Jayci Lee has written another adorable romance with lovable characters and a fun, interesting story. That Prince is Mine has an imaginative, wishful plot which will keep you smiling, anticipating what will happen next.
Emma Yoon’s only ambition in life is to open her own culinary school. She is Korean and realizes there is definitely a market for this type of cuisine. If only her godmother, Auntie Soo felt the same way. You see Emma is coming upon her thirtieth birthday, one which her godmother feels Emma will be considered too old to marry.
Because Aunt Soo is a matchmaker, she decides she needs to intervene in Emma’s life and get her married. Emma is horrified, but of course can’t go against her godmother’s wishes. So, as she begins to “date” Autie’s good on paper men, Emma always seems to find something about them she does not like. Then one day while on one of these “dates” she looks up and sees an amazing site.
Enter Michel Chevalier, who not only immediately catches Emma’s eye, but he sets his sights on wooing her. But of course, there are problems. He is from another country and is only in the United States for a few months as a professor and oh by the way, he is the Prince of the small country he comes from and has escaped because he is supposed to marry a girl which had already been arranged when he was born.
But, they do begin to fall in love and Michel tries to keep the “baggage” he has brought to the states a secret, but of course, that is difficult when you are trying to run a country in secret. Plus, there is the fact that he will soon be leaving.
Through the course of their dating though, he realizes he wants Emma to come back with him. But how can he intrude on her own dreams and whisk her away from everything and everyone she knows and loves. Plus, there is still the problem of his upcoming nuptials.
Meanwhile, as Emma begins to fall in love, she herself has reservations. How does she explain to Auntie Soo that this is the man she wants to be with knowing he will be leaving soon.
Of course, when the situation slowly becomes exposed it leaves both of them trying to figure out where to go next. Especially as Michel’s time is coming to an end in the States.
How on earth can these two make this relationship work? Humorously, of course and with some friends who themselves are having relationship issues and perfect sidekicks.
The Prince is Mine is absolutely delightful, and royal!
