I liked this more than I expected to! The premise just didn't sound like something I would like (a woman finds out she is supposedly the betrothed of a prince from a fictional African country), but there was so much more to the story than the jacket copy suggested. I loved Naledi, an orphaned epidemiology PhD student, and that she didn't just immediately melt when she met her prince charming, but made him prove himself to her. 

I also really loved the audio book narrator, Karen Chillton, who was fantastic.
