A sensual, timely, contemporary romance, about a philanthropic beauty from exotic Trinidad, a modern-day socially-conscious European Prince, and the other loves, lives, and lies, that complicate their potentially idyllic life. The story begins with the warm sweetness of falling in love before becoming inflamed with passion, intrigue, and danger.No Cinderella, Elizabeth is sophisticated, wealthy, and hides life-changing secrets. Not merely a figurehead, ambitious courageous fun-loving Prince Michael also has secrets, some life-threatening, all hazardous. Both harbor fears for the survival of humanity and do their parts to alleviate them with speeches. Elizabeth's is titled 'God Has No Gender,' Michael's, 'Climate Change, Man's Fate Or Folly?'More afraid for her safety than his own, Michael is determined, at any sacrifice, to stop her from doing more of her controversial speeches. But Elizabeth uses them to fund an important charity she co-founded. He rightfully struggles with fears of losing the monarchy, and waiting to, honorably, unravel the mysteries of Elizabeth's haunting past. Learning about it takes him to a place he never dreamed possible. Their vividly titillating, sometimes humorous, lovemaking, contrasts captivatingly with their involvements in serious social issues. As shocking secrets are progressively revealed, loyalties become divided, but will love conquer all? Set in the USA, Europe, and the Caribbean, the love saga takes readers on an enthralling, enigmatic, erogenous but earnest journey through their exciting lives, crossing continents and cultures, places and races, until an assassin's bullet hits its mark. Faced with an unexpected sacrifice, Elizabeth's formidable dilemma is how to save both the opposing Kingdoms she flabbergastingly discovers she loves equally. EXCERPTS: Without love, nothing else really means anything> I believe all things are possible, and until there is proof of something, I keep an open mind> You control the mind, you control the purse!> Imagine the heaven on earth that is within our reach, if people in power were multi-faceted because of gender balance> A mother can love ten children equally, why not two men?> The earliest statues or figurines unearthed are, female!> Unlike the Goddess, there is no discovered evidence of the male God's original existence.> Based on archaeological findings, she existed from the beginnings of human development.> There is not one word credited to be uttered by Jesus that his disciples, preachers, should be only males.> Why would the founding fathers of Christianity propagate denigration of the female of the human species, the gender who suffers the most to continue it - relegating her to be "subservient" to her husband - when the man for whom they founded the Christian religion never preached or practiced such abominations!> I feel his heart beating in rhythm with mine. It's as though we are one, my Prince and I.> I will always love you, till death and even beyond.… (plus d'informations)

"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. ( )

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! ( )
