Naledi is an overworked grad student who has a hard time letting people into her life after her childhood being moved from foster family to foster family. Thabiso is prince of Thesolo struggling with the expectations of his parents and country. On a trip to New York to complete some of his royal duties, Thabiso takes the time to track down his betrothed who disappeared when they were children. But Naledi mistakes him for a new coworker at her waitressing job and Thabiso takes the opportunity to learn more about the woman who he was once supposed to marry.
This is such a wonderful book. Our leads are instantly lovable and their chemistry is automatic. Though they deal with misunderstandings and issues that get in the way of their happiness, none of them felt forced and each felt like a natural result of the character's faults. They grow together throughout the story and the pacing of both their romance and the larger plot points fit seamlessly together. This book is honestly just so much fun and if you're looking for a relaxing, engaging story with lovable characters who go through meaningful character arcs and share some steamy scenes along the way, this is a great pick. I can't wait to read more of Cole's work. I can already tell that I am going to love it.

However, the pacing was way off for me. there were multiple points in the book where we spent a TON of time on the build-up of a potential problem, only to have the full situation revealed and handled very quickly.
I read the novella Once Ghosted, Twice Shy (#1.5 in this series) last year and it was nice to go back and see the characters who had been mentioned in that novella. I’d still highly recommend that novella. Not sure if I’ll continue further on in this series.
