A playboy prince that doesn't want to settle down pursues an unacceptable match in order to get out of marriage altogether. But Torex doesn't plan on liking Pelun, and Pelun doesn't fall into Torex's bed as planned.
From the blurb:
The plan is simple. What could possibly go wrong?
Prince Torex
Tor’s determined to get around his brother the High King’s plan to marry him off. Instead of following his brother’s suggestion (Varex should really be more careful how he phrases things), Tor’s going to pursue the most objectionable, most inappropriate prince in the United Realms. He’ll probably seduce him, since they might as well be getting something out of this. Then he’ll be able to prove his brother’s plan is asinine so he can go back to living his life the way he prefers. Simple. He isn’t quite sure what to do with the fact that Pel just might be everything he never knew he was looking for.
Prince Pelun
Pel’s determined to avoid the most obnoxious, most annoying high prince in the United Realms. He will definitely not fall for his totally non-existent charm. (Pel isn’t charmed. Not even a little. Truly.) He’s going to prove to everyone who’s ever judged Pel that he absolutely doesn’t need anyone in his life, certainly not someone with way too much magic, like Prince Torex. Obviously, it will be a piece of cake.
The Prince’s Charm is a 101K slow-burn MM fantasy romance, the first book in the Princely Plans trilogy. Told in dual POV, it features an HFN for a cocky high prince who needs to be taken down a peg or two and the stubborn prince who's just the person to do it.
SNik's review:
First in trilogy (Princely Plans). Fantasy. Opposites attract. Very slow burn. Dual POV.
Torex refuses to be forced into marriage by his older brother the High King, so he concocts a plan to court an undesirable prince. However, Pelun is not easily wooed, and the drawn out attempted courtship ends up with them unexpectedly becoming friends.
This story revolves around a playboy prince and an overlooked ordinary prince that form an unlikely companionship with hints of attraction that builds over time. There is interesting world building as the politics of the realm after a war causes friction and there is a magical caste system of sorts which seems to inform a lot of how people are viewed. It took me a while to warm up to Torex (I’m not a fan of main characters still sleeping around during most of the story), but his character does have some growth towards the end as he believes he wants only Pelun. And I enjoyed that Pelun was no pushover. I am invested in seeing where this story goes so I plan to continue the series.
