It's so adorable the way the MCs show they care for each other. They got me giggling anytime they denied their feelings! 

There was this weird sensation I had when reading the first sexy scene because it caught me off-guard, but all good after that! 


Enjoyers of:
-Greek Mythology
-Achilles × Patroclus retellings
-partners and friends to lovers
This was made for you!


My warmest thanks to the author for the copy!!

It's fun, cute and also informative. I ended up learning a bunch of stuff, even some bad jokes!!

The MC's clumsiness is compensated with those random trivia facts he shares all the time.


Enjoyers of:
-bad jokes
-random trivia facts
-princes × prime ministers
-slow burn romance

[my summary]
A guy who used to be the eleventh in the order of succession suddenly becomes the first and has to leave his regular live behind to save his grandma's legacy. But the United Kingdom isn't that eager to give away the crown to some twenty-five-year-old boy they have never heard of. Let alone if said boy is American. Thankfully, the Prime Minister seems to like him... in many ways.

an omega runs away to the city leaving his newborn daughter, family, and first love (also father of his baby) behind to fulfill his dreams of stardom. after several scam offers and little gigs he gets the call for a nude shoot with a renowned model who is also an omega. moved by envy he just decides he hates his guts. but after that photoshoot he’s no longer so sure about that.

it’s so refreshing to read a mc that is actually interesting after that third book!!

there’s less info dumping and repeating this time. instead, there’s a plot with characters i could care about and a couple i was actually rooting for.

also, it’s not exactly easy to bear with the mc before the last chapters so my respects for the li.

a beta reunites with his childhood friend and a playmate: an alpha he has always had a crush on and an omega who has always had a crush on him. the real problem? both are brothers and don’t want to share.

it’s so easy to manipulate this mc i was shaking my head so hard i almost turned into a helicopter!! 

the info dumping and repeating is perfect for those who want to know everything within the first chapters and/or need constant reminders. 

also, neither of the two lis was factually the better option (the mc wasn’t a good option either). they all have issues to work on. 

the lis’ mother is so supportive and loving… he doesn’t get paid enough for this.

a shy crown prince must embark on a quest to slay a mythical serpent as a traditional coming of age ceremony. luckily, he’s got two hot guards to accompany him and make this trip interesting.

it’s so steamy AND sweet i was blushing and awwing at the same time!!

the lack of worldbuilding is compensated with this sexy-lovely relationship the mc and his lis have, where they all are caring and understanding and horny.

also, the main butler nailed it as a father figure and deserves more attention!
