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 YA romantic thriller, James—the shy, handsome, mixed-race heir to the British throne—must choose between love and duty amidst a dangerous scandal and a tabloid media desperate for his downfall. Perfect for fans of Ace of Spades.
Heavy is the crown James has been born to wear, especially as the first Black heir to the British throne. But with his father’s recent passing, and with a new boyfriend to hide, James is woefully unprepared for the sudden shine of public scrutiny.
When his secrets come spilling forth across tabloid pages and the man he thought he loved has suddenly disappeared, James finds himself on the precipice of ruin. As every detail of his life becomes public knowledge, his sense of safety is shattered and the people he trusts the most become the likeliest suspects.
What dangers lurk behind the palace walls—and will the new king find out before it’s too late?

Why I’m Waiting: I’m not gonna lie… I knew nothing about this besides the fact that the cover was gorgeous lol I added this to my TBR with the quickness. But as it turns out, this is actually something I’m sure to enjoy lol It says for fans of Ace of Spades, and I did like that one, but it’s also a book about royals, and it’s Black?! I need! (And it’s LGBTQ+!) So I think it’s safe to say I will enjoy this and I need it tomorrow Little, Brown. Thanks, mgmt lol
