The Unlikely Heir

About this episode

In this episode, Mychel Vandover discusses the book 'The Unlikely Heir' by Jax Calder, exploring its themes and characters.

Welcome back to Queerly Popular! Today, we will be talking about the 2023 book The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder. This book came out around the same time as Red, White, and Royal Blue (movie) and when I was really getting into royal romance books. It's about an American becoming Prince of Wales and falling in love with the British Prime Minister. It's a lot of fun to read. The book does have a lot of tropes, but that makes it no less enjoyable. However, it does make it feel like we've talked about the characters before, which makes for an interesting talk about the characters. I highly recommend the book and really hope you take the time to read and enjoy it. Our next episode will be on April 23rd and will be about the book Dawn: God's United Reich by D Alexander.
