A Tenuous Betrothal by Jen Geigle Johnson Rhianna
Davies is well-acquainted with heartache after the painful loss of her
parents. At the arrival of her ghastly uncle, she is brought even lower:
Rhi has been banished from her family’s estate home and must rely on
the kindness of her tightly knit Welsh miners for help. Without the
protective love of her parents, Rhi has no illusions that hers will be a
happy ending—until an addendum to her father’s will arrives in the
hands of a prince.
Marc Wilhelm, Prince of Oldenburg,
is in Wales with one purpose: to claim his betrothed. A long-ago
promise between their fathers forges an indelible link between Rhi and
Marc, but there remains just one problem: neither wants to marry a
stranger. With no remaining ties to Wales, Rhi agrees to accompany Marc
to Oldenburg, where he will forfeit their betrothal so she may have her
pick of husbands. But their journey takes them down unexpected paths,
from the depths of a Welsh mine to the marriage mart of London to a warm
reception in Oldenburg. Rhi and Marc discover that their connection and
their challenges run deeper than either anticipated, but whether from
their own hesitations or from danger that threatens without, the couple
might be thwarted before they can even begin the happily ever after they
so richly deserve.

My Review: 5 Stars
Oh, how I love a good arranged marriage and when a royal is thrown in, I'm all over it. Prince Marc and Rhianna seem to hit it off immediately, despite their trepidations, but he just can't commit. I devoured every single interaction between these two and wanted to shake some sense into the prince.
Rhianna is a very likable character and I could feel her eagerness and anticipation of her new situation, as well as her dedication and loyalty to what she's leaving behind. The slight Cinderella vibe with some twists and turns pierced my heart and kept me turning the pages.
Then we have the handsome, sweet, and utterly adorable prince. Marc is an overly devoted man, almost thinking of others too much and overthinking possible scenarios that may or may not happen, but his humor and connection to Rhi is what dreams are made of. This was everything I hoped it would be and more.
I loved the setting and the slew of princes had my heart melting. There are some amazing stories in store for each of them and I'm here for them. Johnson does a phenomenal job of creating a story worth reading and dreaming of.
