The Heir Affair (The Royal We, 2)

Making it up the aisle was the easy part: Rebecca "Bex" Porter must survive her own scandals and adjust to royal British life in this "positively delicious" follow-up to The Royal We that's "just as fun, charming, and delightful as the first" (Taylor Jenkins Reid).
After a scandalous secret turns their fairy-tale wedding into a nightmare, Rebecca "Bex" Porter and her husband Prince Nicholas are in self-imposed exile. The public is angry. The Queen is even angrier. And the press is salivating. Cutting themselves off from friends and family, and escaping the world's judgmental eyes, feels like the best way to protect their fragile, all-consuming romance. But when a crisis forces the new Duke and Duchess back to London, the Band-Aid they'd placed over their problems starts to peel at the edges. Now, as old family secrets and new ones threaten to derail her new royal life, Bex has to face the emotional wreckage she and Nick left behind: with the Queen, with the world, and with Nick's brother Freddie, whose sins may not be so easily forgotten--nor forgiven.

Thank you NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for a free galley in exchange for my honest review. The Royal We is one of my favorite guilty pleasures and the second book in the series did not disappoint. It’s the literary equivalent of a Netflix binge-worthy series and the perfect read for those American fans of the Royal family. The Heir Affair continues as the newly minted American princess Bex and Prince Nick deal with both the public and familial fallout of their disastrous wedding while navigating their newlywed days and new Royal duties. Chock-full of drama, this is an addicting saga that will leave you anxious for the third installment.
