Paradox A.R.T. | King of the Crown Imperials
With every book I release, I try to build an Advanced Readers Team (ART) to build buzz for the book and bring in early reviews upon the book’s launch. Below are some of the Paradox ART reviews for this book.
Several reviewers often post the same reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or Bookbub, as well as on their social media feeds. Links on this page will often link to the social media post, if available. If not, it will link to the Amazon, Goodreads, or Bookbub review (in that order, depending on availability).

This book is unique. I love how the author combined the tropes of falling for royalty and fake engagement with more serious and important topics. We have politics, intrigue, intricate world-building, love, fighting for what you believe in, secrets—all in a retelling of one of the most interesting stories in the bible.

KING OF THE CROWN IMPERIALS -- When I was younger I read a lot of Biblical fiction, though I haven’t much lately. Hadassah (Esther) was a favorite. Her story and “for such a time as this” was one main lesson passed on to me by my mother. I adored how well this book fits into the description “Esther Biblical Fiction.” It embodies it.

KING OF THE CROWN IMPERIALS -- Wow. This story was…inspiring. While I was so excited to reach the epic ending, I didn’t quite want the story to finish.

KING OF THE CROWN IMPERIALS -- It's such a beautiful, grace-filled story highlighting God's work in the lives of His children. Add to it the fact that it features a Queen Esther retelling coupled with the Royals and Fake Dating tropes, and this book had me picking it up every chance I could!

KING OF THE CROWN IMPERIALS -- Queen Esther has always fascinated me and I love the way Ms. Alonzo has set her story in modern times. This book is full of suspense and intrigue. Vivienne and Philip are interesting and realistic.

The world building is amazing and very complex. I appreciated the maps and pictures as it helped my imagination to understand a little more clearly. I thought it was very unique and helped immerse me in the story world the author created... This story is engrossing, filled with relatable characters who have had to endure horrible tragedies in their lives, yet still they press on.
