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?
