Can anyone confirm if this is YA or adult fiction? How old are the main characters?

I have no idea what people are talking about with the "graphic" sex scenes, because they used a lot of language that implied sex without explicitly talking about the sexual acts. I feel like these folks would be shocked if they read an actually graphic sex scene. Unless maybe they find gay sex to be more graphic than straight sex?(less)

Henry's father wasn't a royal, he was an actor, so how is he a Prince? He'd be like Zara Phillips(no title as despite being daughter of a Princess, her father had no title) and even if Henry's father were granted one by (assumedly the Queen seeing as how the Obama's exist in this universe, I don't see why the Queen wouldn't) Henry'd likely be an Earl or Lord at best.

Also, the names (Phillip, Henry & Beatrice) and scenario (dead parent) are annoying me because it is very similar to real life. She made up the whole American family couldn't the British side of the story also be a bit further from reality? (less)

Does anyone have some recommendations for other books I should read that are similar to RWRB? I LOVED that this book was a gay version of the cliche "Prince Charming Fairytale Romance." I find most drama and romance books, shows, and movies that feature gay protagonists always focus on tragically misunderstood teenagers and coming of age. I like that this book was different and would like to read more like this.

The couple are so cute and it’s an enemies to lovers which is wonderful. (less)
