Book Review: How To Find A Princess by Alyssa Cole

My 💭:
I had such high hopes for this book after loving “How To Catch A Queen” and sadly this book just didn’t work out in my favor. I had a hard time connecting to the story as it went on and felt like it was just dragging and dragging. I would have also liked to see how the couple adapted to royal life as well. It felt like as soon as the story picked up and started to get interesting it was over. 😩😩 Even though this story wasn’t my favorite I’m still looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tropes: Fake Dating, Royal Romance

About the Book:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Alyssa Cole’s second Runaway Royals novel is a queer Anastasia retelling, featuring a long-lost princess who finds love with the female investigator tasked with tracking her down.

Makeda Hicks has lost her job and her girlfriend in one fell swoop. The last thing she’s in the mood for is to rehash the story of her grandmother’s infamous summer fling with a runaway prince from Ibarania, or the investigator from the World Federation of Monarchies tasked with searching for Ibarania’s missing heir.

Yet when Beznaria Chetchevaliere crashes into her life, the sleek and sexy investigator exudes exactly the kind of chaos that organized and efficient Makeda finds irresistible, even if Bez is determined to drag her into a world of royal duty Makeda wants nothing to do with.

When a threat to her grandmother’s livelihood pushes Makeda to agree to return to Ibarania, Bez takes her on a transatlantic adventure with a crew of lovable weirdos, a fake marriage, and one-bed hijinks on the high seas. When they finally make it to Ibarania, they realize there’s more at stake than just cash and crown, and Makeda must learn what it means to fight for what she desires and not what she feels bound to by duty.
