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

by Alyssa Cole

[Sam@WLABB]

I am not a huge novella reader, but Alyssa Cole has crafted a cast filled with such wonderful and interesting characters, that I found myself squealing with joy at the announcement of Reggie's book.

I wanted to know more about Reggie, because she was Portia's twin sister and the creator of Girls with Glasses. She was fiercely independent, a go-getter, empowered, and a fantastically fabulous geek girl. I not only wanted her to get her HEA, I wanted to be her friend.

And Gus, dear sweet Gus. I was so intrigued by him, and it warmed my heart that he was able to find someone, who could appreciate him and all his amazingness.

Cole gave these two a fun set up, and sweetened the deal with the whole anime escape room thing. I loved their history and the way they interacted with each other. It was fun spending time with them - Gus with his puzzles and Reggie with her love all things geek. They had chemistry and banter and the way they played off each other was fantastic.

One of the reasons I often stay away from novellas is because they tend to leave me wanting. Cole, however, gave me a story, that felt complete and left me satisfied.

Overall: File that under made-me-smile-excessively, because this book was sweet, fun, sexy, and wonderful! A fantastic addition to a delightful series, which just seems to get better and better with each book.
