The Heir Affair

By: Heather Cocks, Jessica Morgan

Narrated by: Christine Lakin

Making it up the aisle was the easy part—now Bex must survive her own scandals and adjust to royal British life in this delightful follow-up to The Royal We.

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 family secrets 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.

"The Heir Affair is the perfect sequel to The Royal We. It is just as fun, charming, and delightful as the first- now with even more complexity and wisdom as we grow to know and love these characters even more. A timely and positively delicious story. I loved it." ―Taylor Jenkins Reid, bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

"Smart, funny . . . [Cocks and Morgan] write like the pros they've become."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"The characters should all be familiar: the heir to the British throne, his mischievous younger brother, his granny and the pretty commoner he meets in college. But in this version by bloggers Cocks and Morgan (a.k.a. the Fug Girls), the girl is American. Nick and Bex's love story is so fun and dishy, you'll hope for a sequel--with royal babies."—People

Amazing sequel!!

Sometimes sequels don’t stand up to the first in a series, but this one is FANTASTIC!! The authors may have even outdone themselves this time with the plot twists and countless emotional moments. I listened on Audible and was on the edge of my seat countless times! Christine’s performance truly brought the book to life. I can not recommend Heather & Jessica’s series enough!!

One of the BEST reads ever!!

Just do it. You won’t regret it. Both books in the series were well worth the read.

Performance and story so well done

Great continuation of previous story. Narrator is very skilled at different character. Voices and porting the story very well done

Guilty Pleasure

The perfect listen when you need a fun and easy summer escape. Many favorite characters from the first book make a reappearance and the narrator is fantastic.

Royal Rollercoaster

I wish things had ended up differently for Nick and Bex. I do admire their resilience though. It makes me wonder how the story would play out in future years.
