About this audiobook

I've been many things.

I've been a son and a stepbrother. An Army captain and a Vice President.

But only with him am I a prince. His little prince.

Only with Maxen and Greer does my world make sense, only between them can I find peace from the demons that haunt me. But men like me aren't made to be happy. We don't deserve it. And I should have known a love as sharp as ours could cut both ways.

My name is Embry Moore and I serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States . . . for now.

This is the story of an American Prince.

Contains mature themes.

    American Prince is book two in the New Camelot Trilogy and this book was just as terrifying, intense, beautiful and captivating as book two. Now I do want to point out that this review has spoilers, so if spoilers ruin your enjoyment of a story, go below to see the overall view.So now onward to this delightful story. I am so entrenched into this threeway love affair that we have going and never have I felt so consummed by a menage love tale or even a romance to be honest. There is something so intense and gratifying that we see between this couple and boy the SEX....first off I want to point out that that sex scenes that occur here are HOT, I didn't think they could get hotter than book one but I was wrong. There was definitely more of an edge to them and they won't be everyone. We see the light and the dark of human nature and that sometimes we need to push out the bad memories with something so intense and wild. This is something we see but we also go forward with the Arthurian legend and this is the part of the legend I was REALLY dreading. I knew it was coming up, you see the story slowly lead up to it but we also see the intensity, the powerful love between them all and we also see that there are times we hurt those we love even when it kills a part of us inside in the depths of our souls.American Prince is our story told in two points of view....Greer at times, but most of it comes in the view of Embry, our American Prince. We get those delicious flashbacks into his past, seeing him begin his military career, fighting Carpathia, falling in love with Ash and the unevitable way he pushes Ash away so that he can go forward with his career, a destiny that leads him to becoming The President of the United States and one of the best leaders the country has ever had. Embry hates having to hurt Ash through the story, we see how it breaks a part of him, but we also see that Embry is ashamed too and takes it out on Ash at times. Embry is learning to become the knight he was destined to be, even when his knighthood might make him enemies with the two people that he loves more than life but we see how much he is willing to sacrifice for Greer and Ash.Another part of our story is the present day timeline that we see happen. Now this book starts off right off after book one here. Where our beloved Greer, right after the perfect wedding night with the two men she loves (and yes it was blissfully perfect, one of the best love scenes I have ever read) she receives a text from her pain in the booty cousin and finds herself kidnapped and taken to the horrid leader of Carpathia who wants her. Greer knows that some horrible things are about to happen to her but she knows that she just has to stay alive until her men can come for her. She isn't the normal damsel in distress, she makes her escape attempts when she can but its fruitless but she is then rescued by Embry who comes for her. This is where I loved the alpha in Embry. He normally doesn't have it when around Ash, but he forces Ash to see that because of his position as President he can't rescue his wife. But Embry would risk everything for both Ash and Greer. But while during the rescue, he is a bit too late. Now I want to point out that Greer isn't raped fully, but there is some groping and abuse a bit that we see. And there is an intense scene of play that we see happen between Greer and Embry. But it proves to be what Greer actually needed to help her cleanse from what she had to suffer while in the enemies hands. But there are secrets to be revealed, blackmail of enemies to happen and the story turns down south when Embry has to face up to some facts and truths and the secrets that may destroy what they have forever....THIS BOOK!!! It tore me to shreds and yet I couldn't put this story down. I simply loved everything about this story but I really wanted more from the ending and I am hoping that we see all the goodness that I need in this couple in book three. I am really curious to see what happens between the three here in the conclusion of the series. And honestly I am coming to really despise Greer's cousin with a passion. She is horrid and really I have never EVER liked her, she treats Greer so horribly and we see how she has been helping their enemies and she wants to cause Greer so much pain and grief and I am really REALLY hoping that she gets the justice that she deserves in the conclusion because really there is no excuse in what she does. We get some pretty powerful moments in this story as we see the love story between Embry and Ash unfold, we see the hidden depths in their relationship and also the downfalls in their love tale and what really brings them back together. We see a side of Ash though and it really breaks my heart to see how much he has gone through, but we also see the strong man he is. I love how fiercely he loves the people in his life and never gives up on them no matter how much they hurt him. He has this solid strength that we begin to see the depths of here. Overall I found American Prince to be a delight....a tasty delectable pleasure that seeps into your bones and into the heart of the reader and twists all sorts of emotion and feels. I am so addicted to this trilogy and to this three way pairing that is compelling, raw and heartbreaking at times. I can't wait for American King and the beautiful conclusion to their love story and hope they get the fairy tale ending they all deserve!!!

