Also, nobody really likes Borat that much. The rules of inheritance state that the firstborn gets the throne but since Borat's mother was the only witness to his birth, that's a contested matter. So what's it about? Two princes, fighting over a throne, on a planet called 'Rubicon.' Their names are Boran (which sounds a lot like Borat, which I am going to call him for now on) and Hunter, which is a fairly common name, so I'm going to call him Basic Bro. Truly, my friends, this is The Room of romance novels.

But it was the kind of bad that is so utterly entertaining that it becomes the standard of bad to which all books aspire. I set aside The Chronicles of Celery, Queen of the Sues, and read this like I was doing the Richard Simmons version of reading, with a one, and a two, and a three, TURN THE PAGE, and finished it within a matter of hours. YOU BET YOUR BLACK LATEX SHIRT IT WAS, BATMAN.įorget letting this precious slip through my fingers. Holy cover art, Batman! Was this that holy grail of romance wtfery? An 80s romance?

AND I SAW THAT GLORIOUS BEAUTY THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU! Then I changed my mind and decided to let my ARC expire, but first I went to Goodreads to check out the summary. I'll do anything for love, but I won't do that.īut I'm as basic as they come, and one thing us basic girls love is unicorns, and when I saw the word 'unicorn' in the title as I was gleefully scrolling for and requesting Netgalley ARCs, I one-clicked that book without even reading the summary. What's with the 1920s-style hairdos and outfits? It made me think this was going to be some lame period piece a la, 'Oh, darling, I'll never forget that one summer in Tuscany, the one where we were both as wild and as free as wild horses! Truly, my love, it was the summer. First, the new cover doesn't do this book justice at all. This is either the best worst book I ever read, or the worst best book I ever read.

💙 I read this for the Unapologetic Romance Readers' New Years 2018 Reading Challenge, for the category of: Fantasy Romance.
