Queen B’s Decree: Finding Prince Charming was such an adorable read.
Tyriq is a few minutes late to an interview for a scholarship and they refuse to let him in, so he goes to drown his sorrows in the nearby coffeeshop/library. There Desmond convinces him to be his fake date for an upcoming event, and Des will get Tyriq a new interview.
Long story short, Desmond is the prince of a small country and is in the US to try to live his most true life—a life where he can live openly as a gay man. Despite how cute and adorable this story is, there are some very real issues that get mentioned. The paparazzi, homophobia, racism, classism; it’s all mentioned and are important parts of their relationship, but I’m still so hopeful and happy while reading.
Filled with well-rounded characters, the romance is sweet and adorable. While it’s a bit fast paced, I still had fun time and couldn’t stop reading. I thoroughly enjoyed Finding Prince Charming.
