Review Detail

MY BEST FRIEND PRINCE CHARMING is a contemporary romance told in alternating point of views so the reader witnesses both sides of the story. Shannon has a lot of personal issues she's dealing with between the divorce of her parents and the break up with her boyfriend who she caught cheating on her. Throughout it all, her best friend Ryker is there for her. When Ryker lands a role as Prince Charming, he becomes busy with the lifestyles of the rich and the famous. But even when surrounded by celebrity stars, his mind lingers on Shannon.

Shannon is jealous of Ryker's new job and the attention it earns. She feels him slipping away from her, even though she refuses to admit her feelings for him. Ryker on the other hand has always had strong feelings for Shannon. She's very important to him, but so is his family. They don't have much money, so this opportunity is life changing for them. As the tension builds, they're both forced to face their feelings for the better or the worse.

There's a lot of character growth for Shannon, even though she's quite a bit annoying in the beginning. Ryker is a sweetheart with a strong sense of what's right and wrong. He wants to be there for both Shannon and his family, which is admiral, even though it wears him a little thin. I love the idea of him being Prince Charming in both a movie and real life. Because anyone can be someone's prince with the right situation.


Overall: MY BEST FRIEND PRINCE CHARMING is a cute and clean contemporary romance that makes for a quick read. I would recommend it to those looking for a book in the friends to lovers trope and for those who prefer clean plots.