    So far the stories have been written and told well I have to say. They have held my interest. I'm not all about the type of relationship portrayed. In my opinion, it's really over the top, but it is just a story lol.

    [SPOILER ALERT] Now let's get into the part where Embry goes to save Greer...

    What the heck?! It starts with the fear of rape. They need to get her out. I'm following along. Things get way too twisted after that for me. Who the heck sits and pow-wows in the middle of an escape? It was made known he didn't kill the guys he knocked unconscious and I'm thinking in the time this whole thing went down, they would have come to at some point. I'm no expert. Seriously. Who the heck is thinking about sex when they were just about to be raped? Who the heck takes the time to have sex after a pow-wow and "pretend" it's rape and THEN sit and talk after? Then he's telling her they have to go after all of that. Remarkably and conveniently no one comes and they make it out alive. That really lost me.

    "I will break from loving him, I think. I will split with it, burn with it."

    4 (very biased because my vision is clouded by the love and the smut) stars for Embry and Ash's complicated relationship and that cliffhanger of an ending. Those two things were the best parts of this story. I however did not care for any of the con non-con scenes in the book.
    Now I have to read the series finale!

    Such a disappointment….
    After the first book I was VERY excited for the story to unfold, but about halfway into this one… it became a series of eyeroll “this can’t actually be happening” moments - both ridiculous and laughable - instead of the “intense” and shocking that was probably intended.
    I hate leaving a series unfinished but I just don’t know if I can the last one.

    This book really could have been streamlined to 4 chapters and added to American Queen. Or been the first four chapters of American King. Lets look at it this way... the story needed the proposal of Ash to Embry . The kidnapping yes..but Embry as the Vice President had direct dealings with CIA. They would have scoped the security system and hacked in, Wu could have hacked the system and turned off the cameras, this wasnt decades ago when cameras were VHS recorders..it was computer based. So that fiasco could have been avoided. Further.. CIA and other agencies would have been also alerted to terorists on US soil , this was after 9/11. They wouldnt ever gotten near the first lady..so all of that scene to me and the fall out from it was just a mess. The way Ash treated her after seeing the video ..also really? This is a polyamorous relationship, they are supposed to love each other equally. His treatment of her went beyond kink and was horrible.
    He did it in anger ..and he should have not .
    The final chapter was the chapter in the book that could have been kept . It was a lot, a lot of secrets that finally saw the light of day. That was the great writing from American Queen .
    Also blackmailing the two most powerful men in the world? Really ?? That blows my mind that these two are caving. The terrific narators are the only thing that kept me going, if this would have been a physical book it would have been a scim read.

    Ugh, this was kinda of a disappointment! I went into the really expecting, and hoping, to love this one. I almost gave the first book five stars and I was excited to see how the relationship established in that book would develop in this one. Unfortunately, that isn't really the plot I got.

    I'm going to try to write a review without any spoilers for book one but a lot of my problems from this book stems from the fact that I felt like the plot of this book didn't follow well from book one. The first book ended on a cliff hanger that seemed like it would be a very interesting plot. However, the main part of that conflict is resolved relatively quickly and there were so many flashbacks that I kept getting taken out of the plot. In book one, I would be so sucked in that I could read a hundred pages at the time and not realize it. Because I didn't really care for the flashbacks, anytime one came up, I would want to stop reading.

    There also were some huge character issues for me in this book. Embry came off as so self-loathing which made this whole book so hard to read. It used a plot device that I really hate that made me hate his perspective even more. Essentially, it was a forcible lack of communication where Embry is being convinced into not being honest with Ash and later it happens again when he is blackmailed into not being honest with Ash and Greer I thought we were going to see some development in their relationship but Embry starts of the books being self-loathing and doubting the relationship and that's how he ends the book.

