After a failed marriage and having to raise her daughter as a single mom, Harlow Shelton decided to return to school where she was reminded that the students there were much younger than her 37 years in Heaven in His Arms, a short story in this collection penned by author Raelynn Blue.
While Harlow dealt with the age difference of her classmates, she was unbelievably surprised to find herself attracted to a 20 year-old student and flattered that the feelings were mutual. Their coming together was anything but easy, the tug-of-war between them difficult at times, each out to prove something to the other. But will the tentative relationship last, or will Harlow allow her insecurities to cause her to miss out on the heaven she could experience in his arms?
Queen Captures Kind is a wonderful story of kings, queens, slaves, and romance set in Saika, the capitol city of Aadan. When Princess Marjani Kao was a little girl, her father, Omari Kato, captured a slave to work for him. Dax Merrick may have been a slave, but Marjani became his best friend, and her father allowed him favor that he would never allow any slave. But when Dax disappeared one day without so much as a `goodbye,’ Marjani was angry and so decided to become the warrior her father was training to her be.
In later years, Marjani did become that warrior, but her country was in jeopardy of being overtaken and her father made an agreement with the opposition that she could not see herself fulfilling. With a plan in her heart, Marjani carried it out in defiance against her father’s wishes, praying to her God that she would succeed. Will her plan work, and in the interim will she meet and marry the man who is the answer to their problems, or will she have to go back to her country and comply with her father’s wishes? Normally I am not fascinated with stories of queens and warriors, but Queen Captures Kind is a fantastic read.
I recommend this book to everyone who loves a romance and stories that prove that love covers a multitude of faults, whether too old or too young, or possible opposites of any kind.
