Why read it?

1 author picked The Unlikely Heir as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is both romantic and sweet. A prince and a prime minister falling in love is fraught with external conflicts, and Callum and Oliver have to decide what they are willing to sacrifice to be together.

Callum is insanely likable and charming. I immediately connected with him and became invested in his success in winning over the British public. Additionally, it was beautiful to watch his friendship with Oliver unexpectedly turn into love. They are so adorable together.

This book is perfect for everyone who loves Red, White, & Royal Blue.
