I usually can’t find time to enjoy a good book because I am always working on my own book projects. However, I made time this time because I had an inkling this new book would be just that good<\/em>, and it did not disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is official launch day for Joanna Alonzo’s new book, King of the Crown Imperials.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s my 5-star book review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cServe the King of kings first and foremost; serve the kingdom next. You cannot fail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insightful words spoken by an ailing King Edward to his once wayward son, Prince Philip, who was bracing himself for the impact of a kingdom thrust upon him during the threat of war with a neighboring island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rest assured this is not a typical fairy tale or typical Christian fiction for that matter. The two main characters, Prince Philip and his fake fianc\u00e9 Vivienne, will tug at your heartstrings as you are immersed from the very beginning of this high stakes romance. I found myself so immersed in this story that I wished I had the time to sit all day and binge read from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joanna Alonzo is a brilliant author who has weaved together an emotionally charged masterpiece inspired by the biblical story of Queen Esther. I couldn\u2019t wait to turn the page to see what happened next. Throughout the drama, I had to remind myself that the emotions I was feeling were based on fictional characters. My mind knew that, but my heart had a hard time not being truly fixated on whether the story would have a happy ending. There were so many twists and turns that I didn\u2019t know who to love, who to trust, who to pity, and yes\u2014who to despise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suffice it to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the intrigue, the romance, the drama, the suspense, the powerful storytelling, and the truth hidden inside the pages. Although technically a work of fiction, we can all learn from this book and be inspired to serve God first and foremost. While Philip and Vivienne thought they came from vastly different backgrounds, they discovered, just as we all should, that humanity is interconnected regardless of where we come from or where we may try to hide. All is not fair in love and war, but if you trust God above all else, you cannot fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, buy this book! My only regret is that it ended. I am now officially an addict and can\u2019t wait to read the next book in this series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
