She’s never heard of his country.
Can they make a monarchy - much less a marriage - work?
Tiaras & True Love
Book 1: Auverignon
Crown Prince Steven Charles David Chauncey of Auverignon will be king in less than a week.
Which means the Council has final say in his marriage - if he’s not already married before taking the throne.
Jasmine Roberts has never gotten drunk before in her life, but the one time she does, she quickly discovers that what happens in Vegas… well…
That’s when Jazz discovers that she’s the next queen of Auverignon.
She agrees to return to Auverignon with him and help forge a new path, especially for Auverignonian women. In the process, she simply needs to not lose herself - and hopefully win the Heart of the King
The Heart of the King (Tiaras True Love #1) Reviews

3.5
I have long enjoyed Carol Moncado's books. I am a follower of the British monarchy and love royalty so her long standing royalty books are quite fun to read. I do have a hard time keeping up since most overlap. Still, she puts together a good story and they are very enjoyable.
My thanks to the author for a copy of this book. I was not required to leave a positive review. -
If you’ve read The Spare and the Heir about Gabe and Esme, this story is about Gabe’s brother, and is the first book in a series called Tiaras and True Love. If you haven’t read The Spare and the Heir, I recommend you read it first so that you have more background about what’s going on as The Heart of the King begins. (Note: Jazz does appear a few times in her friend Tessa’s story, Small Town Girls Don’t Marry Their Best Friends, but not much is said about her background, so you don’t need to read it before Heart of the King).
I enjoyed reading this book. Moncado develops some new “villains” to provide plot twists and challenges. The characters grow and mature and fall in love in classic Moncado style. Characters from other books show up all the time, and plot threads from several books continue to weave together. If you haven’t read any Moncado books, I’m not sure you should start with this one, but it’s a great addition to her list of books. -
Loved this. Romance that supports the other person.

What happens if you wake up and find yourself married to someone you don’t even remember meeting? Well, that’s the start of this newest book in the many “royal” stories written by Carol Moncado.
In this story, we find two individuals who make a decision while not really thinking clearly and it changes the rest of their lives. Each one has something in their pasts that weighs heavy on them and if they want to make their new life together last, they need to work through those things. Throw into this mix the fact that one of them is from a royal family AND he’s about to be crowned king!
If that isn't enough add to the mix some twisted suspense that will keep you reading not able to put it down!
Carol Moncado is an expert in writing stories that will take you deep into the lives of “royalty” and the world of “royals.”
I love the whole world she has created with these books. She continues to write books in which we get a glimpse of what it might be like to live in a world like Cinderella.
If you LOVE reading stories regarding royalty and all that life can bring, then you really need to pick this book up and read it! You won't be disappointed.
I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own. -
Be a royal for a day. This romance is a delightful April read for Queen Elizabeth's birthday and after the funeral of her beloved husband. Carol Moncado mentions existing European monarchies, especially mentioning British royalty (Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, and Prince Charles). The Heart of the King is an inspiring page turning romance with secret castle passages, relatable characters who work for change in their kingdoms, unexpected plot twists and a satisfying resolution. Even though A Heart of the King is the start to a new series, Carol Moncado weaves characters and conflicts from her other royalty books into this new series. Intrigue, mystery, romance, and a glimpse of being a royal.

Family Joys and Sorrows
Although I have enjoyed many books in the Royals series by Carol Moncado, this one broke my heart. I was disappointed in several areas. First the way in which the couple met and married immediately. Secondly there's no record of repentance which was sorely needed. There is more drinking on and on throughout the story. These books are supposed to be Christian fiction, but yet the Bible clearly describes the sin of drinking in the book of Proverbs chapters 20 and 23 for starters.
Parts of the story are very good. I particularly liked Hazel. And another secondary character I enjoyed was Mrs. Steedley. -
David and Jazz spend the night together and find out they don’t remember the slip of paper they also find before parting ways. Jazz heads to Auvergnonion with David to help him with some changes needed in the country. Fast moving story, as these two get to know each other better, as well as meeting Hazel, Mrs. Sneedly, Sarah and Steward, we also see Les and Lux (who worked for Daniel and Esther), King Edward, King Benjamin, Queen Katrin, Astrid, Queen Esme and Gabe (David’s brother), Justin, Jonathan, Thor and a few others. Beautiful start to a new series and I can’t wait to see where they author takes us with the rest of the series.

Winning story
A drunken night in Vegas has consequences for Jazz, one that finds her married to a prince who's about to become a king. Married - tick; falling in love and winning the heart of a king? That's a little more complicated. I found Jazz's character fun, kind, and mature when she needed to be. The king stepped up and I had to admire how he took control. I love this author's books and this one is no exception. Definitely a winning story. I'm also looking forward to the next in this new series. -
Ms. Moncado's books are never a disappointment. They are happily ever afters with trouble and drama. There are always ties back to previous characters, and I love that. Also, she ties in current British monarchy issues (Prince Phillips passing.) I love her royal monarchs from her fictional countries. I look forward to seeing more from David and Jazz and see what happens to them in future books.

Great story
I enjoyed reading The Heart of the King and Jazz and David's story. David and Jazz married each other on a drunken whim, but Jazz doesn't realize he's a prince who is going to become king. The prince had made some bad choices in the past but has a change of heart and wanted to start anew, including changing his name to David. Jazz is an unique person and stood true to herself, refusing to change her appearance but works on winning the people's hearts as their new queen. -
Entering into this new series with hints to past characters in it, was a spot of happiness on my weekend.
There is just something about a book by this author, that gives me joy. A fairy tale like story that happens in a not so fairy tale like way, will help you relate to the characters, believing in the story. -
Beautiful Love Story
This is an amazing and heartwarming love story with outstanding and endearing characters that will definitely touch your very soul as they journey toward unconditional love and understanding. -
Loved Jazzy!!
This book held some surprises. I must have missed the accident of Queen Mariam. That hurt my heart a little. I loved getting to know David and Jasmine and seeing all my “friends” from the previous books. -
King and Queen
I loved this story because we sometimes put people in high places do no wrong but they are sinners saved by grace. -
Good
More like her earlier ones. Really enjoyed this. Love Jazz. Enjoyed every minute of the book from start to finish; it never lagged. Lovely.
