When a Princess Proposes

Written by Kerrelyn Sparks

Narrated by Jill Tanner

Aerthlan’s five Embraced queens have reigned for twenty years in peace secured by the power of their magic. But now a new and insidious threat has appeared to test a new generation.

Desire and Deception

All Princess Eviana needs is an escape. Possessed of an unfortunate and unusual Embraced gift, which she’s been banned from using, she required no training. Now, her overprotective parents want her to wed. As a result, the palace is crammed with obnoxious noblemen. … Until Quentin, the enigmatic eagle shifter and royal spy, maneuvers
several of the unsuitable suitors into revealing their most embarrassing secrets before the court. Finally, Eviana has an excuse to free herself. If only her family knew the blow that’s shaken her: golden-eyed Quentin’s refusal to let her near …

Heroic, but low born, Quentin’s infatuation with Eviana is as inappropriate as it is unshakable. He must keep away from her, for his own sake. But after a series of suspicious deaths, and the princess’s narrow escape from kidnapping, Quentin knows that only together can they expose the danger stalking Aerthlan’s
Embraced. On foot, in disguise, they’ll need trust and quick wits to uncover the vicious conspiracy closing around them. But finding the truth might break down their own defenses as well …

Delightful read! I devoured it in a day, perfect escapism. I was able to jump right in and enjoy the world without having previously read the rest of the series.

When a Princess Proposes by Kerrelyn SparksFantasy. Spin off from the Embraced series aka Embraced by Magic #6. Second generation. The children from the Isle of Secrets are now grown as are the children of the original sisters / Queens of the Embraced nations. Eviana has grown up very sheltered and feels trapped by the gentle handcuffs of her parents protecting her. Quentin has been in love with Evie for years. When an idea to help caused problems within the kingdom, the two end up on an investigation and adventure that changes everything. It was wonderful revisiting this world. And learning that an ability may be based on what is needed at the time is intriguing. Specifically the abilities in this book, more than previous were unusual. I admit I felt bad for The Confessor. Loved the adventure and conclusion. At least for now. Satisfying, a momentary sad, and happiness overall. I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I own the full series and will buy this as well to keep.

I had a lot of fun with this book! I have been a fan of this series from the start and was really excited to learn that there would be books featuring the younger generation. I just love the world that these books are set in and the various abilities that the characters possess. This book had all of the action, excitement, and romance that I hoped it would have.Eviana is a princess and has lived a rather sheltered life and nobody knows what her powers might be. Quinn is an eagle shifter who works as a messenger and spy for the different realms. Quinn has been in love with Evianna for years but feels like he is beneath her. When they go on a mission together they get all the time together that they need to really get to know each other. I really liked Eviana and Quinn and thought that they had a lot of chemistry together.I loved that this book features not only a wonderful romance but also an exciting plot. I was really worried for the characters several times during the story. They proved to be very brave and worked incredibly well as a team. I liked that we get to see a bit into the life the villains of the story live. I thought that seeing their motivations added a lot to the story. The secondary characters were fantastic and I was thrilled to see not just one but two romances worked into this story.I would recommend this book to others. Once I started reading this book, I didn’t want to put it down. I love the world-building and the creative abilities of many of the characters in this series. I cannot wait to read more books set in this world.I received a digital review copy of this book from Kensington Books via NetGalley.
