Summary: Book review on A King in Love
Review: A KING IN LOVEA King in Love is one of Barabra Cartland's many Historical Romances, which has captured women¡¯s fantasies worldwide. This delicate style of Romance Genre is only 1 novel of Barabra Cartlands 700 romance and non-fiction stories, that were printed all over the world. This historical romance is set in Aldross, where a beautiful Princess named Zita resides. Princess Zita falls in love with a King from Valdastien, who is intended to marry Zita¡¯s eldest ugly sister Sophie. The story creates a twist at the beginning when Princess Zita is forbidden to see the King when he visits her country, as Zita's mother fears that the King will want to marry Zita, due to her beauty, instead of Sophie. Due to her wild heart Princess Zita breaks all the rules and disguises herself as a maid, to capture a glimpse of the king before he changes for the ball. Naturally the King is struck by her beauty and falls in love with her. Princess Zita is restricted to express her desires for the king, as she fears her parent¡¯s disapproval, as the King was intended for her sister. The romantic tale continues to unravel, as the King continues to try and win the Princesses affections, unaware of her true affections and that she is from royal blood. Romantic scenes of forest horse rides and mountain trips cause a magical romantic atmosphere for the reader to envision. A hint of tension and suspense is created throughout the story as Zita tries to hide her real identity from the King; so that her mother does not find out that she has been visiting him socially. The passion between the 2 characters in this romantic tale, cause female readers to desire to be in the princess¡¯s position. Barbara Cartlands style and expression of writing has captured the audience of mainly the female gender between the ages of 15 and above. I rated the romantic tale very highly, giving it 4 stars out of 5. It is defiantly worth the read. This is the type of romance novel that leaves a light hearted, soft and emotional feeling inside.
