Daughter of the King

I received this ARC copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. So thank you netgalley and publishers.
This is a story about a beautiful princess, a king that God chose, and what might have happened back in those days, a lot of Biblical story's don't give us a lot of detail so that leaves plenty of room for us to imagine how they would have handled things back then.
The title and cover art is what attracted me to this book, then I realized it was biblical I knew I had to have it! I adore biblical time periods and biblical stories!! Princess Michal daughter of King Saul, recounts the love she shared with David on his journey from shepherd to King of Israel. I recommend this book to all readers, especially those who love historical romances and the bible ♡ This is my first book by this author and I can tell you now it won't be my last!!! I will be buying the hard copy so I can pass it down to my daughter one day ♡ 5 stars ♡

Daughter of the King is a very well written biblical story of King Saul's daughter Michal and her love for David. If you love biblical fiction I recommend this book.

Daughter of the King is an amazing story of Princess Michal - King David's wife - who wasn't a King at the time - when Saul went a little mad - he wanted to kill David - so she helped him escape and so her father - King Saul - well lets just say she became a wife to a war lord - yrs go by and David becomes King and wants his first wife back and he sends for her return and this is where this book starts off - Roman soldiers show up and the evil warlord's house and demanded to take her - he wasn't going to do it but you don't say no to a contingent of soldiers - she was afraid to death - she had no idea if she was going to be taken and killed because of her father - she didn't know what had happened to her father - she didn't care she wanted out of that awful house - anywho - she goes and then things are wonderful then there are so many twists and turns and hurts - my heart just broke to death for her - and then ........I shall not say anymore to ruin it - but this book was phenomenal - it was amazingly intelligently thought out - you felt like you were there with her - astoundingly accurate when it came to Biblical storyline. I loved it - yup I used the L word. You will too.

I really enjoyed reading this book, although there were some things I didn't appreciate. The author has made this story come to life, and stuck very closely to the Biblical account, which I liked very much. Michal is a much more vivid character to me now! The only part I didn't like was the occasional, somewhat explicit, references to marital intimacy. If those had not been included, I would have highly recommended this book to my friends. That being said, I did appreciate and enjoy much of the book, especially a conversation between Michale and Mephibosheth, when he sarcastically said, “I missed the part where God is supposed to comply with our wishes.”

I have always been fascinated with Michal’s story in the Bible. I thought it portrayedMichal as a strong protagonist. She has to choose between her father or David. My only complaint was that I wish it was longer. Still, I recommend this for fans of Jill Eileen Smith, India Edgehill, and Angela Hunt.
