Book Description:
She's so special already, Lord, Daria Parker prayed. Now she has You, and I can't help but wonder if You might have something very remarkable and unfamiliar for our Shelby.
In the Land of Pendaran, lively, affectionate Shelby Parker was born to a simple life -- yet her mother, Daria, and those around her cannot help but notice the graces she possesses. Among those taking note of Shelby's winsome ways and tender heart are the king and queen of the House of Markham, who are seeking a new wife for their widowed son, Prince Nikolai.
To uphold a long-cherished tradition of the country, Shelby and Nikolai agree to an arranged marriage. But while Nikolai is a perfect gentleman at public functions, he remains distant and shy at home, leaving Shelby to ponder the inner workings of his heart. Will the prince ever love her as he did his first wife? Can the faith they share overcome the barriers between them?
A contemporary story of honor and commitment freely given and richly rewarded.

Beautiful love story without any suggestive content.

Absolutely loved this book! Even though it is unrealistic...a modern day fairy tale, don't we all love those? It's sweet and romantic. I keep it on my shelf and read it ever so often.

This is the first book I read of Lori Wick's and have since read everything she has written...a wonderfully, romantic story! A must read!!!

I have never read a story about such an actively religious society. There've been religious characters in books, but they're usually side characters who are regarded as a bit queer. It was really unique and refreshing to read about characters so deep in their faith that they pray at any time, about virtually anything - that's amazing to me, as a Christian who has serious problems with remembering and taking the time to pray.
The book itself isn't anything special; it might entertain some young adults but it is overall too simple for me - although it is certainly well-meaning!

The Princess is a wonderful love story to loose yourself in. Love grows in an arranged marriage. I found the Christian theme to be a bit preachy but these sections were short and to the point, easy to skim over.

A friend told me I would enjoy this book and she was right!
This is an excellent story with depth. It is a refreshing and rewarding read.
So I now highly recommend this book to you! I really think you will enjoy it.
You have my personal promise that is is a good moral book well worth reading.

My Mother liked this Lori Wick book too. She said once she started reading it, she couldn't put it down. Easy read. "She's so special already, Lord, Daria Parker prayed. Now she has You, and I can't help but wonder if You might something very remarkable and unfamiliar for our Shelby."

Lori Wick is one of my favorite authors and this is one of my favorite books. It is an inspirational fiction book but it never seemed 'preachy' to me. I thought the story and characters were well developed and the Christian element was weaved in perfectly. I would definitely recommend this book to someone looking for a good read.
Great little story - very touching and well developed characters.
