"In Search of a Prince," by Toni Shiloh
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?
This book was a readers version of a rom-com movie. You know there will be a happy ending, you just have to work through some trials and tribulations until you get there. The relationship with Brielle and her grandfather was a delight. I loved the deep friendship she had with her BFF Iris. Then of course her romance with Tomori. It has something for everyone.
Her "Batchelor" type dates made me laugh. All in all a fun, easy to read book.
Stars out of 5 : 4 A bit too "light hearted" for me. Not as much substance as I would like. The "who-dun-it" was interesting, but I did guess who it was. This is the first book I have read by this author.
