    About this audiobook

    Alyssa Cole delivers another fun, sexy romance novella in the Reluctant Royals series!

    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?

      The story was good, specially the diverse representation. However the narrator did not work for me. It was good when she was narrating the heroine, but it did not work for the hero.
    • 5/5
      So so so so so so so so damn good. This definitely is my top favorite of the series. It's so damn good

    • 4/5
      Cute! I loved the couple in this one, and found the overall story cute. A perfect little escape of a book.
    • 5/5
      Spoiler Alert ? I loved this story but the ending felt very rushed. There were so many details untold like how the escape room went, and how their relationship evolved and the reconciliation with her sister. This story desired a few more chapters. I was so sad when the story came to an end.
    • 4/5
      I grabbed this for Novella November because I really enjoyed Once Ghosted, Twice Shy, also by Alyssa Cole, and in the same series. I was charmed by the premise, and there were some moment sprinkled throughout that I really adored, but overall this book left me a little cold. Gus seemed a little too perfect, the way they met a little too unlikely, and the ending felt a lot rushed. I was intrigued by the disability rep, but the neurodiversity elements of both characters felt underdeveloped on the page. I get that the story is about their romance and not a thorough discussion of both characters' various physical and mental conditions, it just felt like there was no there there. I did root for them, I guess in the ends I felt like there were too many elements to fully resolve in a satisfying novella. Of course, this is a part of a series, and I have heard that Reggie appears in other book(s?) so maybe I would feel like she was properly fleshed out if I read the rest of them, but at this point I am unlikely to do so.Most people seemed to have liked this book pretty well, for some reason it just didn't click right for me.
    • 4/5
      Light and sweet. Ends a little abruptly - I wanted an epilogue with the debut of the escape room at the convention.
    • 5/5
      CAN'T ESCAPE LOVE by @alyssacolelit is another genius addition to the reluctant royals series. Reggie is especially close to my heart because I think we would be great friends and giggle about all things nerdy until the wee hours. This novella was delightful on audio. And don't be fooled by the brevity of this story: it is just as deep, emotional, and sexy as the full length novels in the series.
    • 3/5
      This was a quick, super cute read which I finished in a couple of hours. Whilst unashamedly romantic, I did like the two protagonists and appreciated their uniqueness. Reggie is restricted to a wheelchair, is black, wears glasses, is totally geekly, adores Anime and runs a website called GirlsWithGlasses. She is also fiercely independent, motivated and hardworking. Guy, on the other hand, is Vietnamese, has an analytical mind is obsessed with puzzles, especially Rubric's cube. Although nothing much really happens in "Can't Escape Love", except the blossoming romance between Guy and Reggie, this book did leave me with a smile on my face.
