My rating: 💛💛💛💛
This is the second book I have read by Toni Shiloh and the same things I enjoyed in the first book stood out in this one: characters focused on God, bringing Him into their everyday struggles and questions and a clear focus that He is a part of their lives, not just when they are in difficult situations.
This story was a beautiful message of the prodigal son – the main male lead, Ekon had it all, but lost it with one wrong choice – everyone else gave up on him, but through Iris, he experienced that God doesn’t give up on him and readers are gifted with a story of redemption.
Then the romantic tension between Ekon and Iris will hit the heartstrings of romance fans.
I also listened to the audiobook and the narrator did very well on the African accents of the characters.

About the book:
As a fashion aficionado and best friend of the queen of the African island country Oloro Ilé, Iris Blakely dreams of using her talent to start a business to help citizens in impoverished areas. But when she discovers that Ekon Diallo will be her business consultant, the battle between her desires and reality begins.
Ekon Diallo has lost everything: his princely title, his material possessions, his friends, and the respect of his countrymen. To pay for his actions against Oloro Ilé, he's forced to assist the charismatic Iris Blakely--but he can't allow his heart to distract him from regaining his status.
As Iris strives to get her business off the ground while keeping her heart intact, will her dreams of happily ever after survive the challenges she faces?
