Can't Escape Love by Alyssa Cole

Can't Escape Love (Reluctant Royals, #2.6)

by Alyssa Cole

Regina Hobbs is nerdy by nature, businesswoman by nurture. She's finally taking her pop culture-centered media enterprise, Girls with Glasses, to the next level, but the stress is forcing her to face a familiar supervillain: insomnia. The only thing that helps her sleep when things get this bad is the deep, soothing voice of puzzle-obsessed live streamer Gustave Nguyen. The problem? His archive has been deleted.

Gus has been tasked with creating an escape room themed around a romance anime…except he knows nothing about romance or anime. Then mega-nerd and anime expert Reggie comes calling, and they make a trade: his voice for her knowledge. But when their online friendship has IRL chemistry, will they be able to escape love?

I wish this one was a full book. Getting to see a character in a wheelchair is very uncommon in literature, especially written in the way this one was.
Regina is a very relatable character with how she has to deal with running her own business, managing her disability, and dealing with family drama. Because of all these things I wish she had a full book, maybe even a series because I just want to get to spend more time with her learning about her website and the things she loved all while dealing with a disability and all the care that goes into having one alongside regular everyday life.

(I am a disabled woman who also uses a wheelchair. Seeing representation like this is amazing and I loved it so much!
