About this listen

Between grad school and multiple jobs, Naledi Smith doesn't have time for fairy tales . . . or the patience for constant emails claiming she's betrothed to an African prince. Sure. Right. Delete!

As a former foster kid, she's learned that the only things she can depend on are herself and the scientific method, and a silly email won't convince her otherwise.

Prince Thabiso is the sole heir to the throne of Thesolo, shouldering the hopes of his parents and his people. At the top of their list? His marriage. Ever dutiful, he tracks down his missing betrothed. When Naledi mistakes the prince for a pauper, Thabiso can't resist the chance to experience life - and love - without the burden of his crown. The chemistry between them is instant and irresistible, and their flirty friendship quickly evolves into passionate nights. But when the truth is revealed, can a princess in theory become a princess ever after?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Editor's Pick

Hey, fairy tales do come true
"Have you ever heard of the woman who married the Ethiopian prince after meeting him in a nightclub in DC? Go on, google it, I’ll wait. My point is, this story about Naledi being a lost African princess seems pretty realistic to me, even if she doesn’t believe it herself. I love the way Alyssa Cole tells the story, too—all the elements add up to be The Story We Needed. And I especially love the way Karen Chilton narrates Naledi and her rational charm (she’s a scientist)."

Coming to America meets savvy scientist

The story feels like it was inspired by Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America" minus the more obnoxious stereotypes. He finds the woman he was was betrothed to when they were children before her parents fled with her to America. He discovers that her parents had died shortly thereafter and she was raised in foster care. She knows nothing of her early life. She is now a scientist.

Of course, the relationship gets more complicated from the start when he does not reveal his true identity and connection to her.

It's a sweet, delightful story with some intrigue. I totally enjoyed it and am looking forward to listening to more books by Alyssa Cole.

Greattttt!!

I really liked this book and would recommend this book. It had a great storyline and sexual storylines. I wish this book was a movie or TV show. It made me laugh, cry, and mad. I wish they had gotten married. The narrator was great. I this couple together and glad they found each other after her evil uncle plan when she was young and older. I hope the next book give a little more detail about their lives and how her grandparents reacted to her and their son being evil.
