Fab and Likotski are cute characters, but the plot was very slow and it was hard to motivate myself to finish the story, despite its short length. The stakes felt very low and I wasn't especially curious to see what would happen next.

I normally don't read novellas, but I had to with this! In the first book of the reluctant royals series we meet the assistant to the prince, Likotsi. When in New York she has a weekend "fling" and refuses to talk about it. When I found out this novella was about that weekend, I felt like a gossipy b**** leaning in to finally get the details of the obe that got away.
Likotsi had an amazing weekend with an amazing woman, Fabiola. She was sure there was something there, something big. She thought it was for Fab too. But Fav cut it off abruptly with no explanation. Now she is back in New York, and has plans to just try to move on. Then Fab suddenly shows up and they are facing the truth, that there WAS something there!
Honestly, finding out what happened with Likotsi's weekend in New York from book one was enough for me, but also finding out how this unfolds for her and Fab is EVEN BETTER! This was short, and wonderful. A great weekend read. I don't normally read novellas, but I make all the exceptions for Alyssa Cole. I adore her books!
