If you read my 6/15/21 post on The Royal We, you know that I already had Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan's sequel, The Heir Affair (#990) on my bookshelf. It was just as entertaining as the first book, with a number of twists and turns I did not see coming. (How ironic that on the way to posting this review, I came across a news feed that said "Kate Middleton given a new job and Prince William announces it!")
Bex and her Prince Nicholas are off to a somewhat rocky start to their marriage, as Bex has been pilloried in the press. Hiding out in Scotland, they must make the fraught decision to return to London and take up their royal duties. For Bex, of course, that means producing an heir to the throne. The Queen has granted them their first official royal residence in Kensington Palace, an apartment formerly occupied by her bachelorette sister, Georgina. Crammed full of trinkets and treasures amassed over the course of her wild celebrity lifestyle, Bex has the main job of sorting out Georgina's things before redecorating their new home. While she's at it, she makes some discoveries with the potential to change everything.
It's a wild ride again, with the principal characters based on figures easily recognizable to royal watchers. But then again, if you weren't one to start off, you probably wouldn't be reading these books in the first place. Do be sure to read them in order, though. Thoroughly enjoyable!
