Very much like the Princess Diaries. Cute story! I liked how the characters prayed all the time. Great faith content!

This was such a good book full of faith!! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator does a fabulous job as well. Toni Shiloh never disappoints.

I loved getting a glimpse of African customs, culture, and language in Toni Shiloh’s latest. The attention to detail and description made me believe I was in this fictional country, learning a new language alongside Brielle. The relationships that develop are well paced and tastefully written. I enjoyed it tremendously and hope there’s a sequel that takes us back to Oloro Ile!

Romance with a big dash of modern day fantasy. A young woman finds out that she is the descendent of a prince from a small country in Africa. She had no idea - and is very mad at her mother for a while - but she agrees to go meet the grandfather that she never knew and find out more about this part of her family she never knew about. She and her best friend are whisked off in a private jet where they disembark, meet a handsome bodyguard/driver, and are set up in a suite of palatial rooms right on the beach. It sounds like the stuff of fairy tales and for Brielle it is - except for the fact that her newly found grandfather is dying and tells her that he wants her to become her successor. Brielle has many decisions to make, and eventually that will include who she will marry as the Governing council decrees that she must marry before she can ascend to the throne.
This book was pure fun to read. Readers who enjoy hallmark movies and modern day fairy tales will lap this up. Enjoy!

I enjoyed this book. I like how the characters relied on God through prayer and by reading and holding onto his word!

If you like Hallmark movies, you'll enjoy this novel's charm and cuteness. It was an easy read and I liked it. I didn't love that Bri cried or had tears in her eyes in just about every scene and that she felt nauseous every time she was nervous and there were many scenes when it seemed the protagonist contradicted herself, but maybe I'm being too picky. The story itself was a fun read.
