At first blush this was a typical category romance, heroine who thinks she's ugly (but of course actually isn't), arrogant CEO-type (prince in this case), etc. But once you get into the story, it isn't that at all. There was a lot more to the story, an understanding of why Aly thinks she's the way she is. I liked the imagined history of the Johari people. And of course, having such a wonderful cause that Aly's a scientist for (the Johari sea turtle) touched a tender chord with me.I enjoyed watching Arif go from his somewhat cold "prince" persona and grow into the man who's willing to fall in love with the little scientist. I also like how the leaders of Johari insist their cabinet members (the Cupholders) shed their prince personas for a month a year and mix with the common for as common folk (be nice of politicians had to do that, yeah?).Nothing in this book actually didn't work for me. It was a seamlessly delightful way to spend a couple of hours.Thank you to the publisher and Ms. Sellers for letting me read it!
