I thought this was a cute and fun romance. I enjoyed the total aspect and the way they came together, as well as their banter and connection. Their chemistry was fantastic. I do wish there would have been a little more depth to their conversations, but I enjoyed it all overall.

Thanks #netgalley for the ARC copy. This book started great until about it continued to get so ridiculous. Not so ridiculous I quit the book but enough to make me wonder what type of book I was reading. It's entertaining, a fast read, and mostly the HEA that you crave when reading a book like this but just missing some of the refined elements of a more seasoned writer.

I loved this sequel almost as much as I loved the first one! I did not see the ending coming! I felt so bad for Wren and Theo—they deserve the happiest of endings! And I know they are getting it! ❤️❤️

A comet, a future king, a summer secret, an island adventure, and a dog.

Wren Wheeler is about to discover what happens when you secretly marry the future king of England. The race is on to find out if they are legally married.

In order to avoid scandal they will need to find a plan to save a country, their reputation, and avoid the papparazzi. But first, they need to find a way off the island, survive the creatures that inhabit it and one slightly active volcano.

This seems to be the second book in a series and while this book can be read as a standalone I think readers will want to read the first book to understand the characters more. I didn't realize there was a previous book as this kicks off from where I presume the last book ended.

If you're looking for a beach read this will be a fun adventure while you're out enjoying the ocean.

i just can not bring myself to finish it the first book was good but i dont know if its because of me but i got so bored and juat couldnt

I loved the Prince and the Apocalypse, so when I saw a sequel, I had to get my hands on it immediately. This series is weird. And I think I forgot that. The plane crash caught me off guard, the stranded island storyline at times read more to me like an “and it was just a dream” trope than an actual part of the plot, but when I let go out of my ideas on tropes and the romance genre and embraced the absurdity, I loved the book. I really enjoyed the character building we got this time outside of Theo and Wren— I loved Henry and would not mind having a spin-off just about him. The ending did feel slightly rushed, but I’m a sucker for a cheesy happy ending, so I was very happy.

Thank you, Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of Heir, Apparently by Kara McDowell in exchange for an honest review of the book. Let me begin by saying that when I read the title of the book and saw the cover, I became curious about the book. After all, I'm a sucker for all things royal, especially when it involves the younger generation. I had no idea that this was a sequel to another book, The Prince & The Apocalypse. Did I need to read the first book to understand what was going on in Heir, Apparently? Nope. That being said, I think it might have helped me understand the connection Wren and Theo better. As a reader, I could tell they had feelings for each other but I wasn't able to truly understand the depth of their feelings. Maybe I wasn't supposed to because this is a YA book and I'm not the target audience. I am now going to go back and read The Prince and the Apocalypse and see if it changes my thoughts.

The story itself was a comedy of errors. If anything could go wrong, it did. It was entertaining and it held my interest. I loved Victoria and Henry. They were my favorite characters in the book. They were hilarious..

Cute romance book. I felt it was slow at times and didn't connect with characters but overall I had fun!

Cute story. A little overly dramatic. Pretty clean, romance-wise. Slightly far-fetched. I expected a little more side romances, but was good with Theo and Wren.

This sequel to The Prince and the Apocalypse is packed full of adventure and royal shenanigans. You get to know more of the royal family and a bit of the inner workings of the monarchy. But more importantly, you'll also find out whether or not Wren is married to the King...

Wren is in her first week of college life when she learns that Comet, the dog, is in Canada, and she wants him back. She hatches a plan to get him. She, with Naomi and her sister, Brooke, head up north. But there's a hitch in her plan because Theo is there and the paparazzi are, too... chaos ensues, and she ends up on a plane to London with the royals. That's when the real adventure begins.

This was so fun, and I flew through it. If you're into the whole royal and commoner love story trope, this one is really entertaining. It's farfetched at times, but if you're picking up a book to read purely for enjoyment, this is where it's at. Only catch is you'll have to read The Prince and the Apocalypse first as I don't really think this would work all that well as a standalone.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

I may have accidentally read this all in one night! The sequel to a great novel, this one did not disappoint. Lots of adventure and finding oneself. Great YA novel!

