Super cute! Loved Nya and Johan's story, just as good as the rest in the series.

This was probably my favourite in the series! I loved both of our main characters and thought both of them were very written and fleshed out. I also liked the way the political commentary was weaved in throughout.
The plot point of Nya being suspected of trying to overthrow the monarchy because of a phone game was absolute gold, I only wish this plot point had been dragged out more. There felt like so much lead up to the point where they think she's some sort of spy but then its quashed in 30 seconds. I would have liked it to be drawn out and more dramatic so we could then get a hilarious reveal of it just being a video game.
However, the truly amazing part of this book was the sibling of our love interest and their journey with gender identity. Having a non-binary heir to the throne was such a wonderful plot point and was dealt with in such a fantastic way. I would ADORE for a book following a 25-year-old non-binary royal and a possible love story.

Absolutely incredible, I think this is my favorite of the series. I found both protagonists to be relatable, their chemistry was believable. I wished the book didn't end and I could spend more time with them!

God, this SERIES. I’m so sad this is the last one. I’m so sad I can’t travel to Thesolo or Liechtenbourg. I feel like these characters are my friends now or something. Alyssa Cole is such a master at incorporating at present day cultural and social media references that even I forget she’s essentially created entirely fictional countries...and languages!
Nya is shy but sharp. Johan is smooth but perceptive. Two people that seem so different but their friendship, attraction, and eventual love seem natural. I wouldn’t say it’s a true enemies to lovers trope—both lusted after the other for a while. And while Nya is a virgin, she knows what she wants and asks for it honey. Essentially, A Prince On Paper, like the other Reluctant Royals books, put a new spin on some old story lines. And it WORKS. And I’m here for every second of Sugar Bubble’s and Phoko’s HEA.
