A Foreign Crown Blog Tour and Giveaway

Monday, August 10, 2020

Following a devastating series of misfortunes, Lady Aribella Bardsley has bravely shouldered the responsibilities of her household. But just as the bleakness of her situation threatens to overwhelm her, a summons arrives from the Queen with a providential offer: Aribella’s presence is requested as a lady-in-waiting at the palace. 

Prince Layton Wilhelm’s family has clung to their neutrality in the war for far too long. As the youngest of the King of Oldenburg’s eight sons, Layton is determined to prove his worth and is unwilling to turn a blind eye to Napoleon’s encroaching privateers. When Layton embarks on a journey to England, it is for one purpose: to petition the British navy for aid. But when he becomes acquainted with the lovely Lady Aribella, he cannot deny their powerful connection. Amid the intrigues and schemes within the walls of the palace, Layton and Aribella know a future together is impossible—but torn between loyalty and love, will they risk everything to follow their hearts?

Review - The romance was interesting, but when the author starting talking about the dynamics of the court, my interest shifted and I was more intrigued with the side drama than the romance. Johnson makes history come alive in her story. There was a lot of interesting dynamics and power plays with the English court. It was interesting to see the interpretation in fiction. After I finished the story, I read more about it online. It would be interesting to see if the author explores more courts in this series. Johnson makes historical settings come alive in her writing. The story was well written and was an interesting read. I would recommend reading it. To learn more, click here.
