JennifersBooks's Book Journey

I was very skeptical at first because it felt a bit too much like "Red, White & Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston (British vs. American, a prince, text messages), but I was quickly proven wrong. The biggest difference is the age gap between Prime Minister Oliver and Prince Callum. Oliver is fourteen years older, and that made the story so much better. He brings a mature touch to their relationship, supports Callum and is always there for him. This gives their bond real depth, and the way their relationship grows from friendship into love feels completely believable.

I absolutely loved the characters because they are such a great match and complement each other beautifully. It was wonderful to see Oliver accept Callum with all his quirks and to see Callum feel safe enough to be entirely himself around Oliver. That dynamic is also the reason Oliver fell in love first, and he fell hard.

The plot became a little predictable and cheesy toward the end, but I still loved it. I also enjoy that Jax Calder continues to write bonus chapters you can download by subscribing to her newsletter. It keeps the story going and gives you a glimpse into the characters lives after the main plot ends. I was thrilled that the bonus chapter revealed a whole new side of Oliver. There is so much trust between Oliver and Callum that it almost made me cry.
