The Princess & The Bachelor
That was an awesome read…
I couldn’t put the book, needless to say I didn’t sleep much and I had to get up early = 🥱
Anyway, their love is beyond this world, it was predicted way before they were borne and nothing will stop them from loving each other nor stopped them from been together. Imagine you found The One destined for you, your soulmate and you have only seven months of sneaking around to be together because the girl is royalty and can’t marry a commoner, even if said commoner is a multi millionaire, who can have almost anyone… yeah! However, Kyle couldn’t live without her, any little crumbs is better than nothing &
at the end she will go through something extremely dangerous to ensure their future together. Their souls were connected as one and even all the forces who were trying to destroy them wouldn’t succeed.
Kyle’s jealousy was insane! 😆
Love it!!
PS. we need a sequel, please!! ( babies, business etc…)

More than I expected
This book was so much more than I expected❤️ Tola and Kyle met in such a comical way, that I really didn’t see how the two of them were going to survive. 😂 Kyle came off as Brash and controlling While Tola seemed a little un-phased by him until she could not deny how she really felt about this man that for her And her position of royalty in her country , was off limits. What was she going to do, was the question I kept asking myself
This story had a little bit of everything from ancient traditions, that transcend to 21st century. To love triangles, forbidden love and mystery. Trust me I wasn’t expecting any of this. 😳
This is my first experience reading a work by this author however I don’t think it will be my last. This was a very good book ❤️❤️❤️

Modern day African princess living undercover in America. Tola’s kind heart and selfless nature led her to work for Kyle as a nurse’s assistant to help a friend recovering from pneumonia. From their first meeting they were captivated by each other and their passion and love could not be contained, not by tradition or obligation. This was a beautiful story. Although young and reckless, their love for each other was invigorating. 4.5 Stars.

I really enjoyed this read. ❤️❤️❤️
This is about Tola and Kyle. Tola is an unknown princess and has a great destiny ahead of her. She is betrothed and is set to Wed in a few short months even though she doesn't love this man, but she will do it for her family and her people. In the need of space, she decides to help her friend Aly and, in doing so, meets Kyle, whom she needs to help due to an injury. He is a 29 year old millionaire who is a lot grouchy, and his "girlfriend" is even worse. When he meets Tola, he can't not look at her. Tola has the same reaction to Kyle, and this starts a beautiful relationship but creates a very tricky situation...
I really loved Tola. She was always so kind and fair and wanted to do right by her family even though she was at war with herself and her feelings for Kyle.
I did like Kyle but felt as though his attitude wasn't really necessary given her knew Tola's situation. She was always so honest with him and had no reason to doubt her. I get it, though. He was possessive and truly couldn't stand to be without Tola. Tola was his soul mate.
Tola and Kyle together were so beautiful that I loved them as a couple. They were perfect for each other in every way!
I hope we see more of Tola and Kyle. I want to see their future...
It's worth the read for sure!!!
Thank you so much to Ade and her team for giving me the opportunity to ARC read this book. I really appreciate it. All opinions are my own 🥰

Overpowering Love
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story. It was unique and with many twists and turns.
I did however feel that Kyle
's jealousy and behaviors were borderline abusive;
controlling.
All in all the writing and story were exceptional.

There wasn't one aspect of this book that was even remotely realistic, beliveable or likable, I found the princess highly unlikable Kyle should have dumped her uppity ass. she's been a princess all of 5 minutes and acting so very entitled, I didn't like her at all.

Kyle and Detola’s love story
1st I want to say this was an amazing book. 2nd this book has no sex details. I usually don’t read dry novels, however, this book was great. There is some grammatical errors, but, it does not take away from the story. Kudos to the author. Five stars.

Definietly their destiny
This was a sweet forbidden romance. Both Kyle and Tola were strong and stubborn lovers having to breach the constraints of a royal culture. Tola had to find a way to beak her contractual betrothal to another spoiled brat royal who was not worthy of her. She hated that she was the only one of her father's children to bring about a royal bloodline. She wanted to marry for love not duty. Kyle fell for her the minute he saw her. She gave him the reason to ditch his overbearing girlfriend who didn't get the hint.
Tola came up with a solution to give her father a royal heir and be able to marry the man she loved. It almost took her life but the man she loved and who loved her was the only one to bring her back from the edge so they can have their HEA.

