The Princess He Must Marry is a unique take on a second chance marriage. Jadesola James has 
taken the Twelve Dancing Princesses and turned it into this rich tapestry of a fairy tale.
Brilliant, brilliant concept. Two people who feel trapped by their royal families see their only solution to escape is to marry each other. Together Akil and Tobi construct a deal and at the end of their ceremony go their separate ways but not before sharing an earth shattering kiss. Three years later when Akil desperately needs Tobi’s help, she reluctantly joins his side to travel to his home and becomes his Queen.
Akil, the spare heir, isn’t welcome in his homeland as the new King. Together he and Tobi work hard side by side to prepare for their new life, the coronation and showing the people they are dedicated to their country. Behind the scenes their attraction for each other is bubbling away. Thinking the only way to save Tobi is to send her away from his complicated life, he hasn’t considered what Tobi wants and she’s here to stay. But even the strength of a woman will only stretch so far.
Jadesola James has taken all the normal concepts of a Presents story and turned them on their head. At the same time she has crafted a tale of love and passion and culture and family from a world I am unfamiliar with. But whether it’s the Eastern, Western, Asian or African world, love always translates as love and it shone through the pages of The Princess He Must Marry. The story is a rich tapestry of wonder and I was there for every page of it.
Beautiful story. Highly recommended to all second chance lovers.
