In this swoonworthy YA romance, the story of Tyriq and Prince Desmond unfolds beautifully, capturing the essence of young love amid royal expectations. The plot starts strong with Tyriq's relatable struggle after a heartbreak, setting the stage for an unexpected twist when he becomes the crown prince's faux boyfriend. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, and their journey through the complexities of court life and personal growth is both heartwarming and engaging.

The writing is vibrant, and the pacing keeps you hooked, making it hard to put down. However, while the premise is intriguing, there are moments where the plot feels a bit rushed, particularly towards the end. Some character developments could have benefited from more depth, which is why I’m giving it a solid four stars instead of five. Overall, it's a delightful read that balances humor, romance, and the challenges of coming out in a royal setting. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a good love story with a twist!

Thank you Bloomsbury and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. This story is so sweet! Tyriq’s life just hit a wall when he missed an important interview for a scholarship. That was the only way he was going to be able to pay for college, what’s he going to do now? And all because he was fighting with his cheating ex-boyfriend. Hope comes in the form of Desmond, the hot guy who works for Student Services. He can get Tyriq a redo on his interview if Tyriq agrees to be his date for an event. Not a real date Desmond just needs people to think it’s real. Should he? He did make himself a promise that he’s done with love. But it’s not real. Only Desmond is secretive about his life, refusing to discuss his family. The thing is Tyriq’s ex wasn’t out so he knows what it’s like to be kept a secret. It’s only when they are swarmed by press that he learns Desmond is a Prince. Now the whole world is asking who is Tyriq to have captured the eye of the Prince. His life is turned upside down and dissected. His only option is to continue fake dating the Prince until enough time has passed that they can amicably breakup. But is it fake? Things are increasingly complicated with a controlling King and a country that might not be excepting of a future gay King. Can they figure out what they mean to each other? Or will the pressure of the eyes watching them be too much? Charming, sweet, and chock full of the warm and fuzzies!!
