I rarely give a 5 star review, but El Rey is deserving of it. This is the sweeping saga of the romance of Inez Garcia and El Rey, nephew of the King of Portugal in 16th century Portugal and Spain. Interwoven into the story are four stories of those close to Inez and how they fit into her story. It begins with Inez as an elderly women telling the story of her life and love to her great-granddaughter. From the beginning, I knew that I would love this book. The author's description and imagery are so vivid and real, the reader is there. The research was detailed and woven into the story in such a way that it was informative in an entertaining way, not preachy. I highly recommend this book. I reviewed this on my blog and you can see my first interview with this author as well at: rebeccavance.com.
