It has everything anyone could ever want in a royal romance, including a smart, funny heroine; a sweetly sexy prince; swoon-worthy romance; and an epic happily-ever-after. Long live the queen!"--Meg Cabot, #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Princess Diaries</em> </br></br>"In Cole's world, royalty and romance go hand in hand with compassion, open-heartedness, and intelligence, as well as a clear-eyed sense of real-world politics. <em>A Princess in Theory</em> is a fairy tale, yes, but one consistently grounded in reality, which makes the happily-ever-after all the more satisfying."--<em>Entertainment Weekly</em> </br></br>"The best new romance I've read in a while."--<em>New York Times Book Review</em> on <em>A Princess in Theory</em> </br></br>"This book was a lot of fun, sexy, with a compelling story. I really enjoyed the romance as it developed between Ledi and Thabioso, both interesting characters together and as individuals. Lots of erotic tension and a deeply satisfying ending. Definitely dive into this one."--Roxane Gay on <em>A Princess in Theory</em> </br></br>"An impressive ending to a series featuring an international cast of complex, multicultural characters balancing their royal responsibilities with their modern lives and loves."--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>"Cole explores sexual and gender identities, grief, self-respect, acceptance, and love in this faultless romance. She weaves family drama and emotional growth into a passion-filled story worthy of its irresistibly complicated (and diverse) characters. This affair of the heart is deeply satisfying."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>"Alyssa Cole has rightfully garnered acclaim from all corners for the impeccable construction and emotional complexity of her romance novels. But her new novel, A Duke by Default, underscored something about her writing that I think deserves to be celebrated just as much--how joyfully and unrepentantly nerdy her work is."--<em>BookPage</em> </br></br>"Cole includes just the right amount of sass, sex, and heart to satisfy romance readers."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> </br></br>"If you like faux engagements, ultra steamy scenes, and an eventual happily-ever-after, this one's for you."--Oprahmag.com </br></br>Neuro-divergent nerds...are a highlight of this treat of a story."--Washington Post (Best Romances of 2019)
