The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
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. Which is how she gets into trouble.
I really wanted to love this one but sadly, it missed the mark for me. I could never get into the story and romance between Nick and Bex, and didn't particularly care for either character. I also found there to be far too much dialogue and the fact that it's 500 pages was painful. In the end, I found myself skipping pages and chapters just so I could move on to another book.
