To Win a Prince by Toni Shiloh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Source: Received to Review

Genre: Christian Fiction

Book Description:  As a fashion aficionado and best friend of the queen of the African island country Oloro Ilé, Iris Blakely dreams of using her talent to start a business to help citizens in impoverished areas. But when she discovers that Ekon Diallo will be her business consultant, the battle between her desires and reality begins.

Ekon Diallo has lost everything: his princely title, his material possessions, his friends, and the respect of his countrymen. To pay for his actions against Oloro Ilé, he's forced to assist the charismatic Iris Blakely--but he can't allow his heart to distract him from regaining his status.

As Iris strives to get her business off the ground while keeping her heart intact, will her dreams of happily ever after survive the challenges she faces? 

My thoughts: Toni Shiloh has created a beautiful country with Oloro Ilé. I really enjoyed In Search of a Prince. This companion novel did not disappoint. I love how she created a vibrant culture. I would still love to visit if it weren't a fictional place.

Iris is the best friend of Queen Brielle. The male MC is Ekon. He was part of a plot to keep the throne from Brielle in "In Search of a Prince". This is the story about his punishment and Iris who sees the good in people and situations. This is also a story about redemption and forgiveness.

Iris and Ekon have chemistry from the start. The problem is that he is performing community service by working for her. It creates a hurdle that must be overcome for them to give in to their mutual attraction. The love story is a slow burn. It takes time for them to get to know and trust each other. There is also the problem that Iris is the best friend of Brielle. It's not easy to fall in love with the man who worked to overthrow her. It makes it a little awkward.

There is so much to recommend in this book. It is Christian Fiction. There are religious elements that are vital to the plot of the book.
