Alex Claremont-Diaz is the American equivalent of a royal: his mother is the first female President of the United States, and his charisma, hard work and looks have landed him the title of heartthrob. What the press can’t ever find out is that he absolutely hates the stuffy, cold and outrageously handsome Prince of Wales, Henry. When he and the prince cause a scene during the Royal Wedding, they must pretend to be best friends in order to not damage the image of the President or the Royals.
This was a surprising mix of adorable, sexy and political that really won me over! I loved the chemistry between Alex and Henry and their banter was so funny, and actively blushed in the bus when Those Scenes showed up in the story. I loved how politics was such a huge part of this book, although I think it might have made the story a bit less appealing to people who only wanted the cute love story. If you dislike politics, don’t pick this up. I thought it was very current and made Alex more of a real person. This book is super hyped at the moment and I think it’s for a good reason! Highly recommend.
Oh my goodness, yes on the blushing. I don’t typically read romance and picked this up because I thought it was YA, and MAN is it racy!

Great review! I loved that this book included politics in such a big way, but I agree that it may have caused some people to not enjoy the book. But honeslty I’m glad the author decided to include all the parts about the elections, I think it made the book more relevant.

Yes, I think I saw a couple people saying they didn’t really care about the politics at all – but I thought it gave depth to the story. I totally agree with you.
