This book continues the story of the Lanier family, but enough backstory is given so this book can definitely be read as a stand-alone. This book also takes places many decades later, during the years of the American Revolution.As with The Pelican Bride, the historical details surrounding Mobile and New Orleans were accurate and evocative. I really enjoyed this more regional take on the American Revolution, showing a side of the war that is much less well known (including Spain's involvement). I especially loved Lyse's character and how her family was a melting pot of nationalities, races, and socioeconomic classes. Don Rafael--"Rafa"--was rather goofy in the beginning, but his charm and goodheartedness grew on me. Daisy's character I found rather bland at first, until a few twists in the story (no spoilers!) made her more complex and interesting.This was not only a great inspirational historical romance novel, it was also a great historical fiction novel, period. I highly recommend this novel and The Pelican Bride, and I'm looking forward to the next release in this series, The Magnolia Duchess.I also posted this review on Goodreads.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. really enjoyed the first novel in the series By Mackenzie Carol The Creole Princess is the second book in Beth White’s Gulf Coast Chronicles series, coming after The Pelican Bride. I really, really enjoyed the first novel in the series, so I was super excited to be able to read this one. Fortunately, I was not disappointed, as I’m pretty sure I loved this book even more than the previous one. There were so many wonderful elements to this story—it caught my attention from page one and it was practically physically painful for me to put the book down—and Lyse and Rafael’s love story was one of the greatest I have ever read. On top of that though, there were other stories, other elements, that made this book all that much more intriguing. There was the British commander and his daughter Daisy, who was also Lyse’s best friend, and Simon, Lyse’s brother, Scarlet—Lyse’s cousin—and then of course Rafael and Lyse herself. The spies, the approaching war, the act of choosing sides between the Americans and the British, all of it combined to make this a story that was both captivating and unpredictable, and that I still cannot stop thinking about. One of my favorite aspects of this novel, however, was the way it really made me think. Lyse’s stance on slavery and freedom mirror my own extremely closely, but I can’t help but wish things could have been that simple at the beginning of the Revolution. In any case, I couldn’t help but wishing that others had seen things the way she and Daisy had way back when our country was beginning, as that could have made so many issues so much easier. Reading about their opinions on such big subjects definitely helped to reinforce my stance, and I just really enjoyed that for once the heroines were true heroines and weren’t just full of fluff and “unable to grasp” such serious matters. All in all, I found this book to be another reason why I am a very big fan of Beth and her talent for writing, and I absolutely cannot wait to finally get to finish out the series! This book well deserves all five bookshelves, as well as a place on my all-time favorites list. I highly recommend it for the wonderful gem that it is, and hope to read even more of Beth’s novels in the future.(This review is from my blog, spreadinghisgrace.blogspot.com)

In this book by Beth White, I learned some history. Lyse Lanier lives on the Gulf coast of West Florida, in what is now known as Mobile, Alabama. At the time, it was under Spain's rule and Spain was getting ready to enter into the Revolutionary War. The British weren't always the heroes portrayed, Spain ruled quite a bit of North America, and love comes unexpectedly.Lyse met Rafa on the docks while waiting for Simon to return from fishing. Rafa is enchanted with Lyse and does whatever he has to do to make her acquaintance, and then makes it a point to see Lyse every time he comes to Mobile. What Lyse doesn't know is that she is giving him valuable information that he takes back to New Orleans, spying and helping the Spanish governor there. She finds herself more and more entranced with Rafa and missing him more than ever when he is gone. The next time she sees Rafa after her father is arrested for treason against Britain, he takes her to New Orleans to live with his mother and sister--but she's not as welcome as it would seem. When Rafa is away, his mother finds a way to ask her to leave her home and Lyse has to find work washing the clothes of the army garrisoned in New Orleans.The facts are interwoven into the novel, illustrating a part of the Revolutionary War that is often overlooked. The characters are well developed and likeable, and the author provides such detail that it leaves you wanting to know more about this era in the gulf. However, the writing was a bit sluggish and difficult to read, as the author uses figurative language and description above and beyond what it necessary. At times, you are so slogged down in description that it’s hard to follow the plot. In fact, the majority of the book IS description. So I give it four stars…good story line, but could have been half the length and just as wonderful.Thanks to Revell Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.
