I enjoyed the third book in the series just as much as the others, even if it was yet another take on the premise. I especially found the intersection between traditional fairy tales and modern royalty compelling. The character development paths of Nya and Johan sucked me in on their own, which is important when … Continue reading Review: A Prince on Paper (Reluctant Royals #3) by Alyssa Cole
Review: Can’t Escape Love (Reluctant Royals #3.5) by Alyssa Cole
Once again, Cole impresses me with her ability to weave timelines together within different stories.

Review: A Princess in Theory (Reluctant Royals #1) by Alyssa Cole
I picked up the first book in this series because a later installment features a woman in a wheelchair on the cover, and I am all about supporting representation in books. The fact that this book has two characters of color on the cover, which is a rarity for a romance novel by a major … Continue reading Review: A Princess in Theory (Reluctant Royals #1) by Alyssa Cole
