About this deal

A charming, funny, highly entertaining love story that reminds us what might happen if we were to get what we wish for.”—Edge Media Network I just loved this so much - this was a light, easy breezy, insta-love story that felt like a crossover between an early 2000's romcom & a Disney movie, but more adult & gay. Suspend your disbelief with this one, it's meant to be a cute, fun read, & sometimes those are just what we need. When a 2 is played, the discard pile resets. The player of the 2 will play another card of any rank on the 2.

I thought of the idea to do a royal romantic comedy about a gay couple 20 years ago. I kept imagining it in different forms, but I knew it hadn’t landed yet. I always wanted it to be a completely joyous romp and an all-out rom-com. I started it as a novel a couple of years ago as an antidote to the Trump years. You have to let the material take what form it wants to take, and this material wanted to be a book. I hadn’t been aware there was a whole school of royal gay romances which apparently get a lot of female readers. I also liked the idea that it wouldn’t be a lugubrious coming-out story or a tale of a gay man getting killed with a crowbar. Not all gay stories are tragic. How did you feel about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah? Christmas At The Palace written by Jeevani Charika and has been published by Simon and Schuster this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-05-10 with Fiction categories. He was destined to become the king of England, and I was a nice Jewish boy from New Jersey; we both knew what we were supposed to be doing, but we were fighting it. When it came to emotional stability, neither of us had a prayer." First things first, this book while looking at it and reading the blurb might seem similar to Red, White & Royal Blue. But that's all there is to it. The actual book, is nothing like it. This felt shallow in comparison.

Also everything is just so over the top. All the people are behaving like they're crazy. Not the funny way of crazy, just crazy crazy. It's like the sitcom version of a sitcom version of a sitcom. And then there are tons of cultural references. Like in every sentence three of them. I felt like Picard in that Star Trek episode, where he was stranded on a planet with this other captain, who just talked in metaphors. She's given me a lifelong interest in books, movies, theater and compassionately judging other people" Overall, this is a fast and fluffy romantic read that also offers a good take on acceptance. 3.5 stars (rounded up here).

Moreover, none of the characters acted like real people. They talk in ways that no real people do, and they're all way too willing to share personal information or deep emotional truths with people they've just met.

Success!

Let me finish this rant with an actual quote from the book that perfectly sums up all this utter nonsense:

Before game play begins, players are able to swap any cards from the three cards dealt to their hand with any of the three face up cards. Understanding which cards to swap will make more sense after you learn more about the game play.

NetGalley and Berkley provided me with a complimentary advance copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review. Thanks for making it available! When a lonely American event planner starts dating the gay Prince of Wales, a royal uproar ensues: is it true love or the ultimate meme? Find out in this hilarious romantic comedy. I really tried. I finished 30% and felt I had read enough to give it a chance before throwing in the towel. There's too many books out there and too little time to waste time on books that aren't enjoyable.
