Product Description

Prince Nicolai is heir to the throne and to his people’s hearts. But agreeing to an arranged marriage for the good of his people, the prince finds that his new bride requires special tenderness if he is to win her heart.



From the Back Cover
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 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enchanting story, August 30, 2000
By Kathy (Geneva, OH United States) - See all my reviews
The Princess was the first Wick novel I read, and since then I have read every one of her books. What I love about her is that you know exactly where she's coming from, her faith and love for the Lord saturates each book she writes, and this one is no exception. Perhaps the best part about this novel is the fantasy of it; a handsome, contemporary prince in an imaginary land marries, and falls in love with a normal citizen. Isn't that why we read fiction- to be taken away from everyday life for a few hours? I highly recommend this book and any other of Wick's, for her sweet stories and uncompromising commitment to Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lori Wick delivers an awesome story, November 19, 2000
By Amy (KY USA) - See all my reviews
I am a very picky reader. Basically I read Bodie Thoene and Linda Chaikin. I picked up the Princess one day and didn't put it down until I was finished. Shelby and Nikolai are very complex characters, Christian, but still flawed. They seem so real. They're not perfect, and Ms. Wick makes this obvious.Some authors don't develop the characters all that well. Spiritual characters often seem like they're perfect. While we are reminded of Shelby's sweetness and positive qualities, we're also aware of her mistakes and shortcomings.

Nikolai is also a very believable character. He is compliant with tradition, but will have nothing to do with Shelby because he doesn't want her to replace Yvette. Yet he is a loving and caring person, so he realizes his mistakes.

This story is about Nikolai and Shelby coming together. Shelby is ready for Nick to love her, but he's not ready. As soon as he begins to realize what a wonderful person she is, it might be too late for her to love him. You can pretty much predict the ending, but that didn't bother me. The excellence of this story is in how we reach the ending. The struggles they go through to love each other and act as a normal husband and wife even though nothing about their relationship was normal.

The plot of this story is excellent. It's not your typical sappy romance. It deals with a lot of issues like learning to love. When Nick is in pain over losing Yvette, you feel so bad for him, yet you feel Shelby's loneliness as well.

The development of Pendaran is excellent as well. I even noticed how Ms. Wick displays special characteristics of this fictional country. There are hints of a different dialect and you can tell the culture is different.

I absolutely love this book. It's wonderful. I would suggest this to anyone out there. It's very spiritual and entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars A charming and easy to follow book!, October 28, 1999
By A Customer
I loved this novel. The characters, setting, plot all seemed so real and made you want to be apart of it all. I'm only 15, and this has given me a life lesson in love - I think anyone should read this. It has faith, romance, suspense, and fun.
