The Prince of Wales meets his match in the first novel in an enchanting male/male romantic duology from the author of Asking for More and Begging for It... James, the handsome, cosmopolitan Prince of Wales, is used to being in the public eye. But he's keeping a king-sized secret...James, next in line for the throne, is gay. He's been able to hide his sexual orientation with the help of his best friend and beard, Lady Cassandra. Sometimes he feels like a coward for not coming out, but he daren't risk losing the crown. If he did, the succession would fall on his deeply troubled younger sister, Princess Amelia. To protect her, James is willing to live a lie. While on holiday, he meets Benjamin Dahan--a rugged international reporter with a globe-trotting, unattached life--who catches far more than James's eye. And when Ben is transferred to London, it seems fate may finally be smiling on James. But what began as a torrid fling grows into something far more intimate and powerful. Soon James will have to decide who he is, what he wants from life and love, and what he's willing to sacrifice for the truth...… (meer)

Absolutely delicious. James is heir to the British throne, perhaps about to be king when his grandfather falls suddenly ill. He’s also secretly gay. When he meets Ben, a reporter, on a trip to Kenya and they hit it off, the two of them have a secret torrid afternoon together than neither expects to turn into anything. But later when Ben comes to England, they wind up seeing each other again. This was really nicely done, with the pressures of living under a microscope as a royal, family secrets and disagreements (I loved the relationship between James and his little sister Indigo), and wanting to live your truest life. So pleased to see there is a part two!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

Being the Prince Regent isn't an easy job, especially if you are gay and aren't able to come out.

James lives with the knowledge that a gay king is unheard of. A gay head of the Church? Unthinkable. So he has resigned himself to living deep in the closet. Then a chance meeting turns into more. But still, they both know it's not possible to live out or to be together openly. And abdicating isn't an option either. So their relationship remains hidden and secret. Until everything has to change...

I love the way this story unfolds. The characters (all of them) are strong and real. My only gripe is that this is definitely not a stand-alone story. It stops suddenly, seemingly in the middle of the story. Not quite a cliff hanger, as in not a life or death situation, but a cliff hanger in terms of everything else. So don't read this if you aren't willing or able to read the next one immediately! Mind you, it's no hardship, lol. The writing, the characters, they all draw you in and don't want to let go. ( )

Well written contemporary gay romance. A royal prince finds himself falling for a reporter - can he find acceptance in this? Worth a read. ( )

The story was not really completed in this edition, as there is a second in the series, so I felt really let down. It is interesting, and I like Pace's writing style I just wished for more closure / completion at the end of the book.

The two main characters are interesting, and there is tons of angst and self-loathing. That seems usual in Pace's books, and there is an eager audience for it, so not to worry.
