The Heir Affair

By: Heather Cocks, Jessica Morgan

Narrated by: Christine Lakin

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 fairytale 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.

Critic reviews

"Royal watchers and tabloid devotees will devour this juicy look behind the gilded curtain of palace life." (Kirkus)

"The Fug Girls have done it again! 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, best-selling author of Daisy Jones & the Six)

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.

Outstanding

Characters well developed and the kind you will miss when the book ends. You need to read this book now and engage in a great story that is similar to a regular family even though they are royal. Christina Lankin you are brilliant. Well crafted story that kept me questioning and agonizing - what would I do? Thank you!

Amazing story and narration

I hope there are more!! Loved this sequel and still the best narration of any book I have heard yet!

Beautiful sequel

Nick and Bex forever. It is a wonderful love story. I hope you love it too.

Spectacular sequel!

Amazing sequel and so enjoyed! Are there going to be anymore?! I truly hope so

perfect continuation

For fans of the royal we this follow-up will not disappoint. I wish there was more.
