Book Review: How To Catch A Queen by Alyssa Cole

Thank you Avon Books for my finished copy.

Shanti’s goal in life is to become a Queen. Sanyu doesn’t want to be King, but as the sole heir to the throne he has no choice. These two made quite a pair. I liked both characters individually, but it did take me longer to feel their connection as a couple. I really enjoyed seeing Shanti put her foot down and letting her voice be heard. She’s the Queen. Period. Bow down.
⠀
I liked Sanyu and I could relate to him not wanting to let people he’s looked up to down, but at a certain point you have to do what’s best for you and forge your own path. Doing things differently than your parents isn’t disrespectful. Seeing the growth in Sanyu made me very happy. He truly learned what it means a to be a King AND a husband and how to balance both titles without one area suffering all of the time. Sanyu also suffers from anxiety and I respected how it was handle and how therapy was brought up as well.

I enjoyed seeing couples from the previous series make an appearance in this story and I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
