Happy Monday! If this is a long weekend for you, I hope you have plenty of reading time! 🙂 Today I am sharing my review of Toni Shiloh’s latest book, To Win a Prince.

The Basics

Title: To Win a Prince

Author: Toni Shiloh

Publication Date: September 13, 2022

Genre: Contemporary Romance

My Rating: 4 Stars

From the Back Cover:

As a fashion aficionado and best friend of the queen of the African island country Ọlọrọ Ilé, Iris Blakely dreams of using her talent to start a sustainable clothing line to help citizens in impoverished areas and honor the country’s resources. But when she discovers that Ekon Diallo–the man who betrayed her best friend–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 fellow Ọlọrans. To pay for his actions against Ọlọrọ Ilé, he’s forced to assist the charismatic Iris Blakely–but he can’t allow his heart to distract him from regaining his status.

Though they come from vastly different worlds, Iris and Ekon are both determined to reach their goals, and the only way to do that is to work together–if they can just keep their hearts from getting in the way . . .

My Review

Get ready for another delightful royal story by Toni Shiloh! To Win a Prince picks up where In Search of a Prince left off – I was so glad that Iris got her own book! Ekon is also familiar to anyone who read the previous book, but he was not a likable character, so I was interested to learn more about him in this one. Ms. Shiloh did a fantastic job of showing the transformation he went through, along with his backstory and the motives behind his actions in the first book. His journey to faith felt natural and authentic, which can be hard to pull off in Christian fiction. Iris was the perfect upbeat, truth-telling, faithful friend he needed, and their friendship brought a lot of growth in both of their lives. Fans of inspirational contemporary romance with heart will fall for Iris and Ekon in To Win a Prince!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
