Young Royals meets Red, White, and Royal Blue in this heart-pumping romance by award-winning author Julian Winters!
When roguish Prince Jadon of Îles de la Rêverie is left in America to clean up his image after a horribly public break-up gone viral, romance is not on the table. Carefully planned photo ops with puppies? Yes. Scheduled appearances with the Santa Monica elite? Absolutely. Rendezvous with a pink-haired, film-obsessed hottie from the private school where he’s currently enrolled? Uhhhh… Together with his entourage—a bitingly witty royal guard, Rêverie’s future queen (and Jadon’s brilliant older sister), and a quirky royal liaison—Jadon’s on a mission to turn things around and show his parents, and his country, that he’s more than just a royal screw-up. If he doesn’t prove that he’s the prince Rêverie deserves? Well, he may not be allowed home… But falling for a not-so-royal American boy has Jadon redefining what it means to be a leader. If he can be someone’s Prince Charming just by being himself, maybe that’s all it takes to win over a nation. Or at least a prince can dream…
Why Did I Listen To Price Of The Palisades by Julian Winters?
Prince Of The Palisades by Julian Winters appealed to me because I think it’s important for these stories to be told. Also, I am such a sucker for books about royals. Then we get to the whole rehabbing an image and well, yes, sign me up, this sounds fantastic! Of course, I went for audio because I have had such a tough time physically reading lately.
What’s The Story Here?
This book follows Prince Jadon of Îles de la Rêverie who ends up in America after he has a breakup that is very public and very viral. So, to clean up his image he goes to a school in America. While there he makes friends and finds a cause near and dear to his heart.Jadon has to turn things around so he’s posing with puppies and going to art galleries. He also ends up falling for a pink haired boy named Reiss who is really into films. Reiss is not at all wealthy like Prince Jadon, in fact, he is a scholarship student. Oh, and Jadon also gets involved with the theater. He starts really taking up the cause of trans rights, which I truly loved.
How Did I Like Prince Of The Palisades?
I enjoyed Prince Of The Palisades overall.I am glad to have read it. This is a book where the main character starts off quite shallow and truly grows throughout the story. You know we love character growth over here. I also would like a novella featuring Jadon’s sister, the heir to Îles de la Rêverie. Oh and the romance in the story is quite cute. I will probably not ever pick this book up again, but the time I spent with it was quite nice.
How’s The Narration?
The audiobook of Prince Of Palisades is narrated by Joshua David Scarlett. Honestly, this was a new narrator to me. I had no issues with the pacing or vocal stylings of the narrator. The narration flowed smoothy. It kept me engaged through the full 8 hours and 17 minutes. Overall, I think that is how I would recommend experiencing this book — via audio.
