A Reluctant Queen - Giveaway and Review

Imagine being considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. That some how God has blessed you with that gift. Now imagine that you are being asked to hide your birth right and venture into the King's Palace to see if he will chose you as his wife and next queen.

That is exactly the storyline behind the novel A Reluctant Queen by Joan Wolf, who beautifully enhances the Biblical story of Esther. Being able to hold true to the Biblical truths and still weave in likeability into her characters, she creates a romance story that will capture the hearts of its readers.

You can feel the true struggle in Esther's mind as she worries over being considered the next queen and wondering how she will be used by God to save her people. Her concerns are demonstrated when she begins to fall in love with the king and wonders just how will she find a way to tell him she is a Jew when he values truth and loyalty from his subjects and those who serve him.

I received A Reluctant Queen compliments of Litfuse Publicity and Thomas Nelson Publishers for my honest review. This one is beautifully crafted to take the reader more in depth to the true story of love and betrayal in the retelling of Esther. This one rates 5 out of 5 stars and I would highly recommend this one. I can't wait to see if more Biblical stories will follow in the same pattern. I personally feel in draws the reader in to wanting to read the Bible after becoming immersed in this novel. The reader must remember that this is a fictional story based on the Biblical one of Esther so the details contained within are there to enhance the story, not rewrite the actual one.
