Following a devastating series of misfortunes, Lady Aribella Bardsley has bravely shouldered the responsibilities of her household. But just as the bleakness of her situation threatens to overwhelm her, a summons arrives from the Queen with a providential offer: Aribella's presence is requested as a lady-in-waiting at the palace.

Prince Layton Wilhelm's family has clung to their neutrality in the war for far too long. As the youngest of the King of Oldenburg's eight sons, Layton is determined to prove his worth and is unwilling to turn a blind eye to Napoleon's encroaching privateers. When Layton embarks on a journey to England, it is for one purpose: to petition the British navy for aid. But when he becomes acquainted with the lovely Lady Aribella, he cannot deny their powerful connection. Amid the intrigues and schemes within the walls of the palace, Layton and Aribella know a future together is impossibleâ??but torn between loyalty and love, will they risk everything to follow their hearts?… (altro)

Oh my goodness! A Foreign Crown was a fun book to read. I loved that the book was based primarily in the royal court before the Regency of Prince George became King. I was fascinated with the intrigue and the illness of King George III.

I really liked Lady Aribella. She was a down to earth lady and was kind to everyone, including the servants. She was put in a hard position as a lady-in-waiting to the Queen. But somehow, she remained an example of grace and integrity.

Prince Layton was also a man of honor. He worked hard to help his country and wrangle his way through the social structure of the Royal Court of England. I loved the banter and the attraction that he and Aribella shared. With the setting, they had to be careful to not cause some sort of scandal or political faux pas. It was interesting to see how they were able to circumvent expectations while remaining true to each other.

This is the first book in a series and I can't wait to see what Jen Geigle Johnson will come up with next!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Foreign Crown by Jen Geigle Johnson. Prince Layton and Lady Aribella suited each other and I loved watching their relationship grow from friendship and mutual admiration to a full-blown secret romance with plenty of chemistry. Both characters feel duty-bound to others and must make difficult, life-changing decisions. More character development would have been welcome, but Layton and Aribella enchanted me as they were. A Foreign Crown felt light and was so entertaining that I didn’t want to put it down.

A Foreign Crown commences Jen Geigle Johnson’s Royal Regency Romance series and I can’t wait for more!

Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the author or publisher. All opinions in this review are my own. ( )
