The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

Summary: "American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty, fame and fortune. Yet it's Bex who seeks adventure at Oxford and finds herself living down the hall from Prince Nicholas, Great Britain's future king. And when Bex can't resist falling for Nick, the person behind the prince, it propels her into a world she did not expect to inhabit, under a spotlight she is not prepared to face.

Dating Nick immerses Bex in ritzy society, dazzling ski trips, and dinners at Kensington Palace with him and his charming, troublesome brother, Freddie. But the relationship also comes with unimaginable baggage: hysterical tabloids, Nick's sparkling and far more suitable ex-girlfriends, and a royal family whose private life is much thornier and more tragic than anyone on the outside knows. The pressures are almost too much to bear, as Bex struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the monarch he's fated to become.

Now, on the eve of the wedding of the century, Bex is faced with whether everything she's sacrificed for love- her career, her home, her family, maybe even herself- will have been for nothing." --From Goodreads


I truly enjoyed this book.  I loved the way the story jumped in time a bit.  I also appreciated Bex's humor throughout the book, but especially when she and Nick start dating.  The lines that were drawn between Bex and Kate Middleton were especially apparent toward the middle of the story when Nick couldn't commit.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is slightly obsessed with the royals.  

Disclosure: I borrowed this book from my local library.
