This is terrific! I am always skeptical of popular books because some are terrible but this proves that some are amazing! Alex is the biracial son of the first female president of the US. He hates Henry, Prince of Whales with a passion. When they get into a fight at his brother's wedding, Henry is forced to make nice in public with Alex. As they grow closer and become friends, feelings come to the surface as both boys struggle with being public political figures. I adored the banter and realistic personalities of both boys. I think the political aspect was well handled and the chemistry between both boys was incredible. I am so glad I read this and I can't wait to watch the movie.

Don’t think this author has any clue about the fact that royals are supposed to not be political, like at all. Soooooo…

This is a celebrity type rivals-to-friends-to-lovers Rom-Com that has a number of lines that make you laugh out loud and no specific points that rip your heart out.

+It's a lightly emotional, tongue and cheek escape from reality that lets you enjoy the Happily-For-Now it delivers.
+The steam is poetic enough not to alienate but descriptive enough to be 'edge-of-spicy'.
+I'd say this is an excellent entry level MM romance.
-While the political concepts and plotline were oversimplified in a very 'made for Hollywood' way, it doesn't detract from the romance plotline if you don't let it. For myself, I deducted for it because it was a touch *too* simple.
-I appreciate that the mention of a therapist for one of the MCs, but it's only once and he still does the 'silent treatment' multiple times. The fact that this isn't really addressed for the future makes me uneasy about the relationship's foundation.
-It was a little slow to start with the real tone of the book (which is mostly sweet and funny) which I lowered my score for. Because I feel like it might lose people when it doesn't start off on the right foot, or when it changes (seemingly suddenly) to its Rom-Com intent.
