The revelation #LAPLoveNotes #Romance @Nana Prah



Welcome to Love Notes.
This is a weekly meme where writers share six lines from their work-in-progress or published story.

This week I'm sharing from His Defiant Princess (Royal House of Saene Book #1)

“I insist that you not reveal how you met my sister while you’re here.”
Zawadi’s words snapped Amira back to the conversation.
Jake’s head tilted. “Who’s your sister?”
Zawadi waved a hand in her direction with a look of annoyance. “Amira, of course.”
Her blood ceased to flow as dread hit her. What had her brother just done?
This wasn’t how she’d wanted Jake to find out about her royal status. She should’ve told him a long time ago, but she hadn’t wanted him to treat her differently. People seemed to get irrational and behave with deference when they learned she was a real-life princess. She didn’t want that from him.
Friendship had been her goal when they’d started talking, and then, it had transitioned into a potential relationship. He’d liked the woman he’d gotten to know, not what people generally perceived a princess to be.

Cover Reveal: Royal House of Saene: The Princesses #RHOSaene


 My sister authors Empi Baryeh, Kiru Taye and I have been having an incredible time coming up with a series set in Bagumi (an African country from our imagination) about three amazing princesses. We are so proud of this series and know that you will love it. 


Welcome to the Sovereign Kingdom of Bagumi
The Kingdom of Bagumi is one of the last intact African monarch states. Treaties and alliances over several centuries have ensured their continued dominance in the region.
Each generation of the powerful and proud Royal House of Saene is bound by loyalty to their family and duty to protecting their nation.
However, soon, long-trusted traditions come under attack and change becomes inevitable, especially when love clashes with duty.

Royal House of Saene: The Princesses
#RHOSAENE #LOVEAFRICAPRESS
Release Date: Dec 14, 2018
Published by: Love Africa Press

The long-standing, distinguished Royal House of Saene is about to be rocked by three sexy, determined interlopers. Princesses Amira, India and Isha may have to choose between sacrificing their hearts or their kingdom.

A spoilt princess and a commoner…a match made online.
A widowed princess and a reluctant king…a match shrouded in suspicion.
A crusading princess and a freedom fighter…a match built on conflict.

BOOK ONE: His Defiant Princess by Nana Prah
Genre: Contemporary Romance
BLURB
Princess Amira Saene has always done the right thing when it came to her beloved Kingdom of Bagumi. Yet her unorthodox online relationship with a man across the sea has derailed her from cultural norms. She doesn’t care. After a year of communicating, the man she’s developed feelings for comes to visit. Their chemistry is intense and she tumbles the rest of the way into love. With the threat of war looming over her country, Amira is thrown in the middle as a peacemaker through an arranged marriage.

Jake Pettersen never thought he’d meet the woman of his dreams, much less online. Flying thousands of miles to West Africa to meet her verifies that the feelings he’s developed are real. Too bad her family doesn’t think he’s worthy of her. When he learns that Amira has been betrothed, he must decide whether fight for her or accept the loss for the sake of her homeland.
Is their happiness worth the devastation of her country?

BOOK TWO: His Inherited Princess by Empi Baryeh

India Saene, Princess of Bagumi, must enter a marriage alliance to save her kingdom from an economic crisis. Tragedy strikes when her husband of a few hours is killed in an accident on the way to their honeymoon. She recovers from a coma two weeks later to discover she has been inherited by her husband's younger brother!

Sheikh Omar El Dansuri has never wanted to be king, nor does he desire a wife. However, when his older brother dies, he not only becomes the future king of Sudar, but he also inherits his brother’s bride through an age-old tradition. Falling for the headstrong India is out the question especially when evidence points to her as his brother’s killer.

Neither India nor Omar wanted this marriage, but the passion that burns between them cannot be denied. When India’s secret is revealed, will either of them survive the consequences?

BOOK THREE: His Captive Princess by Kiru Taye
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Isha Saene has perfected the act of balancing her life—a celebrated corporate negotiator spearheading an international trade deal that could catapult her country to one of the fastest growing mid-sized economies in Africa, and a loyal First Princess of Bagumi Kingdom set to seal ties with a neighbouring nation through marriage.

