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).

Wow, what an awesome book. King of the Crown Imperials has fairy tale vibes along with being a kind of Esther retelling.

Rest assured this is not a typical fairy tale or typical Christian fiction for that matter. The two main characters, Prince Philip and his fake fiancé Vivienne, will tug at your heartstrings as you are immersed from the very beginning of this high stakes romance. I found myself so immersed in this story that I wished I had the time to sit all day and binge read from beginning to end.

What a remarkable, uplifting, beautiful story! This is a modern twist on the biblical story of Queen Esther with a nod to other ancient literature woven into the tale. Told with both grace and flair, I was entranced from the first chapter and loved the whole adventure!

What a wonderful story! As I read, Vivienne’s prays and affirmations brought up issues from my own psyche. The story entertained me; the messages grounded me.

I’m not one for Biblical fiction, so I was a little hesitant picking this up. But I’d heard that it was set in modern times with excellent world-building, so I thought I’d give it a try. WOW! The author instantly became a must-read for me, and I couldn’t put it down.

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.

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.

This story has wonderful characters. Strong Christian principles are displayed by both Philip and Vivienne such as depending on the Lord for strength, courage, guidance, and direction. They seek His will over their own.

"Who knows, Vivienne, if just like Esther, you came to this royal position for such a time as this?" The book's cover drew me to this story and I was not disappointed!
