What happens when confrontational tabloid photos of America’s First Son and England’s second Prince of Wales threaten relations between the two countries? Why, their handlers force them into a staged friendship! But in between official events, Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry start to become friends, and maybe even something more...

This is the absolute funniest book I have listened to in forever!! I thought I was going to give myself an asthma attack from laughing so much and so hard!!

I LOVED all the Star Wars references!!

All the HP references were tired.

I was utterly horrified that the narrator pronounced gif as "jif"!! 😱

I am head over heels in love with these characters!!

I stayed up till after 5:30am to finish this and I'll probably re-listen to it again before the year is out! (It's mid December)

OMG this book is so fucking funny, like every other page I would burst into laughter and I usually never laugh at books. Alex is such a dumbarse and the definition of chaotic bisexual but I love him anyway. His and Henry's relationship was so so so cute and everything I wanted in a romance. The side characters were so hilarious and I loved them as much as Alex and Henry. 💖💖💖 👌😩

In all honesty this was nicely packaged tame gay smut. Which we’re not necessarily complaining about through at one point it did seem very similar to Bridgestone ep7 just less explicit, and more fade to blacks. Overall it was a great easy read to get over a reading slump. Though I wouldn’t quiet count this as an enemies to lovers story as

they were firmly out of enemies territory way before the first 100 pages and they’re interactions as “enemies” are only brief before they start to become friends and lovers.
