"Heir, Apparently" is a charming and heartfelt rom-com that will sweep readers off their feet and leave them eagerly turning pages until the very end. With its witty dialogue, engaging characters, and swoon-worthy romance, this book is an absolute delight from start to finish. Fans of romantic comedies and adventurous romances alike won't want to miss out on this captivating tale.

In a time when life isn't the greatest, sometimes it is great to entirely suspend reality and dive into a story.

The author does a great job of keeping you entertained with the back to back ridiculous shenanigans our two MCs get in.

Is it hard to believe? Absolutely, but it is a cute loveable story. I enjoyed seeing more interaction with the side characters like Brooke, Naomi, and the royal siblings.

Now what I would have liked to see is a little more tension in the first interactions between Theo and Wren. More delving into their feelings about Greece, their relationship...I guess I wanted it to build a bit more. Maybe more on Theo's mental health issues BUT I realize this is more of a funny tale than a serious one.

There is a sense of being rushed while the story unfolds, I wouldn't have minded if she dragged it out a bit longer.

Other than that I have enjoyed the ride for Wren and Theo, and will definitely check out more of the authors books.

4.5 stars.
I liked this book even more than the first. In fact, I devoured it in one short sitting.
Except for the second to last chapter, which made me shockingly angry, but then redeemed itself in the last one.

I must say, these books are some of the most action packed straight up YA romances I have come across.

Recommended, but read The Prince and the Apocalypse first.
