This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
In this swoonworthy YA romance, an ordinary teenage boy finds himself accidentally fake dating a crown prince.
Tyriq Howell is swearing off of love. After a fight with his cheating ex leads to missing his college scholarship interview, he vows to be done with dating for good. Until Desmond, a boy who works in the scholarship office, approaches with a curious he’ll get Tyriq another interview if he pretends to be Desmond’s date to a fancy gala in two weeks.
When Tyriq shows up to the gala, he’s shocked when photographers swarm him and Desmond. He’s even more shocked when he finds out that Desmond is Prince Desmond of Catalina. And now that the whole world knows Desmond is gay, he’s front page news.
When the King angrily summons Desmond and his new boyfriend to Catalina, Desmond begs Tyriq to play along. If his father realizes Desmond is serious about coming out, he might finally agree to let Desmond pass the crown to his sister instead. But navigating court politics and pretend relationships is harder than Tyriq imagined-especially when he realizes that he may have accidentally broken his swearing-off-of-love rule.

Why I’m Waiting: I’m just going to say it now…… How does that one TikTok sound go? Bloomsbury, PREPARE TO BE SICK OF ME. PREPARE, RIGHT NOW TO BE SICK OF ME. And I’m not even playing. I’m bout to request everything y’all have! And I’m not even mad about it. Literally everything that I’ve seen coming out from y’all looks like a banger. And after the other queer royal romance I read and loved this year, I just KNOW this is going to be one of my favorite books too. I hope that I can get my hands on this soon. And if not….. Well TLA is coming fast and I am going to be standing RIGHT THERE waiting to see if they have these. Definitely going to be one of the first things I ask for!
What about you? Will you read this? Do you like royal romances? Let me know in the comments!
Ohhh nice! That’s a new to me one. I hope you get your wish granted from Bloomsbury! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
