In Search of a Prince

De: Toni Shiloh

Narrado por: Tamika Katon-Donegal

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?

LOVE IT

LOVED IT. Love the story and the characters. Narration was amazing as well. I will listen to this book again.

When reality bites, this is the way to go.

1st. The narration was incredible. Tamika truly draws you in. Toni's writing is re-dunc-ulous. Her descriptions are so wonderfully detailed, You feel like you are right there. I wanted to see all of Iris' designs, walk through the palace, chill on the royal beach, spend a day at the lake...

What A Beautiful Story!

I absolutely loved this story about a woman whose father was a prince. Long story short, since the prince was deceased and the King was ill, the daughter would be next in line for the throne. I encourage you to enjoy this ride in Africa!

Best book I read this year!

This so far is one of my favorites this year! I love how they took everything to prayer. Every decision, both happy & sad. I love the love story & how that was laid out. Even though I was about to figure out who did what pretty quickly the reason behind it had me shocked, I love having a story in Africa & not focus only on racial issues. I seriously love this book & can't wait to see what else this author brings out.

In Search of a Prince

This book flowed and despite its length, it kept you wondering what was going to happen next. The writing and reading performance was so thorough that my mind was mentally walking the halls at the palace, wondering thru the busy market, enjoying the beach, participating in Council Meetings, and other activities that Her Highness undertook. My only disappointment was that it took Brielle over 20 chapters to try to amend with her mother, and that she negated fully grandfather's role in the separation. The choices of a prince were God-awful, and her courage in that process was admirable. The "whodunnit" was an expected twist in the novel, but my suspicion was spot on, but I guessed for a different reason that what was given, which that was also a surprise and well handled thru DNA testing. Book was 13 hours in length and I enjoyed every chapter. During my listening, my comments to self was that there was no editing errors, and that Toni Shiloh could tell a good story. This could be my favorite book of the year, and is definitely the favorite of the 151 books I've read during 2022!
I would truly give this book 10 stars.

Royalty, Romance, and a Renegade

I loved this book! I actually read the sequel first, before realizing it was part of a series, so I was familiar with some of the plot lines. It didn't even matter. I fell in love with the main character, Brielle, the fictional country and the stories. Romance, reunion, scandal, faith and intrigue are all expertly woven together, and a few moments brought me to tears. Highly recommend this one!

Take a romantic trip to Africa!

I so enjoyed this story and the narration was great! So nice to read something fresh and unique.

Wonderful Story

I love the way that the main characters prayed and sought God! Wonderful Story! Hope this book blesses others.

Excellent story and narration

I really enjoyed this story and the narration. Both were really authentic and held my attention from the beginning.

Great narrator for this charming story!

This is the story of a girl who discovers she’s heir to an African throne. There’s love, complicated family dynamics, sorrow, and intrigue. At the center is a believable and likable heroine. Great story! The narrator is perfect for this novel! Thumbs up!!
