The first in an enchanting new male/male romantic duology from Lilah Pace, 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 decide who he is, what he wants from life and love, and what he’s willing to sacrifice for the truth...
I have to say up front that M/M F/F are usually not my thing but this was done so tastefully I am glad I read it. James the prince has been living a lie for the last ten years pretending to date Cassandra when he would really rather have a man. Ben is on assignment to interview the Prince when he gives him shelter during a rain storm and during a game of chess they realize that they both are interested in each other. So after an afternoon of sex James goes to write his number for Ben when he discovers his press pass. James accuses Ben of trying to exploit him but to Ben it’s the furthest thing on his mind. When James sees Ben again at a charity function they realize they want to continue their secret affair. James has much to deal with as his sister is into self harm and his Uncle wants to claim the throne if the grandfather dies but Ben has been his bright spot but for how long? James is trying to be brave and Ben may just be the one to show him. – Reviewed by Linda Rea