    Also I should say that there is some stuff that I would describe as consensual non-consent Greer gets kidnapped and then when Embry rescues her, he pretends to be the man who kidnapped her raping her as well as an actual rape, as far as we know right now Abilene drugs and then seems to have sex with Embry and then it later turns out she's pregnant, maybe with his kid. There are also some sex scenes that happen while the characters are actual mad at each other, which I never love The video of Embry and Greer having sex after she's kidnapped is released and Ash is mad at her about it and initiates a scene with her while he is mad. In any sex scene between our main characters there is always a safe word/sign but I wanted to mention this stuff because I assumed that this book would be a similar level of dark romance but I think things got a bit more extreme. Also, less of a trigger but there's some things in this book surrounding pregnancy that kind of weirded me out. I'm very touchy about pregnancy stuff so I figured I'd mention it here if anyone else has similar feelings Greer forgets to talk birth control (which is also something that's in many books and never seems realistic to me) and thinks she might be pregnant, Abilene gets pregnant, maybe through rape, and Morgan got pregnant when she and Ash slept together (they're siblings).

    The last chapters of this book also got a bit ridiculous. This series isn't exactly rooted in realism but the end of this book took it even farther and I thought it got a bit silly. I can't describe the events without spoiling but I'll put them after the spoiler tag. Greer thinks she might be pregnant but isn't, Embry gets blackmailed by Abilene to say they're dating, breaking him off from Greer and Ash, Abilene breaks in, drugs him, and rapes him (we think), Abilene gets pregnant, Embry announces the he loved Ash the whole time and that he and Abilene are getting married, Embry is resigning from the vice presidency to run for president with the Republicans, Embry announces the Morgan got pregnant with Ash's (incest) kid. The last chapter was especially crazy and made me hesitant to continue with this series. I think I'll read some reviews first and see what others think.

    I went into this really wanting to continue to like this series and I'm really sad that I didn't like this one as much. I'm hoping that the third book will bring me back around but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    This is all about the psychology of the Ash/Embry relationship touched on in American Princess, and a furtherance of this modern rendering of Morte d'Arthur begun in that book. There is sex. There is, once again, super smutty sex. What there is not, is hot sex. This is fraught sex. It is sex that is happening for REASONS.The fraught nature of the sex creates a weird paradox. The underlying story in this book is wildly absurd. Really. And also absurd is the concept that there are one or two people in the universe you are irretrievably drawn to and you are powerless to deny the "love. But then there is an undeniable verisimilitude in the motivations of these characters, all of them, to act the way they act (until the end, which is ridiculous even if you are trying to create a modern Lancelot) and to beg people to hurt them, to scar them, to cause them real pain. The first Embry/Greer sex scene is freaking sick and horrifying, and triggering, but it also makes sense. I have seen a lot of pat answers in BDSM romances about why people need, or at least crave debasement and physical harm (giving or receiving) and some of them are so ridiculously Psych 101 (50 Shades comes immediately to mind, but there are many others) that all one can do is roll their eyes and move on. This series, and especially this book, comes closer to Tiffany Reisz than EL James. It is fascinating climbing inside the skin of these people.Another plus for me - the author is smart, has a nuanced knowledge and understanding of English lit and mythology. (I enjoyed the lit exposition at least as much as the clit exposition in these books.) Petroclus rarely makes appearances in books with good 3-ways. Its too bad really. He is an intriguing character, as are most characters damned to hell.All in all worth a read, but not nearly so fun as American Princess, nor as sexy -- IMHO not much hot happens in this book despite the frequent pulsing, pushing, gripping, dripping, shooting and clenching. Yes, I did check out the final book in this trilogy and its next on the playlist so let's see where we end up.**** Note that I got these on audio through Hoopla, and the male reader of this book is really bad. He is supposed to be Embry, and there are two major issues. The first, his "Ash voice" is laughable, its so affected, like a child imitating a teacher -- a not very smart teacher. The second, Embry is supposed to be cultured and old-money. The reader does not properly enunciate, which would not be typical in Embry's circles. Servants would be expected to speak more precisely, and certainly favored sons would not get away with such sloppy articulation. The biggest issue is all the dropped "t" sounds. So "little" is "liddle" "important" is "impordand" "persistent" is "persisdand." Its not a few times, it is consistent, and it is off-putting. Educated people, especially Harvard grads who spent time at Oxford, speak properly.
