It had so much potential
How to Date a Prince by Hayden Stone ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars) So… the concept? Loved it. A closeted British prince, a sassy American influencer with anti-monarchy views, and a reality TV setup straight out of chaos dreams? It had so much potential. But unfortunately, the execution didn’t hit the mark for me. Let’s start with Prince Auggie: he’s sweet, awkward, and definitely trying to navigate a world he never really signed up for. The story kicks off with a cringey club encounter and then throws both Auggie and Thomas Golden—his rival/love interest—into a forced proximity setup while cameras roll. Sounds like fun, right? Well… here’s the thing: the whole “enemies to lovers” vibe didn’t feel earned. The tension between them? Kind of forced. And once Auggie decides he’s obsessed with Thomas, it’s just Thomas this, Thomas that, Thomas in every single thought. It felt less like a natural connection and more like infatuation on overdrive. On top of that, there were some really strange character choices. The best friend almost-kiss? Weird. The female best friend who knows he’s gay but still sleeps with him? Even weirder. It just didn’t make sense emotionally, and it pulled me out of the story more than once. A lot of plot holes and character decisions just didn’t feel believable, especially when things could’ve been handled in more grounded ways. That said, the book wasn’t a total loss. The idea behind the story had heart. You can tell there’s a message in there about finding your truth, breaking away from expectations, and risking comfort for love — and I appreciate that. But it needed a bit more polish and depth to make the romance feel real. Final thoughts: If you’re looking for something light and dramatic with royalty, queer romance, and reality TV flair, it might still be a fun read. But for me, the execution didn’t live up to the premise. A solid 3 stars for the idea and a few sweet moments — but it could’ve been so much more.
