About the Authors
Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan are the creators of one of the Internet’s oldest and wittiest blogs, Go Fug Yourself, which both skewers and celebrates celebrity and red-carpet fashion. They have appeared as royal commentators on CNN, E!, TLC, and Headline News and have contributed to publications ranging from New York magazine to the New York Times, the Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, and VanityFair.com. The Heir Affair is the sequel to their bestselling royal romance The Royal We, and they have written two young adult novels, Spoiled and Messy. Both ladies live in Los Angeles and proudly wear big sweaters and coats when it’s 68 degrees.

The Royal We
PRAISE FORTHE ROYAL WE
“Lively and quippy…a breezy, juicy novel that’s like The Princess Diaries with fewer made-up countries and more sex—the kind of book you can imagine Pippa sneaking into Kensington Palace.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Readers should prepare to lose their hearts to THE ROYAL WE, a loving satire that is scandalously funny and wonderfully romantic.”
—Bookpage
“Pages of biting humor and breathtaking glamour rewrite a fairy tale into something more satisfying than a stack of tabloids.”
—Kirkus
“Underneath the frothy exterior is sharp look at the clash between modern women and the ways they are portrayed. It’s not a fairy tale, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great story.”
—The Millions
“Cocks and Morgan tackled their first dip into mainstream fiction for adults and nailed it. THE ROYAL WE is a wonderful tale of young love, peppered with animated characters, difficult hardships, and self-discovery.”
—RT Book Reviews
“Every bit as engrossing as the real Kate and Will…The pages turn as easily as a tabloid feature on the royal couple—and you’ll end up just as obsessed with Bex and Nick as you already are with Wills and Kate.”
—Glamour
“The authors hit all the right notes in this funny, smart, emotional tale.”
—Library Journal, starred review
“Cute, well-written, and perfect for summer…I loved it.”
—Buzzfeed.com
“An entertaining read—but also a sharp critique of how we treat celebrities and what happens to people always in the paparazzi glare…Cocks and Morgan also know that daydreams should stay daydreams because the reality is much harsher. That’s what elevates THE ROYAL WE from just a good beach book to a beach book with a message—while remaining entertaining enough to keep your butt in your beach chair.”
—Philadelphia Inquirer
“The perfect summer read…a confection of a tale, but a satisfying one, a romantic romp carried by Cocks and Morgan’s storytelling.”
—Metro (Canada)
“A joy from start to finish. THE ROYAL WE is that rare novel that makes you think, makes you cry, and is such fun to read that you’ll want to clear your schedule until you’ve turned the final page. But be warned—Cocks and Morgan have created a world so rich, a romance so compelling, and characters so funny and alive that you’ll be terribly sad to see them go.”
—J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of
The Engagements, Maine, and Commencement
“THE ROYAL WE is full of love and humor, and delicious in too many ways to mention in one little blurb. I read this novel as quickly as I could, relishing any few minutes I had to turn back to its pages. An absolute delight.”
—Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of The Vacationers
“THE ROYAL WE is as engrossing and deeply satisfying as any royal wedding documentary, and it’s a thousand times more fun, from the fairy tale to the inevitable foibles. You will want Bex Porter to be your best friend. You will feel the same way about Cocks and Morgan, who are warm, witty, hilarious, and moving in their depiction of a very complicated relationship indeed.”
—Jen Doll, author of Save the Date
“A heartfelt exploration of a life lived in the spotlight, THE ROYAL WE balances dishy decadence with an honest look at the sacrifices required to stay princess to Prince Charming.”
—Courtney Maum, author of I Am Having
So Much Fun Here Without You
“Smart, funny…[Cocks and Morgan] write like the pros they’ve become.”
—Janet Maslin, New York Times
“The characters should all be familiar: the heir to the British throne, his mischievous younger brother, his granny and the pretty commoner he meets in college. But in this version by bloggers Cocks and Morgan (a.k.a. the Fug Girls), the girl is American. Nick and Bex’s love story is so fun and dishy, you’ll hope for a sequel—with royal babies.”
—People
“Real life inspirations loom large and small and Cocks and Morgan cleverly poke fun at the more ridiculous elements of British high society.”
—Washington Post
“Royal watchers and chick-lit fans alike will delight in this sparkling tale. Pure fun.”
—Publishers Weekly
