Karen Chilton gracefully narrates a modern-day fairy tale. Grad student Naledi Smith simply does not have time for emails telling her she is the fianc�e of an African prince. Prince Thabiso does not understand why Naledi has ignored every effort at contact his assistant has made. Chilton does a good job giving voice to Naledi's frustrations with her post-doc supervisor, as well as her annoyance with patrons at the dining hall where she works, not to mention her understandable reservations regarding Thabiso himself. While Chilton makes Prince Thabiso a charming and sympathetic character, the accent she gives him is more "generic African" than a specific regional accent. The chemistry between him and Naledi, however, is undeniable. All in all, a fun story, engagingly narrated. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine -

A delightful premise enlivens this opener of Cole’s Reluctant Royals series. Naledi Smith, a New Yorker and epidemiology grad student, is busy with her lab work, her numerous jobs, her lazy boss, and her drunken best friend. She has no time to entertain the ramblings of an email stalker who keeps claiming Naledi is the missing betrothed to the prince of a country she’s never heard of. When Prince Thabiso of Thesolo learns the whereabouts of Naledi—thanks to his charming, intelligent assistant, Likotsi, who steals the show more than once—he sets out to bring her back to their homeland, but is surprised to learn that she has no memory of him or her life in Thesolo. He’s spent years dreaming about reuniting with her, so when she mistakes him for a new hire, he slides into the role, seeing it as the perfect cover so he can get to know her. Soon they build a strong emotional bond and intense physical attraction. Naledi has trust issues, so when she finds out the truth of Thabiso’s identity, the betrayal cuts deep. After a strong start, the ending falters, but the chemistry between the lovers makes up for that slight disappointment.
