출판사 설명
Tracey Livesay returns in this seriously sexy sequel to American Royalty, following Duchess and Prince Jameson as they strive to turn their romance into a relationship, beneath the relentless glare of the spotlight.
Against all odds, sexy American rapper, Danielle “Duchess” Nelson and brilliant reclusive royal Prince Jameson have fallen in love! They’ve decided to take their relationship public and find a way to make their two worlds coexist. On their terms.
Unfortunately, falling in love was the easy part.
Jameson and Dani’s love story has made them the most popular royals since Prince John, but that popularity comes with a price. Dani looks forward to signing the deal with a major cosmetics company that will make her skin care line, Mela-Skin, a force in the industry, and finally grant her the control over her life she’s craved since childhood. But the company wants to take advantage of their fame and involve Jameson in Mela-Skin’s marketing campaign. Dani is outraged! Her company has nothing to do with Jameson.
After stepping up for the royal family, Jameson yearns to retreat back into academia. But he’s fired when his university raises concerns about his newfound notoriety. And suddenly the queen, initially against the relationship, backtracks, seeking their cooperation when the family is embroiled in yet another scandal. This isn’t the quiet life Jameson was hoping for.
Dani and Jameson truly love each other. But under the scrutiny of the international spotlight, when the doubts, compromises, and secrets begin to take their toll, will their love be enough?

Love and nitpicks
Overall I enjoyed this read for many different reasons. The love story between Dani and Jameson, the ability to talk about difficult topics without it feeling forced, the representation of grief. However I did have some nitpicks. The male voice actor is sometimes very hard to listen to. Which was weird because when he wasn’t reading as Jameson. He was actually quite nice. My other and main nitpick was the conflict of the entire story. One thing I can not stand is lying. Especially when it’s prolonged for no reason at all. I understand the reasoning behind the conflict, and actually like the reasoning. I just wished it wasn’t the main conflict because the lying felt worse as the story progressed. That I couldn’t finished the book for a minute. But I came back finally finished. And I didn’t care for the apology that was given. Because they were already forgiven before the apology was gave, and I just think it could have been better. All of this to say I enjoyed the other parts of the book that didn’t involve the main conflict. I do prefer the first book way more than the first.
So fun!
Super happy with the second one! Looking forward to more!! Both main characters are so interesting and engaging. Great job!! Book 3 soon please!!
