I don't typically read contemporary romance (I can count on one hand the number I've read in the last year) but I decided to step outside my comfort zone and read A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole, and am I glad I did!
This book was a very enjoyable read - and it was a real-life fairy tale! Prince Thabiso of Thesolo and Naledi Smith were betrothed as children, before Naledi's parents fled Thesolo for New York City. Naledi grew up in foster care and has worked hard to earn her way into grad school for epidemiology.
Thabiso has had his assistant track down his long-lost fiancee, and when they find she's in New York, where he has to be for business meetings, he decides to confront her. However, when they meet she thinks he's an employee and has no idea who she really is.
Cole does an excellent job exploring a lot of pretty heavy topics, from Naledi's fear of making herself vulnerable and how that impacts her relationships, to Thabiso's life of privilege. Their romance is sweet, and feels organic.
Would recommend!!
