This book received a lot of buzz in 2018. I mean, look at that gorgeous cover! The story within is just as lovely. Naledi is an orphan who grew up in the foster care system. She compares herself to defective Velcro. No one ever "sticks" to her. To protect herself, she doesn't really let anyone too close. She's made a life for herself in NYC, though, as an epidemiology grad student. The book opens with her receiving emails from an African country, claiming she is a princess bound to wed the crown prince. She laughs these off, as we all do. Little does she know, the emails are for real. Prince Thabiso is the crown prince of Thesolo. He and Naledi were betrothed as children. Then her parents left the country in a cloud of mystery and, unfortunately, they died in a car accident not long after arriving in the US. Thabiso's assistant tracks Naledi down. When he goes to introduce himself to her, she mistakes him for someone else and he decides to get to know her as just another guy, not the prince. Their romance is sweet and hot, and as you can imagine, Naledi is quite upset when she finds out he deceived her about his identity. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I love Cole's historical romances as well, so she's definitely one of my favorite authors right now.
