A Reluctant Queen by Joan Wolf

I received a complementary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through their BookSneeze program.  I enjoyed this story.  It is based on the biblical story of Esther.  It is fun to see how the author imagined the story.  There were some parts that seemed a little to contrived to me, but overall it was a fun read.  The author talks about the love between the king and queen, but I don't feel that she shows that love developing.  She just tells us that it is there.  The characters are enjoyable.  I would give it 3/5 stars.
