I first heard about A Princess in Theory from a work colleague, and her praise of the representation and realistic love story made me add it to my TBR. When my partner and I were searching for our next audiobook listen, Cole's work popped up, and once we started it was very hard to stop.
Ledi and Thabiso's romance is full of the usual struggles that plague royal + non-royal romance, but Cole's use of comedy to make her characters grow (and her audience laugh) is astounding. The rep was also on point, especially about a black woman in STEM. A side note that if you love Black Panther comics AND romance novels, this book is way up your alley. We kept having to remind ourselves that Thabiso was not T'Challa and his country not Wakanda.
We fell in love with Cole's characters and the world and can't wait to listen to A Duke by Default. If you like royal romances at all, you must read this series!
