A love-averse Korean royal court cuisine instructor is waylaid by a gorgeous professor―and prince in disguise―who will do anything to prove to her that love and happily ever after can be theirs.
Emma Yoon dreams of opening a culinary school in Los Angeles. To that end, she teaches Korean royal court cuisine to hopeful brides of upper-crust Korean families. Thanks to her godmother, a renowned matchmaker, business is booming. But when rival matchmakers plot against her godmother using Emma’s single status, she must save her godmother’s reputation and her dreams by finding a perfect-on-paper husband―even if she’s not ready for love. Meeting the gorgeous and irresistible Professor Michel Chevalier is not part of her plan.
Prince Michel Chevalier refuses to marry a woman handpicked by his elders. If he must spend the rest of his life in service to his country, he wants to do so with someone he loves by his side. With only three months left until his arranged engagement is formally announced, Michel escapes to Los Angeles to find a bride of his choosing, someone who loves him for himself rather than his crown. Serendipity leads him right to Emma Yoon, who might just be the woman of his dreams.

I just finished That Prince is Mine by Jayci Lee and Narrated by Olivia Song and here are my thoughts on it.
Emma wants to open a culinary school and while she works towards that, she teaches brides-to-be how to create Korean dishes. When her godmother catches trouble in her matchmaking business because Emma isn't married, Emma decides to allow her godmother to make her a match but when she sees Michel in the coffee place where she has all her first dates, something sparks between them but little does she know that Michel is a Prince and he has 3 months to find a bride for love or end up in an arranged marriage he really does not want.
I really enjoyed this audio. It was a bit slow to start but I was highly entertained all the way through. The narrator was amazing and did a great job!
Emma comes across a bit snobby and I did not enjoy that. I feel like she should have been more down to earth being that she should have been the balance to a prince falling for her and Michel literally was the sweetest man. It seemed a bit weird to have such an unusual dynamic but as it went on, it worked so who cares!
I thought it was a super sweet romance with some lovely dialogue and I loved all the foodie parts. I really enjoyed all the Korean food references and found it really gave the book some much appreciated dimension. I think the only thing missing was that she didn't stand behind him and guide the knife through some vegetable items and they got down and dirty on the floor.... Would have made my day haha. (FYI that didn't happen just in case I am not clear haha)
All in all it was a highly enjoyable book and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a multicultural romance.
