It's official: I love Alyssa Cole. This book combines so many fun tropes of the genre that kept me squealing the whole time: mistaken identities, getting stranded and forced to ~cuddle~ for warmth, a poor heroine and rich hero. However Cole also managed to keep this novel so fresh. Naledi was a science-minded heroine who was ambitious and determined and dealing with all the trails of being a black woman in academia one can face (her post doc made me roll my eyes so hard, but also he was upsettingly realistic). Thabiso was a playboy prince who was also so knowledgeable on policy and politics and clearly cared about his country, it was so sweet! Also he was so genuinely infatuated with Naledi, my heart was soaring! I love a hero who is so absolutely devoted to the heroine.

This book was so fun and sweet and sexy and romantic, and now I'm ready to consume every book by Alyssa Cole. I'm also quite interested in the next story which I believe is focused on Portia since she seemed like she has a lot of growing to do.
