Prince Layton and Lady Aribella suited each other and I loved watching their relationship grow from friendship and mutual admiration to a full-blown secret romance with plenty of chemistry. Both characters feel duty-bound to others and must make difficult, life-changing decisions. More character development would have been welcome, but Layton and Aribella enchanted me as they were. A Foreign Crown felt light and was so entertaining that I didn’t want to put it down. A Foreign Crown commences Jen Geigle Johnson’s Royal Regency Romance series and I can’t wait for more!

I really liked Lady Aribella. She was a down to earth lady and was kind to everyone, including the servants. She was put in a hard position as a lady-in-waiting to the Queen. But somehow, she remained an example of grace and integrity.
Prince Layton was also a man of honor. He worked hard to help his country and wrangle his way through the social structure of the Royal Court of England. I loved the banter and the attraction that he and Aribella shared. With the setting, they had to be careful to not cause some sort of scandal or political faux pas. It was interesting to see how they were able to circumvent expectations while remaining true to each other.
This is the first book in a series and I can't wait to see what Jen Geigle Johnson will come up with next!
