"""We all know I love a good romance and this is exactly what Sacrifices For Kingdoms is. [Patricia D'Arcy Laughlin] has brought us love, an affair, prince-princess, dream, and passion, and even people wanting to kill them. If you want a book that you will not want to put down, this is the one you should read. If I was asked what genre of book it is I would say romance but then again it could be a suspense. Or I might say literary/women's fiction. Instead I will just say it's all of them, which I didn't think was possible. Sacrifices For Kingdoms is the first book in the series and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book; I hope you will feel the same way."" --The Mommies Reviews ""The storyline is filled with adventure as two people fight against the boundaries of their roles to find happiness together. The cliffhanger gives readers hope that the characters will continue the battle in a future installment. Sacrifices For Kingdoms provides a steamy contemporary romance sandwiched between duty and desire."" -Novels Alive ""Patricia D'Arcy Laughlin is a born storyteller. Normally, the Trinidadian shares stories of exotic travels and life experiences, however, recently she has been telling a new story, one of love and power. The novel is a love story that also tackles unromantic topics such as history, equality and religion."" -Sarasota Observer ""I found this novel incredibly enjoyable. It is a wonderful, engaging and well-written story that captures the reader's attention and holds it. What I particularly liked about this novel was how it combined a fairy-tale-like story with a presentation of substantive and provocative issues involving themes of sexism and developed religions. In short, it is very much an adult fairy tale that makes you think. At the end, I was left wanting more. I cannot wait for the sequel. In a nutshell, this is an engaging, entertaining, fanciful, and thought-provoking novel that captures your imagination. Well done."" -Dr. Larry R. Thompson, J.D., M.S., B.A., President, Ringling College"
