What an excellent debut from Rebecca Armitage. I absolutely loved the moral dilemma’s posed to our main characters. My jaw was on the floor the entire second half of the book. You can see where the author drew inspiration from the real royal family and while truth is often stranger than fiction, the author ensured that this fiction is, hopefully, more salacious than the tabloids!

Charming, heartfelt, and full of royal intrigue, The Heir Apparent delivers all the escapism of a modern fairy tale with just the right touch of emotional depth. A story about identity, love, and legacy that feels both timeless and refreshingly current.

Rebecca Armitage does an amazing job in writing this book, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed in this type of book. I appreciated the modern fairy tale element to this book and how the characters worked in this universe. It was everything that I wanted and was invested in Lexi's story. I was engaged from start to finish and enjoyed how good Rebecca Armitage wrote this, it left me wanting to read more.

Loved this one, I could not put it down.
It is a kind of alternate history of the British royal family, but the cast of characters look just familiar enough to make this a very dishy read. If you have had a hole in your like since The Crown ended, this will be your new favorite.
Pacing, characters, dialogue, plot, stakes, and tone all pretty near perfect.
No notes, absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.
