An American teen learns she may have accidentally married the King of England, only to end up stranded on a tropical island with him in Kara McDowell's high-stakes rom-com, Heir, Apparently.
Freshman year is stressful enough without accidentally being married to the King of England. Of course, Wren Wheeler can’t tell her Northwestern classmates about that; after surviving a narrowly-averted apocalypse over the summer, everyone’s had enough excitement for one lifetime. Wren knows she needs to move on from Theo, but she can’t forget the look in his eyes when he left her on that island in Greece—and also, he took her dog.
When an ill-fated attempt to rescue Comet the Apocalypse Dog turns into a chemistry-fueled reunion with Theo that’s caught by the paparazzi, Wren finds herself under the royal spotlight. Suddenly, she’s a problem for “the firm” to solve, and in order to be protected from the rabid press, she’ll have to fly back to London with Theo. Along for the ride are Naomi and Brooke, as well as Theo's siblings, including Henry, the brother he's spent his life being compared to. But because the universe can’t let these two maybe-newlyweds have one conversation in peace, their plane goes down over the Atlantic, crashing on a tropical island in the middle of nowhere.
Stranded with no sign of rescue, the group will have to band together against poisonous animals, catastrophic injuries, a brotherly rivalry, and an ill-timed volcano if they’re going to make it out alive. And, scariest of all, Wren and Theo will have to face their feelings for one another and decide what they want their futures to look like—and if that future will be heartbreak, or happily ever after.

I just finished Heir Apparent by Kara McDowell, the next book after The Prince and the Apocalypse.
Wren is now in college, still reeling from the knowledge that she might well be actually married to the king of England, Theo.
Making a snap decision with her best friend and sister, Wren travels to Canada where the soon to be crowned king is touring, in hopes of retrieving apocalypse, the dog she rescued.
It doesn't end well and now she has to join Theo on his trip to England, after the paparazzi uncovers their marriage. Their plan goes down off-course and now they have to find a way to survive in hopes of being rescued and fight the attraction that is still between them.
I really enjoyed the first book so I was super excited when I received a copy of the book and the audio to go with it. The narrator was amazing! I loved how they brought Theo and Wren to life for me!
I adore Wren. She is a problem solver and she gets to flex her skills when their plane crashes. Trouble is she makes more mistakes than she fixes and it is lucky any of them survive!
The writing is excellent. The author does a wonderful job of giving the characters real depth and weaving a creative tale to go with it. I feel bad for Theo. Nothing ever runs smoothly for him. He is a reluctant monarch and all he wants is the chance to live his life his way, I think we can all relate to that. It's a really cute story and I love watching their love for each other unfold in a really sweet and gentle way.
Definitely a 4 star book, series, for me!
Thank you to @netgalley, @recordedbooks and @wednesdaybooks for my gifted copies.
