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

I usually don't really read contemporary romance, but I thought I'd give Can't Escape Love a shot. Reggy is a determined, ambitious disabled geek girl, who suffers from insomnia. It is only the voice of her former internet friend that can lull her to sleep. She contacts him to convince him to sell her some recordings, but he proposes a different deal: they can talk on the phone every night till she falls asleep.

Can't Escape Love was really sweet, and I enjoyed the interactions between Reggy and Gustave. I generally liked the novella length, making sure there is no drawn-out conflict, but I do think it could have benefited from an epilogue - the ending was rather abrupt and didn't touch on the main catalyst of the story, an escape room that Gustave is designing.
