I trust and love my library; I really do. So when I got an email saying that I could check out this book with no waiting, I decided to give it a try. Sadly I had to give up on reading this after the first chapter. The swearing, oh the…

I loved this book! It was definitely a romance but it didn't have any of those frustrating things that annoy me about romances such as communication issues and stupid reasons to be apart, at least not in a way that annoyed me. There was…

This got a starred review in Publisher's Weekly and that was so intriguing I picked up the book. Modern day African Royalty? I previously had no idea that "woke" romance existed, silly me. I've read this series as far as it goes now.…

Review excerpt: "I loved a lot about this book. I loved Ledi and how three dimensional her issues were. She doesn’t have a lot of money, so there’s a lot of, “Have I saved up enough to make this tiny splurge okay and safe?” and working…

Theory should always be confirmed by experiment, right?

loved, Loved, LOVED THIS BOOK!! I’ve probably borrowed it on 20+ separate occasions since I first discovered it last year!

Super fun read! The opening, where Naledi, a graduate student in epidemiology, gets a bunch of emails telling her she's a long-lost African princess, is comedy gold. She and the hero have great chemistry. The plot gets a little wonky…

Take The Princess Diaries, add the flair of Africa (honestly I pictured Wakanda a la Black Panther), a spoiled but sexy wealthy foreign playboy prince, add an awesome woman in a STEM job, those fake email scams everyone gets, shake it up…

Naledi Smith is an epidemiology grad student who’s being targeted by email scammers trying to convince her she’s a long-lost princess betrothed to an African prince. Thabiso is that African prince, who’s unaware that his assistant has…

Ledi is smart and awesome and I love having a scientist leading lady. Thabiso screws up mightily, but shows an admirable sense of humility and willingness to fix his mistakes. Thesolo is super cool.

So much fun to read a modern-day royalty romance! Can't wait for the next one in this series. Alyssa Cole has created a smart, funny heroine who (reluctantly) finds her sweet prince. HEA!

A sweet and charming romance of a modern-day Cinderella. Alyssa Cole masterfully plays off of the "Nigerian prince" email scammer stereotype, and creates the swoon-worthy Prince of Thesolo. The princess in this story, Ledi, is a super cool…

I enjoyed this so much, and it wasn't too hard to imagine Thabiso as another famous fictional African prince*BLACK PANTHER*. I also loved how Ledi is a student in epidemiology which is fab. It's a fun riff on the "Nigerian Prince" scam,…

I'm not typically a reader of romances (tending to enjoy fantasy more), but I saw the cover and my interest was piqued, so I read the back cover and was totally sold! Then I read the dedication and pretty much felt like I'd found my novel…

This book is endlessly charming, with an intensely likeable pair of leads. I wish there had been about 50% fewer science metaphors to describe the process of getting close to someone (I get it, she's a scientist!) but that's such a small…
