The story of someone in royalty falling in love with a "regular person" is a tale as old as time, and yet this book still feels like something new and fresh, a story that I haven't heard before. 
I felt so deeply for Alex's confusion in the beginning while he was still discovering himself. Henry's anxiousness is something that's incredibly easy to relate to. The feeling of being unable to be who you truly are and being told your whole life who you're supposed to be is another thing that's incredibly easy to understand.

I often found myself smiling at how incredibly sweet the things they'd say to each other were. It's very low spice and very high sweet romance. This was such a nice, happy book to read. I highly recommend if you're on the search for pure romance.
