In Search Of A Prince by Toni Shiloh

 

This is the first book I have read by Toni Shilo. It was a fantastic read, one of those books that you want to savor, but you also want to know what happens so can't put it down. This book can be described as The Princess Diaries goes to Africa with the added benefit of the characters being practicing Christians. I loved Brielle and Mori. They are a sweet couple and I sincerely hope Ms. Shiloh writes a sequel! I would love to follow their reign and the growth of their family!. The setting is lovely and the suspense was very engaging. 

Brew up a pot of tea and settle in where you can't be disturbed! I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did!

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

It seems like a dream come true . . . until it forces her to question everything.

Brielle Adebayo is fully content teaching at a New York City public school and taking annual summer vacations with her mother to Martha's Vineyard. But everything changes when her mom drops a bombshell--Brielle is really a princess in the island kingdom of Ọlọrọ Ilé, off the coast of Africa, and she must immediately assume her royal position, since the health of her grandfather, the king, is failing.

Distraught by all the secrets her mother kept, Brielle is further left spinning when the Ọlọrọ Ilé Royal Council brings up an old edict that states she must marry before her coronation, or the crown will pass to another. Brielle is uncertain if she even wants the throne, and with her world totally shaken, where will she find the courage to take a chance on love and brave the perils a wrong decision may bring?

To Treasure An Heiress by Roseanna White

 

To Treasure An Heiress, book 2 in Roseanna White's Secrets of the Isles is a fabulous book! It was fascinating reading about the Scilly Islands. On these cold winter days, I really enjoyed the warmth of the islands. Beth and Sheridan are adorable and I love their witty conversations! The treasure hunt kept me engaged and cheering Beth on. I loved the plot twists. The secondary characters are quite well developed and I feel as though I had a lovely vacation in a time gone by. My suggestion is to curl up under a sun lamp, with a pitcher of ice tea and enjoy a lovely adventure!

1906

Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. Now, after stumbling across an old collection of letters and a map buried on her family's property, she's found more adventure than she ever anticipated in the hunt for pirate treasure. But in order to discover where the clues lead, she must search alongside Lord Sheridan, a man she finds insufferable.

Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests pique his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth's search connects with one of his far-removed pirate ancestors, he can't help getting involved. Plus, he finds her irresistible, even though she insists he stole a prized possession of hers.

As they work together following different clues and drawing closer to danger, they start to piece together a story of tragic love and piratical adventure. But which treasure will bring the greatest surprise--the one they find in each other or the one just out of their reach?
