![]() An Army captain and a Vice President.īut only with him am I a prince. A red, blue and white combo book covers would fabulous on my bookshelf! So here’s hoping! Anyway love this cover A++īasics: American Prince is the second book in the American Queen trilogy and it is 330 pages. Greer’s cover (American Queen) was blue and Embry’s (American Prince) is this gorgeous red and I am hoping American King will be white. The Cover: The American Trilogy series has some of the best covers in the romance genre I think and American Prince is gorgeous. This review will contain spoilers and ratings of a crazed book lover/reviewer, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. On top of that Sierra is a goddess with her amazing writing, CRAZY plot twists and sensual characters. Embry is literally one of my favorite male characters and I can relate to him a lot which I think is one of the main reasons I was so emotionally invested in this book. ![]() I love Sierra Simone and the American Queen series so much oh my goodness American Prince seriously ripped my heart out. Oh my goodness this book RUINED, WRECKED AND BROKE ME. ![]()
