I loved this second book in the Royals of Andelar series by Joy Crain. The Trials of the Title focuses on the brother of Aiden, who was the crown Prince we read about in book one. Alexander was introduced in book one, but this is his story, after Aiden decides not to abdicate the throne, which sort of leaves Alexander feeling like a spare.
It is also the story of Princess Sara from the neighboring, Asian island country of Harmon. The story opens by informing the reader that her father, the king is dead. We discover quite quickly that he was nowhere near the kind of king Andelar has, and Sara is next in line to become queen, as long as she marries a royal. Unfortunately, it is an arranged marriage looming in her future.
Both royals need time and space, and head to America. It's not really a surprise that they will eventually meet up, but the reader has to wonder if and when and how they will tell the truth about themselves. And of course what obstacles they will have come between them and their happily ever after.
I have to say, I loved the way the author had both of them be royals. So many times royal romances have one of the couple being the Royal, and the other being a commoner and then they fall in love. This story had plenty of other obstacles thrown at the couple. So, even though some things were a bit predictable, there were plenty of surprises along the way.
I loved that we got to see Aiden and Missy and get caught up with their story. And there were other characters we had met before, plus new ones that I grew to love.
And faith played an important part in the story, which I always appreciate.\
Great story, and one I highly recommend. Just make sure you've read book one.
