I can not resist a teen royalty story, and this one was so charming. Jamie discovers he is the Prince of Minator, and when he meets his father, the King, he is thrust into the royal world. The King arranges for Prince Erik, the spare prince of a neighboring country, to tutor Jamie in all things royal. Sparks fly, but will the family of the two princes allow them to be together?
One of the things I loved so much about this novel was that both princes were out and accepted by everyone around them. That is how the world should be. I loved the blossoming relationship between these two characters. Jamie jumped headfirst into his new role and did so with such bravery because he knew he had the support of his family and friends. I just found everything about this novel to be hopeful and sweet.

It is Princess Diaries and Red, White, and Royal Blue. Just not as good as either one of those books

Two queer white princes have no personalities or problems.

I should’ve DNF’d it. Every single detail was written out for you. The characters talked like middle schoolers. The plot was so predictable. There was no conflict. The same things kept happening over and over. It was infuriating.

I received this as an audiobook ARC. Honestly, I wanted to love this. It was right up my alley as someone who loved Red White, Royal Blue, and The Unlikely Heir, but honestly, it was just okay.
I found it annoying the number of times we heard "I want to be with him but my family won't let me." I wanted to scream YEAH WE KNOW, WE GATHERED THAT THE FIRST 12 TIMES! Overall though I did like it and was excited to be allowed to read it. Just sometimes you don't have to repeat the same phrasing because we don't need a reminder every chapter that the guy can't be with him over family stuff. Even though you could tell that this was one of the romances where everything ends happily, I will say this was one of the better endings I have gone through. This one didn't make me worry about what happened to them as you have the epilogue, which is a year later. Also, you get to see a lot of it come together in the last chapter so it is definitely worth the read. Just if you get annoyed by the constant repeating of that one phrase, just know you are not alone there.