Until one careless moment knocks her carefully choreographed life into chaos.

Zain Bassong has always fought for the underdog—a patriot dedicated to fighting against the oppression of his people by the country's elite. He believes the pen is mightier than the sword and chooses the diplomatic route, no matter how many times he is arrested by the repressive regime.

Until devastating news triggers a chain reaction.

Isha and Zain are thrown together and their lives change. For better or worse? They will have to figure that out before it’s too late.

Review: Taste for Temptation (Temptation 1) by Phyllis Bourne

The Blurb
Only one man can satisfy her craving…
No one dumps Brandi Collins! After being left at the altar, the Nashville high school teacher plans to get back at her ex by undergoing a major transformation. But how is she supposed to shed those extra pounds with that intoxicating aroma wafting into her condo? And the tempting smell of mouth-watering chocolate has nothing on the handsome hunk who’s creating the irresistible confections.
Adam Ellison has given up everything for his dream of winning the International Chocolate Pastry Competition. His voluptuous new neighbor knocking on his door at three in the morning is a distraction he doesn’t need!
Now only one thing will satisfy Adam’s craving for Brandi. But what happens when she discovers her struggling pastry chef is really the heir to a multi-million-dollar corporate empire? Will Brandi still be there intoxicating him with her kisses…or will Adam lose his chance for a lifetime of love?

My Review
I’m a sucker for romances that feature chocolate. Not only did the treats that Adam created sound irresistible, but he did too. Yes he was handsome, rich, and could bake up a storm, but he wasn’t a perfect man. He had issues which drove him and that made him a more enticing character.

Brandi was an amazing heroine. Her relationship with her mother was an interesting one and I felt badly for what she had to contend with and often times wondered how she was able to. But she was a strong woman and that made her endure. I loved the heat between Adam and Brandi and rooted for them from their first encounter.

One thing I also have to say is that the writing was amazing. It was descriptive, but not burdened, and the images it left in my mind still have me chuckling.

I give this book five out of five cake shaped chocolate bars.


I purchased this book from Amazon.

Make a Date With Harlequin- Amazing Videos


Hi Everyone,
 Harlequin has this fantastic marketing thing going on. They take real life women and match them with book heroes. The pictures and videos are very entertaining. I'm going to share all of them because I can. 

A Perfect Caress is my Harlequin Kimani novel. Tall, dark, and handsome with an adorable short 'fro - Dante would love to be your book boyfriend, but first you'd have to deal with Lanelle (not a situation I'd want to put myself in). 


Enough about me, prepare to be entertained. Slip into romance with Harlequin.

Isn't she (and it) pretty? A Perfect Caress #AARomance #Romance

When I first received my box of glorious books from Harlequin the first person I thought to send a copy to was Empi Baryeh. Not only are we in the same country, but we have hung out several times, she has helped me with my writing and book promotion, I love her writing, and we are review partners along with Constantine. 

Upon reaching Accra and picking up my books (and dancing to the joyous music only I could hear), I headed to Empi's office and dropped off a copy. Here she is holding my cover. Aren't both of them stunning.

A Perfect Caress will be released in paperback on November 22nd and in e-book on December 1st. I'm excited for both. In the meantime you can preorder your copy and wait anxiously for it to be delivered to your e-reader. 


The Blurb
From the very first touch… 
The moment suave businessman Dante Sanderson brushes hands with Lanelle Murphy, he can't get her out of his head. The guarded beauty resists all of his polished attempts at seduction. To soften the pain in her past, she's dedicated her life and family fortune to helping others, not chasing sexy millionaires like Dante.  
Something about Lanelle makes Dante want to open his heart like never before. He knows their encounters are destiny. Lanelle is sure their sparks mean another heartache is in the making. Yet her cherished new project—a state-of-the-art neonatal unit—brings them together. From charity ball dances to strolls in Milan, desire pushes her…right into his arms. But will Lanelle be able to seize this sweet second chance at love?