Could not finish the book the concept is good but at some point the book became boring. It could have been more given the obsessive instalove, the book had more potential but it was bland, the sex parts could have more build up and complement better it was just lacking.
I had read almost all books by this author, this is the second book I could not finish. If you are going to write a love story just go all the way no fear, is a book after all, my advice to all writers of bwwm romance and please get a good editor.
Keep going I know it will only get better 🙏🏾

A fairy tale that turns real
I love the fact that Tola is down to earth, even though she is a real life princess. I like the fact that even though its a interracial relationship, skin color is not an issue. I cried when Kyle has to come to Tola's side during a crisis... Wonderful and entertaining book

True Destiny
A rollercoaster love story a bachelor so smitten it was laughable, A girlfriend who lost him to a nurses aide and a friend you coveted said nurses maid. The twist was both brilliant and tragic but ended with HEA.

Borrowed from Kindle Unlimited. I read through Chapter 7. There seem to be too many characters tied up in the romantic elements, just not my style for characters to be subject to mean chicks. I would recommend this to those who are drawn to the dramatics.

Super cute fast read, if Princess Diaries 2 is your jam you will love it. It has all the same tropes as the film version at least with an addition of whimsy from a rich cultural background.

Forces of Destiny was a good read. But Kyle's character really got on my nerves.

intriguing storyline
But really poorly written. I almost DNF. The royal/commoner trope is something I enjoy. The Uber jealousy and fighting not so much.

This book was not bad at all, but the writing in the beginning had me confused. I would say I was 25% through the book before I realized the FMC had stepped in and covered for her friend. The author should’ve showed the reader this earlier in the book. Cause I thought this was a love triangle. After deciphering that, the book went along well. Be prepared for magical elements intertwined into modern day which I thought was pretty cool. This book will show you the measures a person will go to in order to be with the person they love.

Ratings: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Royal love stories are always very interesting, with twists and turns and a few mysterious pasts. This royal story was one such book where The African Princess Tola was forced to follow the path destined by the King, who wanted to keep his daughter away from any danger. But when the princess fell in love with a handsome, successful businessman named Kyle, who was very well settled but unfortunately didn't belong to royal blood, would they be able to recognise the power of love and break the shackles of royalty? Would they be able to fight against destiny for their future together?
The start of this book was intriguing and powerful. The past of the Royals, their powers, and the consequences they all faced and how it affected their present and future kept me hooked. Their enemies who tried to make them fall and the past of the Princess's parents were also described in vivid detail.
I loved the relationship between Tola and her sisters.
I wish the author had added a few parts related to the secrets of the powers of Tola and her sisters and how the powers together could destroy enemies or the events of the future; with this, it would have been even more interesting.
Overall, it was a good read with interesting storyline.
All the best for all your future books.

Tropes: royal romance, forbidden romance, enemies-to-lovers, suspense, duty or love
She will have to choose her crown or his love. Tola is a royal princess, and her destiny is carved in stone. She can't fall in love. Her betrothed is counting down daily to their wedding. Her intention was to take a break from the shackles. Only, she met Kyle. He's not part of the plan. He has a girlfriend, and he's not of a royal background. Is he worthy of her crown and her heart? All Kyle needed was to heal from his injury, and then she walked in. He soon started laughing with Tola, but he knows she's holding back on him. He needs to know why she keeps insisting that all they have is the date marked on the calendar. She can't change his world and walk away from him. Can Kyle and Tola break the shackles of royalty and change Tola's destiny?
This story was a rather pleasant surprise. It was the first time I'd heard of this author, much less read her work, but I'm very glad I did. There was little spice, but when it came to the overall experience, it didn't matter. There were aspects throughout that became unusual surprises but so worth the time. I was entertained. If royal romance is a favorite trope, it couldn't hurt to add this one to your TBR. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

Forces of Destiny by A. Akinosho
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
✅ Forbidden Romance
✅ Enemies to Lovers
✅ Royal Romance
Princess Naomie Adetola Adetoye (Tola) had no idea she was a princess until her mother got sick. As if finding out you’re a princess isn’t enough, she also has a gift and limitations set on her because of this gift.
Tola is fine with becoming the next queen even though she has to marry a Royal whom she doesn’t love. She chooses one and is betrothed to him. With their wedding a mere 6 months away, she decides she needs a little time to be normal and also help her friend Aly.
Little does she know this one favor for her friend will change everything because she meets Kyle. Kyle is rude and dismissive and extremely attractive. Now Tola must help care for him while he recovers from knee surgery.
Can Tola and Kyle find a way around her betrothal to be together?
I really liked this book! It was a closed door romance so not much spice. The background and build up were really good.
Thank you, A. Akinosho and Passion Author Services, for an ARC of this book! My review is mine and freely given!

Very interesting!
This was an interesting story. My first book with African heritage in the storyline. Characters were fun. Main male character (Kyle) was overbearing at times but she was stubborn as well. Good book.
