American Prince Novels & Stories

Man, trying to summarize the plot of 'American Prince' feels like trying to explain a very intense, very soapy political drama to a friend. It's the second book in the 'New Camelot' trilogy by Sierra Simone, and it picks up right after 'American Queen'. The story is primarily from Embry's perspective—the Vice President, the Prince to Greer's Queen and Maxen's King. The central plot revolves around Embry's torturous love for both Greer and Maxen, his best friend. It's a deep dive into his past, exploring the formative and traumatic event that bonded the three of them together years ago. A huge part of the book is Embry reckoning with his own submission, his desire to serve, and his place in this incredibly complex triad. The external political plot simmers in the background, but the real engine is the emotional and sexual negotiation between these three people, full of jealousy, devotion, and heartbreaking secrets. The ending is a massive cliffhanger that completely upends the power dynamics, making 'American King' an absolute necessity.

I think a lot of people go into it expecting just a steamy romance, but the plot is really a character study in masochism and worship. Embry's journey to understand that his need to be hurt and owned is part of his love, not separate from it, is the plot. The political intrigue, with threats against the presidency, mostly serves to raise the stakes and force these intimate confessions and conflicts into the open.

Honestly? No, I wouldn't call it satisfying in a neat, bow-tied way. That final scene with Embry and Greer felt more like hitting pause than reaching a conclusion. The central power struggle gets resolved, but so much of the emotional fallout between them is left hanging. After all that intensity—the mind games, the public scandals, the private betrayals—it just... stops. I kept flipping to the next page expecting an epilogue or something. I get that Sierra Simone loves her morally ambiguous, open-ended finishes, but this one left me more frustrated than thoughtful. I needed one more chapter, just a glimpse of what their dynamic would actually look like after everything imploded. It reads like a setup for another book that never came, which is a shame because the tension in the first two-thirds is masterful. The ending doesn't ruin the book, but it definitely makes the journey feel slightly less rewarding.

I've seen people argue it's realistic—that messy people have messy endings. Maybe. But for a romance-adjacent story with this much obsessive energy, the lack of a definitive emotional resolution, even an ugly one, felt like a missed beat. It's been weeks and I'm still wondering what Greer said to him after the last line.

Everyone wants to find that next digital copy, doesn't they? I ran into the same hunt for 'American Prince' myself. If you're looking for ebook formats, I'd really lean toward Amazon's Kindle store as the most straightforward option. They have the EPUB equivalent for Kindle devices and apps, which is super convenient. I usually just search the title directly on the Amazon site or app—it saves a lot of time.

Some folks mention checking Kobo's store as an alternative, and I've had decent luck with them for other titles. It's worth a quick look there, especially if you're not tied into the Amazon ecosystem. I personally just stick with Amazon for most things because my whole library's there, but that's just my habit more than anything else. The cover usually shows up right in the search, so you know you've got the right one.

One thing I noticed is that with romance titles like this, sometimes the availability can be a little unpredictable across stores, but Amazon's been consistent for me. It's not my favorite book in the genre, but I was glad I could find it easily when I wanted to give it a go.
