Once Ghosted, Twice Shy (Reluctant Royals #2.5)

Touched on a lot of important political topics while also not forgetting it was a romance. If you read A Princess in Theory, Likotsi is Prince Thabiso\’s advisor, a masculine presenting queer woman. You saw hints of what happened but since she was a secondary character, it was unclear why things didn\’t work out. This book fills that gap. Using flashbacks flawlessly, the story details meeting Fabiola, a Haitian-American queer woman and how she changed her world. Their cultural differences were so charming?I don\’t think I\’ve read a f/f book that featured two Black women with this dynamic and didn\’t realize how much I needed it! And they were both dark skinned! I don\’t even think I deserved this to be one of my first official reads of the year. My only complaint is it\’s a novella so it\’s about a quarter size of the other books. For a cover this banging, it deserved a full length. I bought it via audio as soon as I saw it available. Don\’t say you want to see inclusion in queer romance and not read this book!

I loved this story, so short but so impactful. I have truly enjoyed every word of this series.

what else it there to say. one: I\’m a sucker for a good black romance. two: i really enjoyed how the writer didn\’t overplay the same sex aspect. (being a woman who loves women, its important that this didn\’t come off as porn for men but moreso as a real relationship) and finally: the writer used real life scenery that i recognized

Another lovely dive into a secondary character from the Reluctant Royals series. Both characters are interesting, complex, stubborn yet willing to be vulnerable. A lovely vignette of two women in love finding their way back to each other while doing weird NYC things in the winter.

The only problem I had with this was that it wasnt a full length novel!
