Review: This is NOT a Christian Romance

The book was very well written and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I was very disappointed because I found it under Christian Romance and there is absolutely NO romantic relationship or even a hint of one anywhere in the story!  I think I would have enjoyed the story more if I hadn't approached every new male character wondering if maybe he was the one that she was going to fall in love with.  I should also point out that it's not a very religious book, either, though the allegory between the king and God, his son and Jesus were all very clear.The characters were developed well and at a good pace, though I kept wondering when the heroine was going to "get it" about the love of the king and her worth.  Of course, God may well watch me on a day to day basis and wonder the same thing, so I guess that was where I most identified with her.I was left with a good overall feeling from this book, but I do have to say that it was very difficult to get past expecting a romance and that never happening.  Don't buy this if you want clear religious reference or a romance, do buy it if you want a well written and uplifting story with characters that are easy to love and identify with.
