Blurb:
He came to disappear. Instead, he found a barista who makes espresso taste like home—and glitches no one else can solve.
Adri Linari, overlooked tech mage and younger sibling of Niralen’s charismatic Crown Prince, is more comfortable with schematics than small talk. Overwhelmed by royal obligations, a sensory-frying engagement party, and the ache of always being the odd one out, he runs—straight to the Renversé Hotel in Princedelphia, Oregon. All he wants is quiet, a place to draw, and maybe fix a few circuits.
He doesn’t expect the barista whose espresso tastes like the calm he radiates.
Single trans dad Sam Walker thrives on structured chaos—managing Café Magnifique, co-parenting five incredible kids, and serving up caffeine and kindness to a revolving door of patrons. Falling for the mysterious, purple-skinned stranger who only ever orders espresso and somehow brightens his mornings? He doesn’t have time for that.
But something’s wrong in the hotel’s west wing, and now they’re tangled in logic-defying glitches that even mess with Sam’s precious machines—and an attraction that won’t stop buzzing.
“Tech Prince Troubles” is a spicy, slow-burn male/male urban fantasy romance full of mysterious glitches, coffee-fueled flirting, found family, single dad vibes, and an opinionated espresso machine named Gandalf. It’s book 6 in the Runaway Prince Hotel collab series, where magical royals find love over a cup of coffee. HEA guaranteed.
Each book can be read as a standalone in the multi-author series, but characters do cross over. Content notes are available in the book’s front matter and on the author’s website.
MY REVIEW
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A new-to-me author, and wow—this book completely blew my mind! ✨
Adri, our young prince, only wants a little peace and quiet. But of course, life rarely gives us what we’re searching for. When he meets Sam, Adri thinks he’s found the calm he’s been craving—but instead, the two of them are swept up in a whirlwind of glitches, secrets, and unexpected attraction.
This story is a beautifully done slow burn with just the right balance of tension, heart, and magic. The found family element was touching, the romance had me rooting for them from the start, and the little twists kept me flipping the pages late into the night. I’ll definitely be checking out more books from this author!
