Can't Escape Love - Book Review by Voodoo Bride


Can't Escape Love (Reluctant Royals #3.5)
by Alyssa Cole


What is it about:
Regina Hobbs is nerdy by nature, businesswoman by nurture. She's finally taking her pop culture-centered media enterprise, Girls with Glasses, to the next level, but the stress is forcing her to face a familiar supervillain: insomnia. The only thing that helps her sleep when things get this bad is the deep, soothing voice of puzzle-obsessed live streamer Gustave Nguyen. The problem? His archive has been deleted.

Gus has been tasked with creating an escape room themed around a romance anime…except he knows nothing about romance or anime. Then mega-nerd and anime expert Reggie comes calling, and they make a trade: his voice for her knowledge. But when their online friendship has IRL chemistry, will they be able to escape love?


What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
I love the Reluctant Royals series. Reggie is a minor character in the other books and I really liked her, so a novella where she is the heroine: Bring it on!

And this novella is awesome! Reggie and Gus are both deliciously nerdy and geeky, although both in different ways. Together they're super cute, and sparks of attraction are flying everywhere. Reggie had build quite the armor around herself however, and it's up to Gus to convince her he's serious about her, and up to her to see if she can let him in.

Once I started reading I was hooked and I finished this novella in one sitting. If I can say one thing against this story it's that I wanted it to be novel sized, because I wanted so much more of this couple and of this sweet and satisfying romance.

You bet I'll be impatiently waiting for the release of the next Reluctant Royals book!

Why should you read it:
It's a sweet and delicious romance
