I really like Alyssa Cole’s romances for light frothy reads. This one delivers. The FMC is smart and pushes for what she wants despite being in an untenable situation. The MMC is appropriately problematic, but fixable. It’s a fun set up and the backdrop of being matched on “royalmatch.com” is delightful ridiculous.

Ok it turned out alright. Everyone is so evolved and open to change in this book. I like the trend toward romance novels with evolved relationships and values. Will read more Alyssa Cole for sure.

i think it’s a miracle or a testament to alyssa cole’s skills that i’m into these straight royal stories so much!!!

edit:

• i think the conclusion was a bit rushed
• this would made such a good tv movie. instead of producing these white blend love stories they should invest in this series/universe! 
• i love alyssa cole!!!
• some of the dialogue felt too on the nose/too expository, especially towards the end which prompted that feeling of it being rushed

This is a lot slower of a start than I would have wanted, plus somethings just do not work plot-wise for me. That being said, Alyssa Cole has such a humorous style that makes up for most of my problems.

It's stunning, beautiful, sexy, progressive, hilarious, and everything else that makes an Alyssa Cole novel an instant must read. Go read the previous series if you haven't, then sprint right on back and start reading the RUNAWAY ROYALS series. You will not regret it.

Pre-release review: I know this doesn't come out until next spring but 'RELUCTANT ROYALS' SPIN-OFF, FUCK YES, I AM SO AMPED, GONNA PRE-ORDER IT RIGHT NOW IDGAF HOW LONG I MUST WAIT
