    Review of Becoming Princess Olivia by Lisa Prysock

    May 9, 2019 in my point of view

    Miss Olivia Jane Kennedy is something of a child prodigy when she becomes a published author earlier than anyone could have expected. She also finds herself with a broken heart by the time she’s nineteen. When an opportunity arises to study abroad in England at The London Writing Academy on scholarship, she takes the chance, hoping a change of scenery will do her some good. “Ollie,” as her kid sister, Kendra, has nicknamed her, takes up residence in a Victorian terrace flat on a scenic street in Chelsea.

    Four years later, she’s a successful writer, age twenty-three, and about to graduate, but maybe dreams only come true for the characters she writes about in her Christian historical romance novels, her “Beloved Britannia” series.

    When the handsome twenty-eight-year-old, His Royal Highness Prince Stephen, asks to share her London cab to throw the paparazzi off, the country girl who grew up on a quiet farm in Minnesota is in for the ride of her life! The Prince is everything she could have hoped for and so much more, but falling in love means risking her once broken heart on high stakes far beyond her wildest dreams.

    my point of view:

    Hands down this was a delightful and super fun read! It is my first ever book of Lisa Prysock’s, but definitely not my last! I enjoyed every moment of this fun filled fast paced romance. I completely admit to being a Royal fan, and yes, I watched the Royal weddings of Diana and both her sons. Cried during the boys weddings too, wishing their momma was there to see what amazing men her sons turned out to be….sigh.

    This story was so touching it made me wish for more Royal weddings, lol! What little girl doesn’t dream of being a Princess? As adults we come to realize the heavy burden that is placed on celebrities and royals, so unlike the fairy tale dreams of childhood…..or is it? Reading this lovely book gives me hope, that maybe the Royal family are just regular people too!

    Olivia is a darling character, so faith driven and loving, as a friend, daughter and sister. I also appreciated her frugalness and love of all things fashionable, hahaha! She’s a child protege, but not conceited in the least – so refreshing. I loved how Prince Stephen is so down to earth, yet still a king in the making. He is a wonderful hero in this novel, and a character worth reading. I was especially drawn to the way he endeared himself to Olivia’s family, both her parents and siblings. It’s important to know when you become serious with someone, you are gaining the whole family, lol!

    About Lisa M. Prysock

    Lisa M. Prysock is the author of “To Find a Duchess,” “The Shoemaker,” “Marry Me Katie,” “Dreams of Sweetwater River,” “Geneva,” “Protecting Miss Jenna,” and many other novels. When she was thirteen, she knew she wanted to be a mother and a writer. Lisa says she went on a detour a number of times, but the Lord generously allowed both of her dreams to come true. Today, she writes both Christian Historical Romance and Christian Contemporary Romance books–“Romance with a Dash of Food, Fashion, Faith, & Fun.”

    Each of her books have a theme such as suffering, the depths of God’s love for us, mercy, overcoming, discovering purpose, and more. Many of her books have fun, interesting characters and they often shine a spotlight on influential evangelicals in history such as Booth, Chapman, Moody, Charles Wesley, Spurgeon, Fanny Crosby, and more. She is also the author of a devotional.

    “I don’t know how it happens but most of my books end up in beautiful England or Kentucky, and of course, Wyoming.”

    Kentucky inspires her writing and is home. She is happily married to her husband of more than 20 years and homeschooled two of their five children, all grown. Lisa grew up in the Ohio Valley and also spent her early childhood years in Wisconsin and Minnesota on a farm. “Yes, there were chickens, a cow named Daisy, horses, a huge vegetable garden, fishing, a tree house, and snowmobiles!”

    Lisa remembers writing her very first book in kindergarten in Wisconsin, with help from the teacher. “It was a book about ‘Curious George.’ I couldn’t spell yet, but the teacher wrote words beneath my illustrations for what I wanted to say on each page and stapled the pages together for me.” She has been writing ever since. She won a prize for a short chapter story in 8th grade and remembers buying a manual typewriter with some of her first earnings.

    Some of her interests include walking, swimming, working out, cross stitch, sewing, crochet, sketching and painting, dollhouses, gardening, shopping and fashion, cooking and baking, hanging out with her family, watching movies, and reading/writing great books. She likes chocolate, dancing, learning to play the piano and violin (“a painful process,” she admits), coffee, tea, flip flops, hats, butterflies, hydrangeas, roses, petunias, dill pickle flavored chips, and driving around in her red Jeep with the sunroof open, blasting the volume and singing to the Lord. Some of her favorite music artists include Jordan Feliz, Tedashii, Hollyn, Lecrae, Toby Mac, Michael W. Smith, and For King & Country.

    A few of her favorite books include the “Little House on the Prairie” series, the “Anne of Green Gables” collection, the Jane Austen collection, C.S. Lewis books, “Heidi,” “Christy,” “Jane Eyre,” and “Little Women.”

    She enjoys writing family oriented, romantic, sweet, clean, wholesome literature and likes to make readers smile and laugh. Sharing her faith in Christ and uplifting and encouraging others through her writing in an interesting way is her number one aspiration. She believes people need and want to know how wonderful the Lord is and attributes her dream of writing coming true entirely to Him. Her writing theme verse is Acts 16:31, Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved–you and your household. Her slogan is “The Old-Fashioned Everything Girl.”

    Lisa gives a generous portion of the proceeds of her books each month to missionaries and evangelists to further the gospel, striving to follow the model of Lydia in the New Testament, who supported and gave to Paul and Barnabas with her substance.
