These covers are a blessing/curse to my bisexuality

4 stars I've loved all the books in Alyssa Cole's 'Reluctant Royals' series and I was so glad to finally get to the third and final story, Nya and Johan's! We've met both of these characters in previous books and I couldn't wait to get to theirs. Especially Johan. I've been curious about him for a while now. Johan is... not really a prince, but close enough. In Liechtienbourg , his brother is the prince and his stepfather is king. Johan is the one to take the paparazzi away from his family a...

I mean, it’s 1 am and I have to get up in 4 hours for work, but no regrets! This series just gets better and better! A full review will come closer to release date but this book features some real LOL moments, and MULTIPLE LGBTQIA+ characters, plus some really nuanced relationships and interactions! I HAVE to read Once Ghosted Twice Shy tomorrow 😍😍

I can't even tell you how much I wanted to love this book, with that cover (to die for!) and all of that fabulous diversity rep, but, like the others in the Reluctant Royals series, it fell short for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole, but I wanted to gush about it and I didn't get to that place. I started off really enjoying the story. I live for a princess-fantasy story, and I also love an aloof bad boy (though that really isn't even the male MC), so the book re...

Gah, I feel like a dick for not liking this book more because it's entertaining and light and fluffy af, but it also reads like an iPhone game or like Princess Diaries 5 or something like that. A Princess in Theory trended a bit silly for me, but this one's SO MUCH MORE. And I love fluffy and silly, but when you try to do a serious monarchy overthrow plot that legit involves people painting graffiti on the palace like in The Selection, I just can't deal. And it reads like the dating romance game...

Alyssa Cole has done it again, another incredible novel in the Reluctant Royals series! “He'd spent so long running from love at full tilt that when he'd finally tripped and fell, his momentum made it swift and unstoppable.” The third novel in this series has everything you already love from the first two. A beautifully developed romance, amazing sex scenes, a storyline that goes much deeper than you'd expect, with some really timely topics and of course a good portion of humour.Althou...

Reread June 2020 - I loved it even more the second time around. This whole series is absofuckinglutely PERFECT. I think this may be my favourite one in the series! Everything about it was perfect, and the way a character coming out as nonbinary was portrayed and handled by the other characters was amazing. I'm so happy to see accepting someone's pronouns without question being normalized in fiction, especially in romance. I could see myself rereading the whole series on a yearly basis.

I think this is my favorite of the main 3 books! I loved the dynamic of the playboy prince with a heart of gold that only the heroine can soften.

I'm so sad this series is over 😭

YESSSSS

I really, REALLY wanted to like this one, but this is NOT a standalone romance. There’s lots of characters that are from previous books and I stopped about 20% in because I just felt a bit lost with the story. I’m not a fan of the princess diaries trope either so maybe that had something to do with it. But that cover is just😍😍😍😍😍😍Overall, I think this would be a winner for those who love princess romances and you’re up to date with this series.

not DNFing but pausingfor some reason i thought these were standalones, and maybe they are advertised that way but i gotta say i was really confused with all of the characters are the beginning. i'm almost 100% positive that all of the side characters were from book 1 and 2 and i'm sure had i read those books i would have fallen into this book immediately. but honestly my confusion grew and my enjoyment was middle of the road because of it. i have a feeling i could really love this book but i th...

She plays dating sims and he's obsessed with fairy tales - how am I not going to love this book?! A Prince on Paper is my absolute favorite in a series of amazing books. I feel like I've loved each subsequent book more than the last, and I loved this one so much it was physically painful (to my heart). I was so excited to finally get Nya's book. She's been an intriguing character to me every since A Princess in Theory, and then I loved her emerging and finding herself in bits and pieces (as seen...

i really liked the first in this series but LOVED the second one. i had high hopes for this one. i love alyssa cole's writing. before i get too far into the review i just want to say she has been killing it with the covers lately - this one is absolutely stunning. love it.ok, on to the book. i liked it. i liked it a lot. johan was such a sweetie and i wanted to squeeze his cheeks. i *loved* getting his pov, all of his thoughts. seriously, so adorable. i really liked nya - she was inexperienced i...

Actual rating: 4.5 starsI received a copy of this book from Edelweiss in exchange of an honest reviewOriginal review posted on my blog : Word WondersCW: Abusive father, discussion of parental death, on page sex.*flailing* *squealing* *swooning* THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD I WANT TO CRY! No but seriously, A Prince on Paper turned out being so different from everything I expected to be but…for the better. It was so soft and tender and gentle, the kind of romance books that makes you tear up and want to

Actual rating is 3.5. I had a few issues with the story. I'm sure my issues are due to age.I received an eARC of this book from the publisher.

Ugh, it pains me to have to give this book only two stars (really, it's a 2.5), but one must do what one must do. I usually love Alyssa Cole's writing, but this is...this is...this is not good, that's what this is. Not good. It reads like a woke Public Service Announcement instead of a romance. I kept waiting for a shooting star to glide across the page and to hear the trill of "The more you know!"And the frustrating thing is, one the best aspects of Cole's writing, beside having an incredible k...
