Oh man, To Win a Prince is a great read. Toni Shiloh flat out smashed this enchanting sequel. Following on from the hugely successful In Search of a Prince, book two picks up with Iris, the now Queen’s best friend setting up a fashion business in Oloro Ile.

Disgraced former prince Ekon Diallo is sentenced to help Iris navigate the business regulations and cultural requirements for such an endeavor. This is part of his punishment after a failed attempted to prevent Brielle from taking the throne.

Confession time – I’m a sucker for a bad boy with an attitude. Especially one who meets God and gets all straightened out. Not perfect, but right before the Lord. And oh my how Ekon ticks all those emotional boxes.

I loved the glimpse into Ekon’s family. No one writes a rotten parent better than Toni Shiloh. Readers will love watching Ekon become his own man, and then God’s. And if you’re like me, you’ll cheer Iris on as she sets up her business, putting the designers and seamstresses of Oloro Ile on the map.

The faith arc is strong as you’d expect from Toni Shiloh. The love story made me tear up. Highly recommended.
