That Prince Is Mine by Jayci Lee
3.0
hopeful medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes


I am a sucker for a romance between a royal and a non-royal and this one was mix race which added an interesting element. Emma is a culinary instructor that socializes in Korean royal cuisine and her aunt is matchmaker who wants to match her up become she becomes too old. She meets Michel at a coffee shop after one of her matches and they have an instant attraction. I love that Michel falls first and they were really cute together. They were total opposites in their view of love and that added a good element to the story. For me, I wanted more from Michel, his love felt way too insta for me. I wasn't a big fan of the ending despite it being a HEA. I felt Emma gave up a lot of her dreams to be with Michel. 

Olivia Song did a wonderful job with the narration with both a Korean pronunciation with all the foods and Michel and Gabriel's accent. 

Thank you @macmillab.audio @netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.
