"Sacrifices For Kingdoms" by Patricia D'Arcy Laughlin is an intriguing contemporary romance that took me on a journey to many different continents to explore love, passion, and different cultures on different continents.
The main protagonists are Elizabeth, a sophisticated activist and philanthropist from Trinidad,and Michael, a socially conscious European prince. Each have their own agendas that are very different, however their worlds collide in this tale of romance, duty, desire and danger.
Theres plenty of steamy romance and serious social issues, public responsibility and private desire, which made it more than a typical love story. It was sensual and very provocative and full of intense emotion.
"Sacrifices For Kingdoms" was a compelling read that i thouroghly enjoyed, its a contemporary romance with a twist, making it a noteworthy addition to the genre.… (plus d'informations)

One word to sum this up: WOW. I am absolutely blown away. This isn’t a light read, it’s got a lot of nuance and depth to both the characters and story. Think romance meets suspense meets literary/women’s fiction. Laughlin does an amazing job of drawing the reader in with vivid descriptions and a captivating plot. This is far from boy meets girl meets compilation, with a much deeper theme running beneath the surface. I loved Elizabeth’s determination and fire to continue speaking out about what’s right even in the face of serious danger. I could totally understand Michael’s concern, but his own life is far from simple and complicated. The story moves along smoothly, and there’s enough tension and twists to keep you glued to the page. If this is an indication of what’s to come in this series, then I can’t wait to read more!… (plus d'informations)