Heir, apparently is a quick read about Wren and King Theo. I’m assuming there was a first book that I didn’t read but I did not have trouble following the story at all. It was a fast paced action romance as Wren and Theo are thrown into crisis after crisis while renewing their feeling for each other. Great YA book that I’ll definitely recommend to my students!

This was cute and fun!! Definitely far fetched but it was an entertaining sequel. I love anything involving royals. Would definitely recommend this duology

Y'all. I thought I loved The Prince and the Apocalypse, and then I read Heir, Apparently. This one surpasses.

I'm used to low stakes romances. This one is way high stakes in a few ways:

Are they legally married? Will Theo, Wren, et al. be rescued post the plane crash on a tropical island? And can they do it without driving wedges in every relationship?

And then the romance...ugh. It made my heart so happy. There is a reality show-esque feeling to it for me, as they're on a tropical island, different than the real world for either of them, and with that comes the need to soak up every minute they have. But it's not just the appearance of a tropical vacation; they're facing life and death again.

What I appreciate about this whole setup is that it forces the romance to be completely genuine. There's no chance of anyone just getting caught up in puppy love or infatuation. They have to have hard conversations, see each other in good, bad, and ugly situations. When the love confessions come around, you know they're real and deep. There's, in my opinion, no room for anyone to claim they don't know what love is or that they're too young.

The intimacy is fade-to-black. And the ending? I thought I knew how it was going to end, and then there was a twist, and I thought I knew, then there was another twist, and another one. I had no idea it was going to end the way it does. Which is such a funny thing for a romance, but it works beautifully.

The duology is such an interesting, completely out there premise & I had a blast with it. Which is not something I usually say. My favorites take me on an emotional journey. This one does, in addition to situations that I can't even fathom. It's just...COOL. If you've read The Prince and the Apocalypse & haven't pre-ordered Heir, Apparently, go. If you haven't read the first one, what are you doing?

A fun conclusion to the masterpiece that was The Prince and the Apocalypse. The plot took a turn I was not expecting, and Kara continues to delight with her zany stories.

Thanks to the publisher for the eARC in exchange for my review.

Heir, Apparently is a really fun sequel! That said, the storyline is far-fetched and doesn’t feel reasonable enough to evoke a connection from the reader to really root for the characters.

Cute, fun, g rated romance about a college first-year and the prince she accidentally married over the summer. It’s ridiculous but sweet. I read it in 2 sittings but I read quickly. The beginning is hard to follow if you didn’t read book 1 (I hadn’t), so try to read them in order!

I received an eARC of this from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Quick Summary: A fantastical YA/T romance

My Review: Heir, Apparently by Kara McDowell is book #2 in The Prince & The Apocalypse series. It concludes Wren and Theo's story.

About the Book: The world did not end. Why, then, does it feel so utterly hopeless to Wren? As she prepares to step into her freshman year in college, she realizes that she has some unfinished business to settle with the King of England. All the while, Theo is juggling so many hats. What will become of his American wife?

My Final Say: I don't care if this is pop fiction or not. All I know is that it's darn good. The story stretched itself greatly, quickly becoming unbelievable. Still, it was entirely entertaining. I was on pins and needles, waiting for the outcome. I was not expecting the turn of events.

Other: Readers who enjoy farfetched romances or stories of love between royalty and commoners should enjoy this novel.

Special Nod: I loved that mental health strand, as well as the DM thread. It was a nice touch and provided realistic struggles in a positive light.

Such a fun concept and amazing rom com – I loved it! Kara McDowell's writing is engrossing and endearing, with characters that you want to root for. I also feel like her depiction of this fictional royal family is believable and engaging. A great read!

Such a fun rom com. I read the whole thing in one sitting and really enjoyed it. After reading the first book I was so excited for the sequel and it did not disappoint.
