans (aka Cris-without-an-h) who is rusticating in LeeAnn’s family Inn after being sent away from Garronia in disgrace. The snippet we see of Ellie is small in this story, but what Ellie triggers is nothing short of momentous. I have a big soft spot for Garronia, and loved reading this story that linked with other characters from Jennifer Chance. It’s touching, amusing and steamy in all the right doses. Do yourself a favour and snag it!
This book, the fifth one in the Finding Chris Evans series started slower than the others, it was softer but no less rewarding!! My cup runeth over!! This Chris is an international soccer star hiding from the press, LeeAnn is a very small town innkeeper who provides the perfect place for him to hide. When he finally focuses his attention on her he falls into the blue of her eyes and he isn't the same anymore!!! Happy reading!!
And now I want to read all of Jennifer Chance's royal series books! This was such a sweet, sexy novella about LeeAnn and Cris, the Minnesota Innkeeper and the Royal Soccer Superstar. LeeAnn was stuck in a rut due to family loyalty, and along comes Cris to break her out of the funk! Quick, fun read. Can't wait for the next in the Finding Chris Evans series.
