Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: March 15, 2021 An American event planner deals with the public scrutiny that comes with dating an openly gay British prince. Carter Ogden is almost 30 and his life isn't what he thought it would be. He's an associate event architect (a fancy name for event planner) in New York City, and he's heartbroken over the vain actor who just dumped him. So he visits St. Patrick's Cathedral (even though he's Jewish) and sends up a sort-of prayer: He wants a big life. He wants purpose and love and the chance to make a difference in the world. His prayer is almost immediately answered in the form of Edgar, the Prince of Wales, who's doing a press conference (planned by Carter's company, of course) at the United Nations for a charity devoted to providing clean drinking water to people who need it. But Prince Edgar isn't just charitable--he's also impossibly good-looking and openly gay. Carter both admires and hates him for being so perfect (or, as he puts it, I seriously wanted to slap his photo or have sex with it). As soon as Carter meets Prince Edgar, however, he realizes that he's more than just a man who's next in line to the throne--he's also the guy of Carter's dreams. They begin a whirlwind romance that's full of public dates and even more public humiliations, such as Carter getting food poisoning on live TV. But their problems are larger than just an ill-timed bout of projectile vomiting. Carter isn't sure if their relationship can withstand tabloid headlines, constant public opinions, and the fact that the queen doesn't much care for their union. As the scrutiny intensifies and the obstacles mount, Carter wonders if he and Edgar are doomed--or if their royal romance is his happily-ever-after. Carter is a wickedly sharp and snarky narrator, throwing in pop-culture references and self-deprecating asides that make it a delight to be inside his head. Edgar, however, isn't as easy to like. Because his relationship with Carter develops so quickly, it's hard to understand his motivations or get invested in the men's love story. However, Rudnick (who, in addition to being a novelist, is a playwright and screenwriter) rounds out their world with a gaggle of wacky side characters who make it easy to coast along on the surface. A light and frothy take on royal romance. COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 15, 2021 New York City event planner Carter Ogden thought he had found true love with Callum Turner until he discovered that his too-sexy-for-his-own-good actor boyfriend was not only sharing his romantic charms with Carter, but apparently also with half the men in the tristate area. Six months after dumping Callum, Carter despaired of ever finding true love again when a chance encounter at the United Nations leads to an unexpected date with openly gay, perfect in every way Crown Prince Edgar of Great Britain. However, before Carter and Edgar can arrive at their very own happily-ever-after ending, they must first deal with a number of challenges, including a scandalous photo and a very cranky Queen of England. Award-winning playwright, humorist, and novelist Rudnick steeps his writing in a deliciously snarky sense of wit while at the same time effectively employing his flair for clever storytelling in the creation of a delightfully quirky cast of characters. The end result is a fizzy, fun, fresh, and fairy tale-like rom-com that will restore readers' faith in true love. COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: May 1, 2021 New York City event planner Carter Ogden is assigned to work at a royal speaking engagement featuring the handsome Edgar, the crown Prince of Wales, who is an out gay man. Carter and Edgar immediately hit it off, but between Edgar's royal responsibilities, the disapproval of the Queen of England, and Carter's numerous and very public screw-ups, is there any way the two of them can make this relationship work? Rudnick's ( It's All Your Fault ) royal romance is a light read with a flawed yet likable narrator. Since the novel is told entirely from Carter's point of view, readers may struggle to understand Edgar's perspective, though it's easy to root for the couple as they find themselves up against numerous obstacles to their happiness together. VERDICT Carter's humorous inner monologue and absurd mishaps will have readers giggling, but those making the inevitable comparison to Casey McQuiston's Red, White, and Royal Blue might close the book wishing for more emotional depth. --Jessica Moore, Milwaukee P.L.Copyright 2021 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
