About This Book
When a heartbroken New York event planner stumbles into an unlikely romance with the Crown Prince of England — who happens to be openly gay — the result is less fairy tale and more beautifully chaotic collision of worlds. Carter Ogden isn't looking for love, certainly not of the transatlantic, paparazzi-trailing, palace-protocol variety. But chemistry doesn't care about logistics, and Paul Rudnick puts these two men together with enough spark and sincerity to make you root hard for something that has absolutely no business working.
Rudnick is one of the sharpest comic writers working in this space, and his wit here is calibrated to cut and charm in equal measure — a joke lands, then something unexpectedly tender follows it. The dialogue crackles, the fish-out-of-water set pieces are genuinely funny rather than exhausting, and the book never mistakes cynicism for sophistication. It earns its warmth. Readers who want a romance that moves fast, thinks quick, and doesn't take itself too seriously will find this one hard to put down once Carter and Edgar's story gets going.
