"Queen Charlotte Sophia - A Royal Affair is a beautifully written novel, rich in detail. This sweeping tale bridges kingdoms, countries, and lives. It is full of rumours and secrets that must be hidden at all costs. Tina Andrews takes us on quite a journey as Charlotte travels to England to become George 111's Queen. Andrews adroitly brings alive complicated histories through the eyes of imperfect but resilient characters and leaves us thirsty for more. Queen Charlotte's story of romance and intrigue continues to fascinate us and Andrews has written an important historical novel with an excellent eye for accuracy. This is a novel that must not be ignored. -- Anni Domingo ...This novel may very well be telling the truth of the story of England's first black Queen... It's extraordinary and wonderful... -- Whoopi Goldberg Andrews' Charlotte Sophia becomes a wily, cunning woman learning to navigate her arranged marriage to ""mad"" King George III who had no knowledge of her Moorish roots until their wedding night. I could hardly wait to read what Charlotte did next! -- Charisse Jones A compelling examination of the life of the German princess of color and Knights Templar descendant forced to hide her identity to ensure her power as she ascends to the seat of British queen consort. A thrilling page-turner. -- Sharon D. Johnson, Ph.D."
