I was sooooo eager to read this part two after James and Ben’s story ended on a cliffhanger of sorts in part one. I completely fell in love with these characters and their British royal family romance with lots of secrets and a M/M romance that was finally going to see the light of day. If book one is all about Ben and James falling in love and James deciding to come out despite the consequences to his role as next in line to the British throne, book two is all about the fallout in the media and the royal family as they actually make the announcement. Great pacing. Lots of juicy drama, which Lilah Pace writes wonderfully.

In this book, where Ben and James were solidly a couple, trying to work out their next steps while in the eye of the public and the UK tabloids, it was nice to see their relationship progress to a more complex level, as well as see familiar characters like Indigo, Roberto, and the corgis (I do love books with adorable dogs.) Of course, there were bound to be problems with the paparazzi and seeing how the drama unfolds as these two struggle to create their HEA makes for a delicious read.

After the Prince comes out, he struggles with his family and his country/his church (of which he is the hereditary head, because religion is freaky); he wants the crown, but he wants love more. Meanwhile, his lover Ben is overwhelmed by the assault of publicity. They love each other and have hot sex, but in the crucible of endless, pitiless media scrutiny, will even that be enough? I mean, you know, but it’s a fun journey to read. Also, let's face it, that cover is hilarious. ( )
