That Prince is Mine is a sweet fluffy feel good contemporary romance. The witting writing by Lee had me laughing out loud at times. My favorite was the supporting characters of Gabriel and Sophie. I loved their character arc and development.
Thank you, St Martins Press and Netgalley for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVED this story! The romance was done just right and so was the spice. I also enjoyed the theme and plot. I love all of Jayci Lee’s books. She has definitely became an auto-buy for me.

Which is better a perfect on paper match or someone with seemingly no similar interests and experiences as you. In That Prince is Mine, Emma meets Michel while in a cafe, meeting her various matchmaker dates and sparks fly with the handsome stranger rather than with these prearranged dates. A highly engaging and fun read.

this was such a cute and easy read!!! i absolutely adored the hallmark vibes to this book and just appreciated how much love went into it. emma was such a loveable and relatable character to me, i saw a lot of myself in her!!! i have not read a romance book that involved a prince before but i absolutely adored it!!! i've always been a fan of the movie versions so this was right up my alley. i really loved learning about korean culture and the dishes emma would make, my mouth was watering the entire time!!!! overall i really enjoyed this book and loved also getting a little sice love story as well. thank you netgalley for the review in exchange for an honest review !

I must say that "That Prince is Mine" by Jayci Lee is adorable love story that had me smiling from ear to ear. If you're all about those warm, fuzzy feels and love stories that make your heart do a little dance, this one's a must.

The plot follows Emma Yoon, a culinary whiz running classes from her home kitchen, and the unexpected romance that blooms when she crosses paths with Michel, the crown prince of Rouleme. Lee spins a really cute tale that effortlessly blends the magic of a royal romance with the everyday joy of cooking. Emma's struggle to balance her culinary dreams with societal expectations is so relatable, adding that extra touch of sweetness to the story.
The connection between Emma and Michel is just downright endearing, and their quest for love against the backdrop of Los Angeles is like a warm hug in book form. It's not a complicated read, but that's what makes it perfect for those moments when you just want to unwind with something heartwarming.

Surprisingly, my absolute favorite characters turned out to be Gabriel and Sophie. They added an extra layer of charm to the whole narrative, and I can't help but cross my fingers for Jayci Lee spills more tea on their story in a spin-off.

"That Prince is Mine" is a feel-good romance that caters to anyone who adores a good royal love story. It's the kind of book that leaves you with a goofy grin and a happy heart.

Received this ARC via NetGalley.

This was super cute! The story reminded me of the Prince & Me movie with Julia Styles.

Their interactions were always so sweet. I also liked the sibling-like dynamic each of them had with their relatives.

This book had a strong theme of family obligations and expectations while trying to balance that with their own dreams and sense of happiness.

Highly recommend as an easy, light HEA read.

I'm a sucker for romances between royalty and ordinary people (just like you and me), so, of course, I loved this one! It's the kind of light, cute, and adorable romance that keeps you giggling throughout. I absolutely loved it!

Ooh I just loved Michel and Emma’s story! Emma was so against finding a love match, thinking compatibility would make for a stronger match, when she met Michel in a coffee shop.

Their story was so sweet, I loved how Michel always pursued Emma even though she wasn’t always sure it was what would mean a solid future match for her. I also really enjoy reading all of details about food, like in all of Jayci Lee’s books.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book!

A nice quick and enjoyable read. Some dialogue was a little clunky, and some plot points felt forced. Still, it was a fin read in all of its trope-y glory.

Thank you for the opportunity to read That Prince is Mine's e-arc. Although I enjoyed it and would like not write a review along with post on my bookstagram, due to St.Martin's Press not responding or taking action about the racist remarks made by an employee on twitter. I will however rate the book, as to not hurt an authors new release.

I wish I liked this book more but oh well. I definitely could see this being a much better read if it had more.. story? details? im not sure really. I didn’t really feel anything for the prince, he was just a character? Didn’t know much about him and didn’t get to grow an attachment. The romance was nice though! It was cute and fluffy, a quick read as well.

I truly enjoyed this sweet and enduring love story and how it developed. These characters desperately needed a happily ever after and the way they got it was so wonderful. And all the cooking was perfectly described and left you very hungry! This author never disappoints.

This a cute quick read! If you liked the movie, The Prince and Me you will like this book! As always a regular person x royalty/celebrity trope gets me time and time again.

a book hasn't taken me this long to read since i tried to get thru the first chapter of Les Mis

i loved the relationship between the side characters, they should have their own book! I'd LOVE to hear more about sophie and gabriels backstory and future relationship- cuz we all know they're getting together.

i really liked the first half then i put it down one day and just had 0 motivation to pick it up! it wasn't u it was me (but u a bit hahaha). and then when i picked it up i was like ughhhh it was painful to dredge through that second half. not bc it wasn't good i just soo was not in the mood for a book like this. ill have to give it another shot when i am!

Absolutely love royal romance books! If you’re looking for a swoon worthy romance that has you loving all the characters than this is definitely the book for you!

3.5 this was really cute to me. i always love a commoner x royalty trope, so i enjoyed this one too. sometimes it was a little slow but i can forgive it for that. i liked the characters and the side romance too.

I just love Jayci Lee books! Such a cute little romance book to read. I devoured this easy read cover to cover. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley & St. Martin for the eARC. Here’s my honest opinion.

I have two weaknesses: royal Hallmark movies and Cinderella trope k-dramas. If those two had a plot baby, this book is it, and to sprinkle in Korean cuisine that features royal tteobokki instead of the gochujang street food variety — 😍😋. I don’t even care that the storyline was predictable, down to the conflict that presents itself in the last 20 minutes of reading but will resolve itself 5 minutes into the end of the story. I had way too much fun reading this book. It’s cheesy in the best possible way.

“Jeongseong wasn’t a cheeky sentiment like a ‘sprinkle of love.’ It meant working hard with a generous heart”

Emma Yoon is a culinary instructor with dreams of opening her own culinary school, teaching the art of Korean royal court cooking. She is looking for a husband that is perfect on paper and her Korean matchmaker Godmother begins to set her up for an arranged marriage. Michel Chevalier is the crowned Prince of Rouleme, who is in LA for 3 months as a visiting professor. His marriage was arranged at birth and he is desperate to find his love match. With limited time and a world of differences between them, will they both find what they are looking in each other?

This book was very sweet and I enjoyed reading it. I loved that as much as Emma was so determined to see their cultural differences, Michel was so open to learning and experiencing new things and her culture. The chemistry between them was awesome. It was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. You find yourself really rooting for them. I definitely recommend this book.

A charming romance between Emma -- an American-Korean chef and commoner in L.A. -- and Michel, a visiting USC prof who hides his true royal heritage. Enchanting!
