How to Find a Princess

Runaway Royals

By: Alyssa Cole

Narrated by: Karen Chilton

New York Times and USA Today bestseller Alyssa Cole’s second Runaway Royals novel is a queer Anastasia retelling, featuring a long-lost princess who finds love with the female investigator tasked with tracking her down.

Makeda Hicks has lost her job and her girlfriend in one fell swoop. The last thing she’s in the mood for is to rehash the story of her grandmother’s infamous summer fling with a runaway prince from Ibarania, or the investigator from the World Federation of Monarchies tasked with searching for Ibarania’s missing heir.

Yet when Beznaria Chetchevaliere crashes into her life, the sleek and sexy investigator exudes exactly the kind of chaos that organized and efficient Makeda finds irresistible, even if Bez is determined to drag her into a world of royal duty Makeda wants nothing to do with.

When a threat to her grandmother’s livelihood pushes Makeda to agree to return to Ibarania, Bez takes her on a transatlantic adventure with a crew of lovable weirdos, a fake marriage, and one-bed hijinks on the high seas. When they finally make it to Ibarania, they realize there’s more at stake than just cash and crown, and Makeda must learn what it means to fight for what she desires and not what she feels bound to by duty.

Series excellence!

Great story. Great ending, wasn’t expecting that at be all. Gladly looking forward to the next books!

Loved this story

In my humble opinion this story was great. Very easy pacing and a sexy slow burn love story. It’s nice to see woman seen from different angles. I felt I understood myself better. Great writing, great storytelling, and great performance. It was worth my money.

The actor is terrible

The actors voices all sound the same! It’s difficult to know who she is reading bc I think she even mixes up the voices. I found it hard to get into the story of it’s her boring monotone reading. If I give this book a chance I will read it. I really hate the performance and voice

Disappointed

I loved the other books in this series, but I was really disappointed in this one. The story took was too long to get started and then ended way too quickly, with many plot points left completely unanswered. Still a fun listen, but I'll still be fuming over what it could have been for a while...

Not a cheesy lgbtq+ love story

This is a great book. I found it by looking for some in the LGBTQ+ romance section. I enjoyed listening to it. It never got boring in my opinion. However, the ending was extremely abrupt. I feel it left questions unanswered. I would like to know if a relationship continued or not. Or what happened as far as the fake marriage.
