It’s interesting how the author combined issues that are common to women and mothers in our current culture with stories from a vastly different culture. This sounds like an atypical twist on the typical family/marriage story!

Oh wow! From your review, this book sounds enthralling. I'm not a huge fan of erotic books but I'll definitely give this a try. After all, it's free 😉 thanks for this!

This book seems fascinating as it centers on both humans and animal. I look forward to a lot in his book like what prompted the disappearance of Hannah and if she was found.

From the review, it seems there is nothing I won't like about this book. Adventure, animals, emotion all wrapped up in an interesting story. I'm looking forward to the exploration of friendship too.

An abusive relationship is not meant for anyone. The time spent on relaxing in the South Africa is a release of burden. However, the missing child add another stress level. Thanks for the review.

This novel has several likable aspects. I think it culmination in different stories. But I may love to read of Hannah's abusive relationship.

This book sounds really interesting. Two women- a mother and a princess, their paths connected by a missing child. I was also interested in reading about South Africa in this book. Congrats to the author on BOTD!

It is amazing that the author created such a fascinating world with endearing characters. I am also delighted that the book teaches many lessons, especially on friendship. This is an informative review.

The book appears to be quite interesting because it happens in both worlds. The review here gives a curious starting to the book, wanting to read the book soon. Since its a short book and the plot sounds interesting, I'll give this book a try.

After reading the sample pages, I was not certain that I may want to read this book at some point. But after reading your amazing and skillfully written review, I just may have to rethink the idea of checking it out.
I love stories that combine the human and animal worlds together.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful view of this book with us. Well done!!

The lesson that stood out for me about friendship is that a true friend is like a brother in times of distress
I have experienced this many times and I am greatful to God for blessing me with such friends. As far as the book is concerned, I like the way the author mixed up both the storylines, that of Hannah's mother and that of the Lion Princess.
