About this listen

A royal coming out needs a professional touch.

When rebellious Leo, an ex-Etonian with a dark past, crashes into Prince Joshua's pristine world, it's safe to say the monarchy won't ever be the same.

Meet Leo: a societal outcast, ousted from nobility, whose past has seen London's grimy alleys and the company of its undesirables. Now part of an elite crew rescuing high-profile figures from scandal, he's the last person one would expect inside the lavish halls of Buckingham Palace.

Enter Prince Joshua: silver-spooned royalty with a secret that could damage a kingdom. When a blackmailer threatens to expose Joshua's sexuality, Leo's team swoops in, bringing him and the prince face to face.

Their first encounter? Contentious. But there's an undeniable spark—a raw honesty that draws Joshua in. As their worlds merge, secrets unravel, including one that links their pasts in the corridors of Eton. But amidst the banter, the challenges of royalty weigh heavy on Joshua. Leo, with his cheeky bravado, might just be the jolt Joshua needs, especially when coming out to a nation.

When passion turns to potential love, Leo's own demons rear their head. Can a former hooker ever stand by the side of a prince?

Expect fast-paced dialogue, unexpected laughs, and a tale that balances the light-hearted with the profound. Perfect for fans of contemporary MM romances that delve deep while keeping you hooked with charm.

The narration was good, thought it was hard to tell whose point of view it was between the single narrator and the poor writing.
It has a good premise and a strong start with some good banter. But the story was overly drawn out. I also loathed the way Leo’s backstory was handled. It felt weirdly judgemental while saying it wasn’t being judgemental and that whole plot line was drawn out and so poorly handled it soured the whole book for me.
Would highly recommended going to read a different queer story. Perhaps one by a queer male author that will come across and less hypocritical.

Drawn out, inconsistent, and judgmental
