Let’s be up front and say that I am kinda wishing I hadn’t read this book right after the first one. It’s long… just as long as the first. But I still enjoyed it as much if not more. There were quite a few parts that made me tear up a little. Following Bex and Nick as they were trying to figure out their marriage and their role in the royal family was both rewarding and unexpected. As much as I really wanted this book to be split up into 2, I did want to continue the adventures of these characters I had come to love (and one I need to just get his karmic dues, mmkay?). 

Yes, there are a lot of characters in these books. But to me, there is a deeper understanding of them in this book than the first. They have become a family and that is the best part of this book.  

You can see my video review here:

Small Summary:

Making it up the aisle was the easy part: After marrying the heir to the throne, Rebecca “Bex” Porter must survive her own scandals as she adjusts to life in the glamorous British royal family, in this “highly anticipated” follow-up to The Royal We, the “fun and dishy” bestseller and NYT Summer Reading List pick inspired by Will and Kate’s romance (People).

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.
