This was really cute, but so short it’s like...why? I loved these characters and this definitely spoke to my inner black girl otaku that is never represented. I loved shining the light on two non-white characters with disabilities crushing on each other, brought together by anime. Like..what’s not to love here? Other than it should be a full length book because this had so much potential and just ended up feeling rushed by the end. Alyssa — I know you wanted to keep writing so, why’d you stop, girl? Reggie didn’t get justice here at all. Alyssa Cole if you see this I need more black girl anime romance. Now

This is my favorite in the series so far. An autistic man and a wheelchair/glasses user falling in love?! YES! This is just a fantastic piece, I don't know what else to say about it. so many feels.
As an autistic disabled woman I say, "YES YES YES!"

This was so cute and I honestly we had gotten a little bit more. I enjoyed the conversation on both mental and physical disabilities and how you just need to find the right person who will make you thrive. I wish we could have gotten a scene where he meets her sister because of how large of a role her family played in this but I at least got to enjoy the cross over with the first book. Overall, I’m so happy I finally got around to continuing in this series and how needy this one was compared to all the rest.

So much to enjoy about this - the characters, the circumstances, getting to see more of Portia and some resolutions to the family dynamics. Not a stand-alone, though, don't think it would make sense without Portia's book.

Like all romances, this one requires several stretches in imagination to be able to read. If you can get over the deus ex machina though, this is a seriously good novella from a talented romance writer.
Reggie, the fraternal twin of Portia from A Duke by Default, runs a popular geek website called, Girls with Glasses. Unfortunately, she's been suffering from insomnia and would like to reconnect with an old friend who is a puzzle streamer (Apparently that's a thing???). This guy, Gustave Nguyen, has a soothing voice that helped Reggie relax. Coincidently, Reggie and Gus live in the exact same neighbourhood, because why not? It's a cute book, but at 128 pages, it's not a deep one.
It's a cute romance, and definitely worth a read as we wait impatiently for A Prince on Paper.
