Rom-Com fans, meet your new favorite series! I've been dying to read A Princess in Theory from the moment I saw that delicious cover (the only thing that could make that dress better is proof of pockets) and wow I was not disappointed!

Graduate student Ledi, who grew up in foster care but is doing just fine, thanks, keeps getting annoying emails claiming she's betrothed to an African prince. Not having anytime for that nonsense, Ledi tries to keep up with her studies and her part-time job all while trying to figure out why her summer fellowship hasn't followed through with her yet.

Well, turns out the Prince is no joke, and his people have finally found Ledi after years of searching.

After travelling to NYC to meet Ledi, Prince Thabiso finds himself mistaken for the new hire at her job. Entranced by Ledi but hoping to get to know her before she realizes he is a Prince, Thabiso keeps up the charade until a disastrous run-in at a charity gala.

Ledi, overwhelmed with the truth of her heritage and Thabiso's lies, still finds herself drawn back to the country of her birth, tasked with helping an expedition discover the root of a terrible disease striking the population.

Funny, brilliantly written, and so sexy, this is a perfect start to a promising new series. I cannot wait for Ledi's BFF Portia's story in A Duke by Default.

Thank you to Avon for the ARC!
